10 Times That Time Wasn't Real

1. Those short naps you take that turn into years.

2. When you realize "Where Is The Love?" by the Black Eyed Peas was actually released in 2003, and not two-years ago. Crazy!

3. As you read this, the Earth is both rotating and revolving, both of which is how we measure time.

However, Earth is only part of a never-ending space whose voids we can only guess at. Our man-made system of time is not capable of guessing at the age of a universe whose origins is not known, and probably will not be known in a million lifetimes. (It is unclear whether there was a true beginning in the first place.) Our system of time only attempts to estimate the moments we have on Earth before we are recycled back as atoms into the cosmos. Time, therefore, can exist in multitudes across the galaxy or perhaps not all.

4. When you realize the Backstreet Boys are old now (!) What's up with that?

5. But, some articles suggest that if time were to exist, it could be linear or, most likely, circular.

Some theorists speculate that time can actually exist in multitudes and believe that everything that will happen, has actually already happened, perhaps proving a version of a “fate” or “destiny.”

6. The moment you remember there’s only two-weeks until college! Wow, summer really goes fast!


7. Another possible theory of time is the theory of queer temporality, which suggests that queer people experience time faster than their straight counterparts.

(Could this be an explanation for the U-Hauling stereotype?) This is probably due to the fact that queer people develop different spatial and temporal relationships in regards to their world around them.

8. Realizing that 2016 is almost over and you still haven’t done anything with your life. #tooreal.

9. Someone once pointed out that as you get older, the years seem to go by faster, as the fraction of one year to your entire life grows smaller and smaller, thus making time “speed up” and making a linear time sequence inconsistent.

And finally...


10. When those Sunday night feels hit you, and you dread getting up for work on Monday. Where does the weekend go? #sorelatable

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
