People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support you answer.
The general public enroll in college or universities because of various reasons. The major reasons regarding this are better career opportunities, deeper comprehension on specific topics, and skill enhancement, which will now be discussed.
One of the elements as to why people attend college might be because of better career opportunities. College graduates have more job choices than those who did not attend universities after high school. In my country, more jobs are offered for people with a degree. Last Sunday's classified ads in the newspaper provided at least 70 percent of jobs to college grads. Although there are some work given to high school graduates, their jobs tend to earn lower salaries. Furthermore, people who finish college become professionals who are highly needed in the society today.
Another primary reason people go to college is their desire to get more knowledge. More extensive topics and discussions are learned in College. In my experience on the subject of Chemistry, the college classes provided more information and topics were more detailed than when I was in high school. Rather than just talking about elements, my college taught me about organic and inorganic chemistry, molecular bonds, and many more. The same goes to Microbiology and Physics. Topics were more detailed thus giving me more information.
One other cause of people's desire to attend universities is skill enhancement. Nursing colleges provide students with 'on-job-trainings' as part of their course. During my third and fourth years in college, the nursing department allowed us students to train in the hospitals like administering medications to patients with the assistance of nurses. Students in the Hotels and Restaurant Management courses have subjects that allow them to be a manager-for-a day in small diners and hotels. Skills with regards to prospected careers are thus better enhanced in college.
In conclusion, concerning my first point, there are more jobs offered to those who finish a degree in college. As for my second, further knowledge is deepened in college subjects. And finally, with regards to my last position, a person's skills improves during college.

Conclusions from the 2014 F1 Australian Grand Prix
1. The distinct noise is gone. And I don't like it.
The sound of this year's six-cylinder engine can be likened to that of a vacuum cleaner. I read once that Formula isn't just about the speed, it's about the noise. The rule changes robbed us fans from that. I hope they do something about it because I felt sleepy because of the sound.
2. Mercedes are way, way ahead.
The silver arrows are at least a full second ahead of any team. During the race, Nico ran away quietly ahead of the pack. If Lewis did not retire, we might at least had a battle for the lead. In any case, the Merc was really fast.
3. Felipe has something to smile about.
Even if he was put out of the race by Kamui's Caterham on the first corner of the race, the other Williams Martini car of Valteri Bottas showed tremendous pace finishing 6th even if he had an accident that caused the appearance of the safety car. That should be a positive for Massa knowing that he has a car underneath him that can put him on top of the podium.
4. Ferrari is still a slow car.
Much to the dismay of Ferrari and fellow Alonso fans, Ferrari is still pretty much like a turtle. They had some electronic issue during the race. Plus the two world champions were fighting with midfield cars! Which may imply that Ferrari's pace is of midfielders. Kimi tousling with Vergne? And Alonso wtih Hulkenburg? They could be only the fifth fastest car. Mercedes are the fastest followed by Williams, Mclaren, and possibly Redbull.
5. Mclaren are back.
People forgot quickly how dreadful Ron Dennis' team was last year. They hadn't had a single podium in 2013. And quickly they already have 2 podiums plus they lead the constructor's championship. Incredible!
6. Magnussen who?
Magnussen. I predict we are going to hear that name for a long time getting on the podiums, probably winning a race or two. What a fantastic drive for the rookie! With Daniel's Redbull disqualified from the race, Kevin inherits second place bettering Lewis Hamilton's race debut result in 2007.
7. Tyres not much of a factor.
Reliability and engine power dictated the season opener. Mercedes powered cars clearly dominating the field. Tyre degradation didn't quite have a massive effect unlike what we used to last season.
8. Redbull caught cheating.
Dream debut for the Redbull of Daniel Ricciardo became a nightmare. Much to the delight of the Aussies during the race, Ricciardo drove impressively well through the field only to find out five hours after that he had been disqualified because his team did something illegal with the fuel flow system of his car.
9. Quiet race unlike any other.
Sorry I had to repeat this. I really don't like the sound of the engines. It is too quiet. What makes Formula 1 distinct from other racing sports and cars is that lovely high-pitched sound of the V8's or V10's. It is gone now. Yes, yes, the engines are now more environment-friendly, but THE SOUND!!! It is gone!
10. Malaysia next.
I predict a Lewis resurgence and a Williams accompanying the two Mercs on the podium.

Who were you thinking of while reading this?
"Sometimes you meet someone, and it’s so clear that the two of you, on some level belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or you’re in love or you’re partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I don’t know if that makes me believe in coincidence, or fate, or sheer blind luck, but it definitely makes me believe in something."
