Here is something that has always baffled my mind: how does time seem to go by so slow at certain point in time, but go by so quickly during others? When in fact, time always passes by at the same amount of time.
I’m not too sure how I began to think of this, but one day I thought of it, and have not been able to understand it.
I sit in class every day, and think the time is going by extremely slow. I feel the same way when I am waiting or anticipating something to happen. However, when I look at the larger picture, I cannot believe how fast everything has gone by. I cannot believe that this semester is almost over; it feels like the time has flown by so fast.
Does anyone have a possible explanation for this? Or is this another one of life’s mysteries?

I personally have no idea where the time goes. I feel exactly the same way as you. I mean when you think about University you think about having four years of school and it seems like such a long time, but in reality it is going to fly by so quickly you won’t even know where the time went.
I think that it is because when you are in a moment that moment seems to last a long time but when we look at our life in whole it doens’t feel like we’ve been able to do enough with those moments. I’t an interesting question. As you can probably tell I’ve thought about it on occasion. Still not a perfect answer though
