There's a great scene near the end of the film "Dazed and Confused." In it, the main character Randall "Pink" Floyd, is standing at the 50 yard line of his high school football field. He's surrounded by his closest friends, it's the middle of the night, and they've just smoked a joint. The conversation has evolved into a discussion of Pink's discomfort with his cozy, white, suburban life (without ever actually using those words), and his wish for a path that's different from the one he and his friends had all been predestined for from their youth.
While his friends seem oblivious to Pink's ennui, many of the film's viewers aren't. Instead, we sympathize with Pink when he says "If some day I look back and say 'this was the time of my life, please kill me.'"
The irony is that the previous ninety minutes of the film were a spectacular collidascope of fun and high school hijinks that, quite honestly, were very likely the time of Pink's life. Being young and devoid of real responsibility is something that most of us would go back to in a nanosecond. So while we empathize with Pink's longing for something bigger, there is a bittersweet naivete to his wish at the same time.
Well, it applies to real life, too. It's why we have high school and college class reunions, and why sites taht help you find your classmates are so popular. Initially it was classmates.com that would help you find your classmates, but that was pretty much a scam since it charged cash for a service most of us knew would be free eventually.
Then came friendster.com, which was great help if you wanted to find your classmates since the two people you kept in touch with from high school kept in touch with two of their own, and so on and so on. But friendster was a bit of an organizational mess, and eventually it was replaced by myspace.com as the go-to website to find your classmates. Myspace was the new hotness for a couple of years, but then that was bought by NewsCorp (the people who own fox news) and overrun by teenie-boppers.
Eventually facebook.com filled the gap, and now when you want to find your classmates, that's probably the first place you should check. They have groups for nearly every school, from grade school through college, and millions of users.
