memory
You remember events as better than they were.
The study titled 'Temporal adjustments in the evaluation of events: The rosy prospection and rosy retrospection' was published in 1997, not 1994.
The research was conducted by T.R. Mitchell, L. Thompson, E. Peterson, and R. Cronk, and published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology in 1997.
The nostalgia you feel is a selective edit.
