The older I get the quicker years seem to pass me by we’re nearly half way through the year…after the holidays I have a month left of my first year of university. Will it ever slow down again like when I was 5 and a year was a realllly long time? Will I continue to hurtle through life towards old age?
Actually yes you will! This is an actual psychological phenomenon that happens to pretty much everyone without exception. The reason for it is that time seems to go by faster because a year is relatively short compared to the rest of our lives. So, when you're 5, a whole year is 1/5th of your entire life! But when you're 20, a year is 1/20th, when your 50 it's 1/50th and so on and so on. Because of this time seems to speed up faster and faster as we age!!
