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.
