Natural
I'd only change a few small things:
"I feel like February just started a couple days ago
('just' adds emphasis)
I have a feeling that this year will be over much more quickly than I would expect
('Quickly' should be an adverb)
(It's better to put 'expect' in the conditional because you are saying it is something you would have expected if February hadn't gone by so fast, not that that's what you expect currently.)

@katiem415 Wow! Thank you so much for the feedback! If you were in my neighborhood, I would visit you with homemade cookies. I learned a lot from your feedback. Arigatogozaimasu! so I should say "I would expect" not "I would HAVE expected" right?

I think "would expect" is better since the year hasn't ended yet so your expectations occur in the present. That said, a native speaker wouldn't think it sounded wrong if you said "would have expected."
