Time of my life

By studenttraveler

     I wonder what it would be like if we all had a soundtrack to our lives. Sometimes I think of that as I am listening to my ipod whether I am walking on the campus of San Diego State, sitting on the metro, or flying. Well, I think I know what my song would be for my last week in Madrid. It was like a perfectly scripted movie, I stepped out of Antonio de Nebrija for the last time, put my headphones on, turned on my ipod to shuffle and as I walked away my song came on…Green Day’s Time of Your Life. As I walked away I soaked it all in. The school building, the park, the neighborhood, and the song….

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don’t ask why.

It’s not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It’s something unpredictable
but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it’s worth,
it was worth all the while.

It’s something unpredictable
but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It’s something unpredictable
but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It’s something unpredictable
but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life

      I definitely got emotional just thinking of all I have done, seen, the people I have met, the places I have gone, what I have learned and how my dream was fulfilled.
