Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Getting into the right school is less important than having a good college experience. Realize that there are many ways to get an education, build a career, and live one’s life. Expect the possibility that embarking upon the college journey can be stressful and can lead to haphazard decisions.

Answer: A 2014 Gallup-Purdue Index Report from interviews with 30,000 U.S. graduates found that “where graduates went to college ... hardly matters at all to their current well-being and their work lives in comparison to their experiences in college.” A key is to focus on having a good experience, not on getting into the “right” school. Some good experiences include involvement in extracurricular activities and/or having an internship. Ultimately, it's not where you went to school but what you did while there that will have a stronger impact on quality of work after graduation. College can be an important part of that process. However, if it doesn’t go the way you planned, there are many ways to get the education and experience you need. You can obtain an education through mentorships, apprenticeships, internships, and studying abroad. Attending another school affords most of the same benefits as your dream college. While there, you'll still make some great friendships, have the opportunity to get involved in activities for both fun and professional reasons, create memorable experiences, and get a quality education. Don't expect this expedition to be clear-cut and predictable. For most people, going from high school to their desired college to an internship to a fantastic job is more of a dream than a reality. Actually, it's become more common to change majors more than once in a college that wasn't a first choice.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Disconnect from your VPN (if you use one). Disconnect this computer from the Wi-Fi network. Disconnect all other devices from the Wi-Fi network. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into one of your modem’s Ethernet ports. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into your computer’s Ethernet port. Unplug the power cable from your broadband modem. Plug in your broadband modem and turn it back on. Close any open programs that access the Internet. Visit a speed test website in a web browser. Compare the results with your Internet Service Provider's promises.

Answer: VPNs route all of your web traffic through a remote location and are typically used by tech employees who work remotely. If you use a VPN to access the web, disconnect from it to accurately test your broadband speed. If you don’t use a VPN, skip this step.  Mac: Click the VPN Status icon at the top right corner of the screen (a rectangle with several vertical lines inside), then click “Disconnect from [your network].” Windows: Click your network connection in the bottom right corner of the screen, then click “Network Settings” or “Network Connections.” Right-click the VPN connection icon and select “Disconnect.” The most accurate way to test broadband speed is through a wired Ethernet connection directly to the modem. Temporarily turn off your computer’s Wi-Fi feature to make sure it doesn’t automatically connect to an access point.  Mac: Hold down the ⌥ Option key as you click the Wi-Fi symbol at the top right corner of the screen. In the menu, click “Turn Wi-Fi off.”  Windows:  Click the Wi-Fi symbol on the bottom right corner of the screen, then click “Network Settings.” Move the slider at the top to the “Off” position. If other devices are using the Wi-Fi feature of your modem, such as a smartphone or other computer, disconnect it from the Wi-Fi as well. Keeping other devices connected to Wi-Fi could negatively impact the test results. An Ethernet cable is the networking cable that came with your modem. It looks like a thicker telephone cable, is often either blue or yellow, and is sometimes referred to as a “networking cable” or “cat 5 cable.”  Leave the modem unpowered for at least 60 seconds. Some modems will turn on automatically. If you see any lights on the modem, it’s on and powering up. Having other programs open while you do the speed test can skew your results, especially streaming applications and websites like Spotify and YouTube. Two popular options are Fast.com and Speedtest.net.   Fast.com is a new site by Netflix that has one function: to report your download speed. These speeds affect your ability to stream media and download web content. All you need to do to run this test is launch the site in a web browser.  Speedtest.net has been the go-to site for broadband speed testing for a long time. It reports download and upload speeds, as well as ping times. If you broadcast live media from your computer (such as a podcast or video blog) or do a lot of online gaming, you’ll want this extra data. Launch the site and click “Begin Test.” You can also use the speed testing site of your ISP. Verizon, Xfinity and CenturyLink all have their own speed tests. Once the test has completed, the results will appear on the screen. If you're not receiving the download or upload speeds you're paying for, there might be a technical problem or honest mistake that can be corrected. You might also be able to leverage the error for a discount with your ISP.
