Is it just me, or is it that when you turn age 20, life speeds up?!
Question: One day I was 18, then I woke up, and I was 22, soon to be 23. Am I the only one that sees it this way?

It's not just you, as you can see from the other responses and it gets even worse in your 30s (I can testify to that) and I guess in your 40s as well (can't testify to that but I'm really scared now!).
The problem is the loss of time. When in school, there is all of this TIME...the boredom watching the clock during class, the long summers, etc. The older you get (until retirement I guess) the less time you have. College is a blur (for more reasons than one *hiccup*) and then when you get a job, you're time is stolen for 8 hours a day plus lunch plus travel time, then you have kids and there goes all remaining time. So with most of the time taken by others, there is very little time to live. And the time living is what you remember, so you used to have 16 hours a day to live, then maybe 10 or 12 in college, then maybe 3 or 4 when working, then perhaps 1 hour in an entire week when you're working parent.
When someone is alive only one hour a week, four hours a month, 48 hours a year, those years just fly by. And you're left wondering where it all went. Well, it went to your kids and job and traffic.
So enjoy every single second that you're left with while you have it!
ah crap...I'm turing 20 in January!
I'm 14 and life is already speeding up! Damn it!
wait till your 30's.
Wait till you hit 40.
Wait until you hit the 40s...
Wait til you hit 30!
It seems like the older I get, the faster it goes.
It happened to me after 21, it seems like time has flown, I'm 33 now and I don't know where the past 12 years have gone.
no thats what happens... yesterday I was 18, today i'm 23... who knows about tomorrow...
I agree. I think we see life this way because after 18 you have many more life choices to make on your own and much more responsibilities to accept.
For me it started with highschool graduation (and increased responsibility). Then when I had my daughter, I blinked and she turned 5 3 days ago!
Wait until your 40. It's all about gravity then.
Once I had a child life started speeding up. I had my first kid at 18.
im turning 20 in december..hopefully it doesnt go by as fast as you say it is!!!
Yeah I noticed that .. I turned 20 and I dunno what the hell happened after that bt here I am
don't b hard on urself. u should just go with wut life offers u. sum days ur life will seem 2 speed up, and sum days, it will seem 2 slow down. eventually, it'll even out. i promise. or maybe it's just a fast fase. same thing happened
Wait till you hit your 30's and/or have kids! Whoa! Life is flying by for me!!
Not your imagination, friend. 66 is breathing down my
neck--have no idea what happened to the years between
birth and 66. I may never know. Enjoy every day no matter
the age. Strange, eh???
I agree, time does seem to fly now. I
he he. Wait until you turn 60 !
its when u turn 18 it just flys afer that. i feel like yesturday i was still in shcool now im 2 months away frm 21!!!
im 14 and im bout ready for life to speed up!
it's not just you but it doesn't speed up for me. i am 23 and it's moving slow to me
Yes it definitely speeds up. You spend your younger years wishing to get older quicker, so time seems too slow. Then you spend your older years wishing you were younger and holding onto your youth...and then time starts skipping forward.
I agree, but I think it sped up after I graduated high school. I'm 32 now, and sometimes I wonder "where did the time go"?
yeah it does!
you get busier as you get older there for youodn't hve time to stop and smell the roses as much!
lol
but i do anyway and it's still flashed by!
going to my 10 year this year! AWWWWWW i'm getting old!
for me it started speeding up when i turned 17, it goes by tooo fast i'm already going to be 19 in a couple months!
At 10 years old, a year is only 1/10th of your life compared to 1/5th when you were 5. so saying your 22 the next year will only be 1/23rd of what you've know as life. Now imagine being 42, for example a year then compared to their entire existance is only 1/42nd of thier life. Anyways, that's it in a nutshell, hope it helps.
Yes it does. When you are older the only things you have to look forward to are paying bills and deadlines and of course it seems to come faster than you want it to. When you are a kid you are always looking forward to something like vacation, summer or christmas that time seems to creep.
I think you're right ....
GO STEELERS!
(not like that had ANYTHING to do with your question ... lol)
