Time Perception: School vs. Summer

School literally tricks your brain into slowing down time while summer speeds it up at

warp speed. When you're bored in class, your brain isn't forming new memories,

so you're hyper-aware of every tick of the clock. Those math problems feel endless because

your mind has nothing exciting to process. But summer is packed with new experiences, adventures,

and fun activities that create tons of vivid memories. Here's the weird part though - while

summer feels like it flies by when you're living it, when you look back, it actually feels

longer than those school months because you have way more memories packed into that time.

Your brain measures time by how much stuff happened, not by how it felt in the moment.
