Why does time seem to go so much faster when we get older?

Summer used to feel so long when we were young, this year it ended so quickly.
Is there a scientific explanation for this?

There was a study like 20 years ago. Basically it said this.

If you were 2 and never saw a circle and someone drew 85% of one it might take a while for your brain to figure it out.maybe it wouldn’t. 
But then you see a circle and again and again and at 80%, you “see a circle”

When you are young your brian is really focusing and taking in information.  When you get older it fills in information with information you’ve already seen a thousand times. It doesn’t form new blocks it just refuses old ones.
