INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Know what you will do with your future life. If what you want to do in your future is work at a fast food restaurant you may or may not go to college. But if you plan on being a professional such as an attorney, you have to go to college -- and many professions require a graduate degree beyond the associate (two years) or bachelor's (four years).

SUMMARY: Plan, whether it is to go to a university or to jump straight into work you need to make a plan.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Lie down on a fitness mat. Lie with your back flat on the ground, legs together and knees bent. Keep in mind that this movement is not recommended for anyone who has ever had a back problem. This movement can be made easier by placing your hands and arms lower on your body (crossing arms in front of your chest) or harder, by placing your hands and arms past your head (arms extended above your head). With your knees remaining bent, turn at your waist and bring both of your legs to one side of your body, down to the floor. Your legs should be lying on top of each other. As you bring your legs down to the floor, keep your shoulder blades and the upper part of your back flat on the floor. Place your hands behind or at the sides of your head. Flex your abdominal muscles, and lift your shoulders off the floor. Be sure to keep your shoulders straight and level just as you would for a normal crunch. Hold the position for a moment, then release your constricted abdominal muscles to slowly bring your shoulders back down to the mat. Do not pull at your head and neck to complete the crunch. Your hands are merely resting near your head as you contract your abdominal muscles to lift yourself up and crunch. Once you have completed one set of crunches on one side of your body (about 1015 reps), turn your legs over to do the crunches on other side of your body. It's recommended to do this exercise 13 sets on each side, 23 times a week.

SUMMARY: Lie down on the floor. Turn your legs to one side. Crunch to your side. Complete your crunches on the other side of your body.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This may help relieve your constipation without the use of laxatives. To rehydrate, drink at least 10 to 12 cups (2.4 to 2.8L) of water daily. Additionally, try warm liquids like tea or warm water with lemon. To get more fiber, eat whole grains, vegetables, and fruit with the skin still on it. Prunes and bran cereal are especially high in fiber. Men should aim for 30-38 grams of fiber per day, while women should try to eat at least 21-25 grams of fiber per day. While aloe vera is considered safe, it can cause serious complications if you take too much. Taking more than a gram, especially if you do it more than 1 day in a row, may damage your kidneys. Always measure out your aloe vera and take it as directed. If you're taking a capsule, follow the directions on the label. When using the juice or gel, prepare your aloe vera drink exactly as directed. Not everyone should use aloe as a laxative. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid using aloe as a laxative. Children and individuals with diabetes, hemorrhoids, kidney problems, and intestinal conditions like Crohn's disease should also avoid aloe as a laxative. Similarly, it isn't a safe option for anyone with an allergy to onions, garlic, or tulips.

SUMMARY: Try rehydrating and eating fiber before using a laxative. Don't consume more than 1 gram of aloe vera in 1 day. Avoid taking aloe vera if you have certain medical conditions.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're trying to repair a malfunctioning external hard drive or flash drive, plug it into one of your computer's USB ports. Skip this step if you're attempting to fix a built-in hard drive. You may need a USB 3 to USB-C adapter if your Mac doesn't have traditional USB ports. It's a menu item at the top of your Mac's screen. A drop-down menu will appear. If you don't see Go at the top of the screen, click the Finder app icon in your Mac's dock (or click the desktop) to force it to appear. You'll find this option near the bottom of the drop-down menu. Double-click the Disk Utility app icon, which resembles a grey hard drive with a stethoscope on it. In the upper-left corner of the window, click the hard drive that you want to fix. It's an image of a stethoscope at the top of the Disk Utility window. Doing so will prompt Disk Utility to begin scanning (and repairing) your selected hard drive's bad sectors. Once the Disk Utility finishes repairing your drive, you should see a pop-up explaining what was repaired. If you don't see any repairs listed, your hard drive doesn't have any bad sectors to repair. For each time that a repair (or series of repairs) is listed, run Disk Utility again to scan for further issues. Once Disk Utility no longer reports repairs upon completing the scan, your Mac's hard drive is fixed.

SUMMARY:
Connect the drive to your computer if necessary. Click Go. Click Utilities. Open Disk Utility. Select a hard drive. Click the First Aid tab. Click Run when prompted. Wait for the repairs to complete. Run Disk Utility again.
