    I read somewhere (and it seems very plausible, though I’m not sure whether it’s scientifically accurate) that the subjective feeling that time runs so fast is something you automatically get with increasing age, and it has to do with what’s still exciting or new for you in life and what is not. With increasing age and life experience, you get the feeling that anything is still exciting or new less often over time. You’ve kind of seen it all, that’s why days seem much more similar to each other than when you were still a kid (when almost every experience you’ve made was still a fresh one), that’s why each day is less memorable, that’s why it seems like time is flying by like crazy.
