ELI5: Why does time go "faster" as we grow older?

I realize it's most likely our perception of time that makes it seem to go faster. Or maybe time actually accelerates, but how would we know? Anyway, I recall being a first grader and thinking that being a senior was 12 years away and how it would take forever to get there. It seemed like it did. But at some point time began to fly by. Now at age 41 the weeks just seem to blink by and it seems to just get faster with age. Everyone I speak to has the same view. Why does this phenomenon happen?

When you were six, a year was 1/6 of your life.  The difference between you and an 18 year old was two times your entire life span, let alone how much of it you remembered.  Now, time seems to fly in comparison because you have more time under your belt.  A year is only 1/41 of your life, not 1/6.
