Things that are more entertaining and not tedious feel like they take up less time. Imagine what it would feel like, for instance, if you were in the hospital, waiting for your family member/best friend/significant other/etc and they were having an operation. You'd be worried sick, right? Maybe biting your nails, trying to read a book but being distracted, or the like. That would feel like an eternity.
In contrast, imagine that you just got a promotion from work, you met someone you love, you have a great apartment/or house -- it all flies by, in comparison to the other situation.
