My brain, alas, is simply incapable of understanding anything outside of basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

That's ok and good enough. High math is mostly over-rated. I took 2 physics and 2 calculus and its mostly useless. Incredible how its a requirement for an architecture degree. I am in IT now and I can say that I haven't seen any of it on the work force, anywhere. Few jobs out there uses high math. Unless u go for math professor/teacher or NASA. Heck they did report a pot substance in NASA launch site before, LOL.

Mine too. I can hardly multiple and divide, much less do equations with letters and crap in them! :lol And my life has not missed those higher-level math knowledge at all. For the majority of the population, including myself, the knowledge of calculus, statistics, physics, etc. is absolutely useless.
 
I remember talking to my uncle who was in his 40s then, that Christmas was a long ways off (it was summer). He said, wait till you get older, time goes faster as you age. I didn't believe him then, but I sure do now. It's almost scary how fast the days go!

That's because at 10, 5 years is half your life, but at 30, 5 years is only 1/6th your life. The more time goes by, the shorter each unit of time will be relative to your lifespan, and so it will seem like a shorter length of time to you, and thus time will seem to speed up for you.
 
I'm turning 26 tomorrow.

I don't celebrate Valentines day, Single Awareness day or get flat drunk off your ass day. I celebrate my Birthday :)

Not saying if that's right or wrong but, I think the answer is a lot simpler than that:

Patience/activity dictates your perception of time.

If you're impatient and/or not doing anything, regardless of your age, you'll perceive time going by slower than if you have patience and/or are busy doing something.

I'm not fully certified so I don't have any patients.

I agree with this completely.
Several years ago, I went through another partying stage again when myself and my closest friends were single.
We were going out even on weekdays, and specially every weekend. And I noticed that that year seemed it went by a lot slower cause we were going out a lot.
Then after that year, got into a relationship, where basically, you just work on weekdays and only go out on Weekends and I noticed that the year went by fast again cause basically the weekdays are a blur, and you only live for the weekends.

I say it's a bit of both. Certainly perspective is at least somewhat of a factor.

:lol I knew there was something off about that post.
 
I have a 9-5, monday-friday job, and a two-year-old. I swear to God, sometimes I jump through ____ing wormholes.
