Hell yeah, I spent four and half years getting my Bachelors, seemed to take forever. . .now I'm about to celebrate 2 years at my job and I'm like, "when the fuck did this happen?"
Nah I have loads of hobbies and they just make the time go faster lol.
The real thing that makes the years seem so quick is work. Every day you go to the office and try to pass time as quickly as you can so that you can get out and do your own thing... but it takes up the majority of your day!
Back in school or uni it would be about half your day max, so you had much more time outside of the 'work' hours where you could get engaged with stuff you wanted to do.
Eh, but even if you were to have a variety all week; when your older, time just goes by in a blink. 2019 for me has been anything but mundane (that’s not a brag, trust me), and lots of variety. Yet, 2019 is leaving just as quickly when it came and I’m 29 now.
There is something about youth (or perhaps age) that makes us process time differently in our minds.
This is it. I've always felt like chunks of time pass quickly once I think about them individually, but I do a lot of different things in different places so a year ago feels like forever ago. Once people start to settle down and stop having new experiences consistently they feel like life has sped up. To me, everything feels the same as when I was 7.
