So, for the Time Travel contest I'm actually forsaking the middle/high school route (we'll save that for later: Fiona Apple eat yr heart out) in favor of a much more painful time - COLLEGE. Why? Because it's a little closer to the person I am now, so it's not so far back in the past that I can actually laugh from an ironic distance. Ouch. Luckily enough, now I'm a little more mature, less depressed, and better employed (wait, scratch that last one).

Here's to indie rock, college radio, seasonal affective disorder, and my adventures in Ohio, Oregon, and Ohio again from 1999-2003.

I don't know how students could have existed before The Smiths. (Hang on, I was one and we didn't really!) Psycho Killer is another essential.
