do you ever wonder what your life would be like without the Atlas Forum?

[Jake]

I don't view it as any more of an addiction than anything else I like to do.

I do know I'd have probably an hours worth of additional time to fill each weekday when I already have extra time. I don't ever spend time here that I want to spend productively elsewhere; ie, I don't sit on the forum rather than partying, playing football, or anything. I just waste those excess hours on here. My life would be pretty different though. The Atlas taught me to type well and quickly and taught me the ability to form a logical argument. In that way the time I've spent here has kind of been like taking a class, albeit one that's consumed approximately 2 hours of every day for the past 50 months.
