No. When you reach the speed of light, time SLOWS down, and distance SHRINKS, so your trip ends (almost) instantly. Stationary person who is watching your trippin' will see your trip as 10 years long.
Edit:
To clarify it to you, imagine you're super sexy space agent KrisKnox, and you're coming back home riding your awesome pink intergalactic spaceship named 'Lyudmila' back home to earth, where your beloved...ugh I'm lazy to crap out cliches.
Imagine you're traveling with speed of light from Sun to Earth, where your friends wait you for a beer. So you tell them over the phone "I'll be there in just a sec". From your perspective, you will arrive in just a second, but for them, minutes have past.
Light comes from Sun to Earth in 8 minutes, from OUR perspective. From PHOTON's perspective, he traveled just a second.
Some particles can travel long distances (say 10 light years) although their existence is possible only for a fragment of a second (if stationary). BUT, if they travel with light speed, we will see that they exist for 10 years (although that shouldn't be the case), but their time is dilated (slowed down) so from our perspective, they can live for 10 years.
I'm not really good at explaining things
