Ahh, high school--the fodder for Hollywood movies filled with unfounded expectations and unrealistic scenarios.

In August, I attended my 10 Year High School Reunion.  It was...a pretty poor showing.  Graduating with a class of over 500, maybe (this is a far stretch) 100 people showed.  As a happily self-named Nobody, I admit I was excited by the prospect of reconnecting with some of my former high school's Nobodies.  The kids who had their nose shoved to far in books and now were successful writers.  The kids who listened to The Used (and understood good music) and wore heavy eyeliner before I joined their numbers in college.

This was definitely not the case, so I wrote a list of things you can expect at your high school reunion so you won't be disappointed like I was.

It's the first day of fall.  Some people are loving it, but those of us who worship summer (like me) are in deep intense mourning and the fear in my stomach equates to the fear I felt when Steve Harrington showed up to Jonathan Byer's house with a bloodied face in the middle of a Demogorgon trap. 

These are the feelings inside of me I need to express on the death of my favorite season.

When the leaves start to fall

The Office

Michael Scott could do no wrong. Nor Jim, nor Pam, nor anybody at Dunder Mifflin.  The writing on this show was magical.  I watched it when it was on and then binged the entire series.  Twice.

How I Met Your Mother

This show broke my heart.  I was a HIMYM fanatic since day one and then they went ahead and wrote that awful finale.  I haven't watched an episode since, but while it was on, I watched reruns nightly and planned my evening around a chance to witness Slapsgiving.

Vanderpump Rules

This show is garbage.  I know that, I accept that, but it doesn't keep me from watching. My dad watches it too.  I'm totally throwing him under the bus.

Girl Meets World

This show is so beautifully written and their ability to tie back to previous episodes is flawless.  It's relatable at any age.  Don't get in my way on Friday night or you'll the wrath of a girl who missed Girl Meets World.

Parks and Recreation

I was such a hater for such a long time. I refused to watch this show when it was on (fearing another repeated HIMYM upset) and waited to binge it on Netflix.  I am so sorry I didn't have some more faith Pawnee.

The Inbetweeners

I watch The Inbetweeners at least once a year.  I'm talking about the original British version, ignore MTV's copycat.  

Melissa & Joey

I binged this show while painting the studio apartment in my grandpa's house.  I'll forever remember almost dropping my soaked in brown paint on the newly installed wood floors.

Psych

There will never be a buddy show like Psych for me.  Or anyone who could deliver lines like James Roday.

Portlandia

I legit watch Portlandia every night to fall asleep.  I've probably watched it thousands of times at this point.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Workaholics is a minefield of wisdom.  From avoiding work while at work, getting chicks, and hanging out with your bros, Adam, Anders, and Blake rarely disappoint.  In fact, here are 11 times they totally get it.
