Shared date weirdness

[vvvexation]

Suddenly I discover I'm not the only one who somehow thinks anything that happened in the '90s only took place a couple of years ago. I feel much better now.

I have this cognitive dissonance. When I see "1997" written on a page, I think "long ago". Recently I heard someone say they started college in 1997, and my reaction was "oh, they're older than me"... except I started in 1996. I have no idea.

Then again, I told the doctor at my last appointment that I was 24, which is off by a fair bit, so maybe I'm just confused in general. (In my defense, I was there because I was sick. Being confused is allowed when you're sick.)
