Time would feel faster too. We perceive time moving faster as we age.

Apparently, it’s because our perception of time is relative. At 5 years old, 1 year feels like a long time because it’s 20% of our lives. But 1 year at 30 years old is a much smaller fraction.

I used to think that too, but nowadays I prescribe more to the idea that the perception of time is more related to how many new and unique experiences you have. As a kid everything is new and exciting, but as an adult you get stuck in a routine where things just blend together.
