In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: 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.
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.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Experiencing a sexual assault or rape is a huge loss of control, and your friend needs to be able to feel in control while they are healing. Try not to make decisions for them or take charge, but rather allow them to do it for themselves. Encourage them and then support them with whatever they decide. If the rape did not occur recently, there may still be some situations or things that your friend feels very particular about. It will help their anxiety and sense of self for you to let them control certain aspects of their environment to make sure they are comfortable. Let them control who knows. Your friend confided in you because they trust you, respect that trust and allow them to control who they tell. Let them control what you guys do when you are hanging out together, especially where you go. It is the one way to ensure they are going to be comfortable. Let them decide when they are ready to participate in activities, everything from social activities to support groups or counseling. It is a horrible thing to happen to someone, and they are going to need you for support. One way you can help support them is to make sure they are taking a mental break from it every once and awhile, if they can. Remind them that you are there to listen, but mention that maybe you can help distract them for a little bit. Afterwards, remind them that you are still available to talk if they want to. Talk to them about it as often as you can and as often as they need. For a short distraction, maybe offer to play a card game, watch a movie, or go get coffee or ice cream, if they are comfortable with it. In all of the worrying and helping your friend, don't forget about your own health. Hearing about a rape can be very upsetting. Being around someone who is going through a healing process from a traumatic event, can have a profound affect on you as well. Know that you need to take care of yourself so that you are able to help your friend. Try the following: Make sure you are eating and sleeping well. You will need to recharge your batteries in order to keep up with your life and with helping your friend. Make sure you are taking breaks for yourself. Hopefully your friend has others supporting them, so that you all can share in the tasks and take breaks when you need to. If you are feeling emotional, start to notice you are having nightmares, or seem to be having similar symptoms to your friend, seek help from a counselor. You may be experiencing vicarious trauma. Recovery from any traumatic experience takes time and can take many years. In this instance your friend went through something very violating. It may take time for them to trust, to be okay with going out, or to "return to normal" again. Give them the space and time they need to rebuild their sense of safety, control and self-worth. If the rape occurred long ago, understand that there are aspects that your friend may still be dealing with. Either way, they will be so grateful to have a friend like you supporting them.
Summary: Let them be in control. Focus on it as much as they want to. Take care of yourself. Be patient.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Pick something that you know best, or learn about something new and tell the world what you have learned. Determine what kind of educational video you want to make: Will this be a "how-to" video, or will you be providing in-depth information on a particular topic? Will there be interactive activities, or will you be talking throughout the video? Make an outline of how you want your video to proceed before you start filming. Adequate preparation for your educational video is key. Many people (especially those who are camera-shy) are more comfortable speaking in front of a camera once they have rehearsed what they want to say. Make sure you have your facts correct. Before making an educational video, double-check to make sure that the information you will be providing is correct. You don't know how many people will watch this video! The key to creating an educational video in which you seem like an expert is to be confidence in your message. The best way to gain this confidence is through repetition. Practice in front of a mirror. Doing a run-through of your script with no one around to judge it can be a good way to iron out kinks and gain confidence. Practice with a friend, and have her give you feedback. It may be beneficial to have another person listen to your script before you film it and publish it. If possible, practice speaking from memory without the assistance of notes. Think about the message you are trying to convey, and locate any props that will make this message clearer and your video more stimulating. Watch other educational videos to see if and how they effectively use props. While it is important not to directly copy any other video, you may be inspired by what you see on other videos. Remember that a prop can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. There are no specific guidelines to creating your own educational video! The props that you use in your video will be unique to the topic you are presenting. Remember that speaking in front of a camera can feel a lot different from speaking in front of your mirror. The more practice you can get, the better your video will be. Film your dress rehearsal if possible. This will allow you to watch it over, review your performance, and identify any mistakes you may have made. Ask a trusted friend to watch your video and provide critiques. A neutral third party may be able to better identify errors or potential distractions in your video.
Summary:
Identify your topic of interest. Prepare a script. Practice your script. Get any props you may need. Do a dress rehearsal.
