Are you in Toronto ? <| sep |> When you were one day old , one day was your entire life . When you were one year old , one day was 1365 ths of your life . When you turned 18 , one day was 16574 th of your life , and so on . As you grow older , relatively , time goes by faster and faster since a single measurable unit of time becomes a smaller and smaller fraction of what you ' ve perceived . Believe me when I say I went through the same exact funk as you ' re going through right now . After failing two seemingly simple classes , I briefly even considered leaving society and living a monastic life , believing that the whole college grind was pointless since i ' d only be grinding even more with a 95 job . You ' ll come to realize that life should be lived with the future in mind but the present in hand . If that makes any sense at all . There ' s no doubt that it ' s a scary realization . Understanding that life is whizzing past you at an unbelievable rate . It terrified me for a while . Then I began to embrace it . Waste no time . Do what you want within reason and understand that you ' re at a critical part of your life where your decisions will literally affect your future more than they ever have . The only way to come to terms with time itself is to view it as a commodity . Time will never go by any slower than it is at this very second for you . So take advantage of it . Never doubt yourself , and understand that while life might be going by faster and faster , you ' re still in the driver ' s seat , in full control . Don ' t let the rate that it goes by stop you from enjoying whats really important because years down the road you might wish you cherished that hug more in the present . As for physical ways for coping with it , learning time management skills , being organized , planning things out , and being punctual help very much when it comes to spreading out your everso thinning amount of time . Time is a commodity . Thats one of the most important things i have learned from my multiple semesters in college . Doing that will drastically change how much tome you feel you have on your hands . Just remember that feeing of being alone is merely an illusion . You feel isolated because it seems like the world is turning and you can ' t keep up . Over time you will adapt and move with it . I hope you make sense of what I said because most of the stuff I say comes out so jumbled it makes no sense . If i had to do a tldr , Time is a commodity , learn to adapt , and understand that no matter what happens you are always in control of your life so dont be intimidated if life starts moving faster . I really hope this helped because i could have used something like this when i went through what you are instead of figuring it out the hard way . Best of luck to you !
