It's June of 2011 and I just started reconnecting with my few high school friends. It is so exciting to renew old friendships. I figured everybody in my classes had attended college, married the perfect mate, have a brilliant and successful life and family. Except for my few friends, I knew there wasn't anybody interested in knowing about my boring and uneventful life but decided to put all pride aside and jot down just a few things.
