So, why does time fly by as you get older? When you are younger, you have more novel, new experiences. You see your mother for the first time. You learn your first language. Everything around you is new information. When the brain puts together these new details, they seem slower when you look back on them. When you age, your understanding of the world is larger. But because you are constantly surrounded by the usual family, school and experiences, details aren’t taken in so intricately. This makes entire days seem like fleeting moments!
According to this psychological diagram, if you turned 80 - looking back, the middle of your life will appear to be your 20’s!
Moral of the story: Do something new every day to make your life seem longer and richer.

literally don’t know how to deal with this. not seeing my best friends everyday, and some of them going away to college nothing will be the same. i’m so proud of my team and the accomplishments we’ve achieved. i’m not upset that we lost but rather that this was the last time i’ll spend with these girls. i’ll never forget you guys and we’ll always stay in touch. love you guys twp lax 2012 forever.
