Has it Really Been 10 Years?

Today as I parked in staff parking at TCC, I noticed a student being dropped off in front of a building.  This isn't that unusual.  Some people have one car for multiple people, some people just don't like to drive, and sometimes the student isn't of driving age.

I recollected that the first semester Kevin was enrolled at TCC as a dual-credit student, he wasn't of driving age for the first couple weeks of class.  So I dropped him off at that same exact spot that I saw another student being dropped off at today.  Then I realized that Kevin is 25 (soon to be 26) and when I dropped him off he was 15 (soon to be 16).  TEN YEARS AGO???? my mind screamed at me.  That can't possibly be right.  However, I am a mathy person and I know that 25-15=10.  How can TEN YEARS go by so quickly?
