Time seems to move faster the older you get. I remember being a kid, and a year seemed to be forever. In college, a year still seemed like a pretty long time. Now, a year seems like nothing. Also, when you're in school you have that cycle of semesters, so nothing seems too permanent -- new classes, new profs, new people in your classes. Once you get a real job, it's the same thing and the same people all the time.
Sometimes I worry that I'm waiting to long to have a family. Part of me wants kids, but a part of me is terrified of the responsibility.
Oh, I can relate to that, too. Especially when I see how unhappy some of my married friends are (though lots are happy, too). And now when I meet someone new, I think I sometimes rush and think "Nope, she's not the one" without really giving things a chance to develop.
