Enough money to pay for my whole four years of college tuition + couple years of room and board. So let's see...$96,000 + perhaps, $16,000.....$112,000?

I have the same problem! Especially since the fees for University is rising rapidly to ridiculous sums of money.

I want to find a flat as well. Whether I can afford it...

My wish is related to the same thing but it's the contrary. In my country to enter a college you need to make a test with 90 multiple option questions, if there are 300 empty positions you need to be in the top 300 to get accepted. After this you make a test with the 300 guys that passed, this one has dissertative questions, if you get in the top 100* you will make a text a bout a chosen subject, if you do get in top 50 You are in.

And what does it matter? Public colleges here are the most difficult ones, so my dream is to NOT have to pay for college and getting in the public college before I turn 19 y/o

Last year I did the test as a Trainee and got 53/90, I need 87/90 to pass. So it's 2 years to raise my score in 34 points..... And after that ranking 50 against about 300 guys capable of scoring the same....A dream indeed no

I want to understand everything. I guess this is almost the same as wanting to know everything, but you can know something without understand it - I know 2 + 2 = 4, but I don't know why. I want to understand people, functions, the universe, everything. Alas, it's impossible... but I can want it. smile

hmm.. let's see. The Idolm@ster 2 First Print Limited Edition but I can't get it because I don't have enough money(I'm only a high schooler). The Gundam 00-raiser Perfect Grade because of the same reasons as before and.. some guy. A classmate. I like him but he and my best friend have this history and there's also the rule about not having anything with your bestfriend's ex. btw, she doesn't I like him because I know she'll just doubt me about it. =)) oh, the power of invisibility too.

I tough about it too, I came to the conclusion that a being without the capability to know everything would go crazy instantly if he got to know it.
Then I changed the wish. I wish to know things I decide to know. Something like being able to ask questions to a omniscient being.

Instant knowledge about anything you want is tempting for sure. But I can definitely imagine circumstances under which such an ability starts making things go terribly, terribly wrong. For example, some things might be better not to know, but a moment's overpowering curiousity and you'd be stuck with the knowledge. It would also be terribly easy for such a person to make themselves, rich, through lottery, stocks whatever, and not everyone can handle sudden riches well. Some lottery winners end up spending themselves into bankruptcy. And how painful would it be to know, for example, when people you love are going to die. All the implications would be interesting to explore in a manga. The themes probably have been already to a certain extent.

I would love to have my own horse, or even just to be able to ride every day if I want. Well, that's not really practical in real life in financial terms. How about for my final essay to be magically written lol? Really though, I would love to be a good and successful writer. Not only that, but to be able to live off my writing. Now there's a dream. roll eyes

I share your sentiments. I want to know everything about everything...all the mechanisms, existence, the universe. It would be great if I could gain that knowledge, but I'm definitely not gonna get it in this lifetime. no
