The song Time is my personal favorite,,,
Because it saved my life.
As a 46 year old man with no future,,,
I drove to OSU to see about applying for admission.
I couldn't find a parking space so in frustration I left.
Just outside of Stillwater, the song Time came on the radio,,,
I was singing along just like I had done thousands of times before.
Then I got to the part where it goes:
And then one day you find, Ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, You missed the starting gun.
It was like that was the first time I had really heard the lyrics,,,
Honest to God, a cold chill went down my spine,,,
I pulled onto the side of Highway 177,,,
There I decided to change my life.
I turned around and went back to the campus,,,
Parked my car and went in to apply for admission.
That was in the summer of 1998,,,
In December of 2001 I graduated with a B.S.
In December of 2004 I graduated with an M.S.
In August of 2005 I started the new career at OSU.
That's why Time is my favorite song ever.

P.S. I did get a parking ticket that day,,,
Best $25.00 I have ever spent.
