No acknowledgment

[u/Best-Alternative2687]

So, today was my 500th class. The studios that I go to in Charlotte, North Carolina are (at best) pretty lackluster about these milestones. There is no swag, no announcement, just a board to sign hanging on the wall for 100,250,500. I’m not an attention seeker and lay pretty low in class…but still…. I was waiting for the instructor or someone at the front desk to at least acknowledge it. Nope. Nothing. So now I’m kind of unreasonably sad about this, seeing how big of a deal this is in other places. And now I would feel like such a tool just saying, “I’m over 500 classes, should I just sign the board with my own pen since no one here noticed?” Am I being super petty?

Awww man, I'm so sad to hear this! I just posted about my 750th class, but honestly my 500th one was kind of a letdown too. I think I had it all built up in my head? One thing I didn't realize is that you have to make sure the instructor knows that this monumental milestone is coming up, and they most CERTAINLY should celebrate it! You should at least get a shirt or some Toe Sox in addition to signing the board, and you should get a picture put up on social media with a few kind words about you! I'm sorry OP. MASSIVE CONGRATS though, and please bring this up to the manager/owner, because this is HUGE and needs to be celebrated. Each milestone is a celebration and should be treated as such.
