Flash forward 20 years. You are going through your mail just like any other day when you get it. An invitation to your 20-year reunion. Not only a reminder that you are now super old and your glory days are far behind you, but also a sudden pressure to prove to your old classmates that you've done something of worth since graduation.

We all have a sick worry that no matter what success or achievements we accomplish, it won't measure up. Well, I am here to tell you that the chance of you being the ultimate loser at your reunion is slim to none. In fact, you'll be too busy getting drunk at the open bar and judging everyone else from afar to care about how you come off at all. At least, that's my game plan.

And judging from my in-depth knowledge of the classic reunion movie "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion," it will be a night of surprises and ultimate deception.

You'll definitely see the once-slacker guy that went on to be super successful. He'll be the one in the really nice suit with a whiskey neat in one hand and his supermodel wife in the other. We remember him more or less as the guy that was always doing his homework right before class and rarely gave a flip what his grades were. When asked about his job, he'll say some vague, complicated phrase including the word development. What kind of development, did he say? Who even knows.

As much as you try to avoid it, you will most certainly have an encounter with the mean girl who never changed. In fact, she still lives in the area. And she lives for her country club tennis group. After the usual "Hi, how are ya?" and judgmental up-down look you so grudgingly remember from 20 years back, it's best to just steer clear of this one and do a little victory dance in the corner because no matter what you've accomplished in twenty years, you aren't that.

Nowadays, there's a very high chance that you'll have that one super unfortunate, super nerdy but super nice guy that turned out to be some kind of tech billionaire. He's definitely cuter now and definitely has that "I'm a billionaire, but I'm still down-to-earth" look about him. Do you regret pretty much ignoring him for all those years? Maybe. Are you freaking jealous? Definitely.

Over by the bar, you see the girl that used to be mousy and self-conscious, but is now a boss b****. She went to law school and became a cutthroat, pencil skirt rockin' lawyer who doesn't take nonsense from anyone. She won't stop looking at her Blackberry and looks like she would rather be tortured than be there right now. No reports on why she's there or if she's married. Mostly because everyone is too scared to go near her.

And finally, you have the guy who it took you way too long to figure out was there with his same-sex partner. You were #confused when you thought he had brought one of his bros to the reunion and feel #insensitive for not immediately thinking it was maybe because he is gay. You did always think he was unfairly attractive and just an overall nice dude. Oh well, I guess the good ones always get taken from us, ladies.

So I'm not saying attending your reunion will be the highlight of your year or that you won't regret it later, but I am saying that it is at least worth it to check it out. The bright side is that you don't have to see any of these people any more than you feel like, so get a drink and be as honest as you want. Thanks to Romy and Michele for that last bit of advice.
