I also think being old is an asset with knowledge.
But don't wish your young life away to soon,
with age also comes wrinkles and aches and pains.

I can't wait to move and finally be on my own. Totally independent. To taste freedom. If I want to go out... guess what? I'm going out. If I want to party? Guess what? I'm partying!!! If I want to walk out the door for no friggin' reason and not return until late tonight... then you can count on me doing that WITHOUT BEING QUESTIONED.

I can't wait to be free.

Tenure. I can't wait for tenure. Three more years.

In terms of age, and what the younger pet talkers wish for... I always wanted to be 21 and on my own. That was what I wished for growing up. In reality, my 30s have been the best. BY FAR. For some reason in your thirties you get real independence. You no longer care what other people think, and you do what you want, not what you think you should want. its fun.

I can't wait to Raise my first Guide Dog Puppy and I also can't wait to see what my future holds for me, who I will fall in lvoe with, where I will live, what I will do and what pets I have. All things I can't wait to find out.

Tenure is a university process. I teach in a university. When you're hired as a professor (right after finishing your phd usually) you're hired as an assistant professor. And you're on a kind of "probation". You have six years (sometimes seven, sometimes five, depends on the school) to become a good university professor, to publish papers that indicate that you can do good research, and to do a certain amount of community and university service.
Then, at six years (in my case) I have to create a portfolio of everything I've written that got published in a journal, or a book. Every conference I've given a paper at. All of my course outlines, and evaluations (if you're in college and you think the end of semester evals dont matter, they do. a lot). And I write an essay saying what I've been doing, and why I'm worthy of tenure. Anyway, i get this portfolio together, people can send in letters of support if they want, and then its given to my dept, and between five and ten professors in other universities. If everyone approves, I get tenure, meaning a permanent position, and in my case a promotion to associate professor, and a raise. In most cases if you don't get tenure, you finish out the year, and then you have to leave. You get fired, basically. And you try to get another university position, and start all over again. It's quite a stressful thing.
So, I wish for tenure, and hope I'll get it.
