_20:16 - Thoughts @ JP’s
I’m starting to find more and more places to connect to the Internet around Holland. Right now I’m at JP’s coffee house and earlier I inhabited the Hope College library.
I can’t really get any work done at home these days with all the construction going on. It’s great that our house if getting put together but creates alot of problems when you’re a really organized person. On the other hand, the construction has given me a real push to find other places of work.
Hope College is a great place to work but is starting to make me miss the whole college scene. I’m not sure if I ever told you before but I’ve always wanted to go to college full time. I don’t really tell many people because I’m supposed to be the hardworking freelancer that does fine w/out college.
So you ask - “Aaron, why don’t you just go to college?” - To be honest I don’t know why. My main reasoning is not having enough money to plunge myself into college with everything I have. The other reason is alittle more confusing.
I’ve spent the past 3 years learning web development and trying to understand what’s going on. By no means am I the best but I’ve come along ways since that day 3 years ago. Now if I go to college and spend my time studying (which I would love) I will not be able to focus as much on the web community and what’s coming down the pipe.
So if I go to college I feel as though I might loose alot of what I have worked so hard to get. Going to college will allow me to learn alot more about what I do but I wonder how connected with everything I will still be.
I’m not one to really listen to people when told what to do with my future but right now I’m opening up and asking you to give me your words. Please be kind but present your point. Pretend you’re telling me what you think over coffee and a great conversation.
So again - Is College the best thing for me? And in your opinion - why?

That is a good question one I have asked myself many of times. And still I donít have an answer. But I do have this. You have to do what is best for you! There is always going to be good and bad. But you need to decide what you really want and what you are willing to risk to get it. And until you are able to make that decision, do what I am doing, take at least one class per semester to keep your feet wet. And one day you will be finished and not thousands in debt. Good luck
