Does anyone think life goes too fast?

[kovalchuk71 212]

I do. It just seems so fast. One blink of an eye and im 16 and I remember the younger days like it was yesterday

[A_Steeves12 0]

yeah i kinda know where you coming form. im 16, in grade 11. in a year and a half ill be out fo high school, and then what? i still have no idea what to do.

[kovalchuk71 212]

exactly. Im thinking the same as you. Its going too fast!

[PH_Hockey2 4]

It does go too fast. Im now 18 and just 3 months away from graduation. It was kinda scary at frist but now that I have an idea of what I want to do it a little better.

Scary to think that 10 years ago I was in 10th grade. Enjoy your time and don't sweat the small things!

[LetsGoWings13 0]

Ive noticed the same thing. When I was in 7th grade it seemed like the school year took forever now that im in 10th grade the year has gone by very fast. Its weird to think in 2 and a half years im going to be in college.

You guys have no perspective.

I'm 43-years-old. According to actuary tables, my life expectancy has now increased to around 85. That means, theoretically, for every second I've been alive, I can nearly expect to live that same number. For those of you who are fifteen, you're life expectancy isn't as high yet, but let's say you can expect to have four seconds for every second you've been alive.

Now is it fair to say that the quality of life decreases physically? Maybe, but you guys are a far way from the downward slope. :D

[kovalchuk71 212]

How do you figure out your life expectancy. I know there is an equation or something. This is interesting. Or, where can I find an actuary table for 2006 or whatever?

When I was in high school I had a prof tell me that my generation (80's born children) should live well into their 100's. I laughed, but he was serious.

As for you Kovy, yes it does, and I think about weird crap along those lines all of the time. Lately I've been wondering if my life is all just a dream, and I actually create my own reality I live in.

Do a search for "life expectancy chart." Here are two with slightly different information.

This one shows the median (I think -- can't remember my math) number of additional years that Americans can expect to live at 60, 75, 70, etc.: Life Expectancy Chart 1

The second shows how rates have changed over the years, and at different ages:

Life Expectancy Chart 2

In some ways, the information isn't contracdictory. The first is showing what half the people can expect, while the second appears to show everyone. Live a healthier lifestyle and my guess is you're more likely to fall within the first chart, barring accidents or genetics.

time does go by fast in terms of months and years. Weekdays however is another story

[yipperzz 28]

it seems like the seasons fly by so quick. i just paid for a season and now it's time to pay for the next one.

[Finlay82uk 0]

Wait till you start working for a living, ever since i got a full-time day job, the weeks fly by like nothing. what is it march now? Next we'll be celebrating fourth of july, then thanksgiving, then it'll be christmas again. LOL.

Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is optional.

[Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3]

I agree time is goinf fast, it's why you need to focus on the present not on the days that are coming.

Summer Vacation is what made life so much fun as a kid. That is why time when by so slow.

When was the last time you woke up in the morning and all you had on your "To Do" List was - Go Outside and Play.

[Fire0nIce228 1]

From may until now has flown for me. maybe it was having a gilfriend for part of it and then losing her, summer , and combined with the first semester of college, but whatever it is, this first year post highschool has been so fast. Its weird cause I'm transfering to university in fall and that will probobly make anothe 6 or 8 months go by real real quick too!

[hehatemefrisbee 0]

I'm 21 and my life has flown by since highschool. Its pretty wild.

It seems like just yesterday I was 38. Hey wait, I WAS 38 yesterday. Seriously, I have a 3 and a 5 yr. old. 10 years ago I was living in the clubs and bars chasing the chicks. How does it all get away so fast?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Dang Dude, You're OLD.... :P

I'll be 38 next December. My kids are 8 and 10, so if you need any unsolicited advice let me know.

Thank God we're not as ancient as Salming huh :D

Man i know what you mean Kovy. It's wierd because a lot of my friends have been mentioning this too when i was thinking about it. It really does seem as you get older time just flies by. Now i'm only 15, but i'm really starting to notice it.

[Jason Harris 31]

Thank God we're not as ancient as Salming huh :D

I met DarkStar and Jimmy at the tradeshow. They've seen a few more games than me.... :D

All I can say is one of my favorite quotes from fight club:

"I'm a 30 year old boy."

I turn 30 in August. I always told myself when I was in my late teens and early 20's that I didn't want to live past 50! I don't think that's true for myself anymore, but I do think it's all downhill from 25.. :)

I don't think that's true for myself anymore, but I do think it's all downhill from 25.. :)

It's only downhill if you let it. I am not saying my life is perfect, but I would not trade my wife, kids, mortgage and 12 hour rotating shift job for anything. Well,... maybe the rotating shift thing.

Otherwise each year can be better than the last if you let it. Check out a publication called "geezer jock". I think the web site is www.geezerjock.com . They even have free subscriptions. It is all old farts doing stuff that alot of the kids on this forum might be hard pressed to do. There is life after 30, 35, 40 ( I hope) and beyond.
