Problem: Article: If you're going to choose a college major, you'll need to know your options. Inform yourself about the various majors that you might possibly choose. Read about every major that sounds interesting. Read about specific jobs and how people got them. Explore forums, blogs, and university websites. If you aren't at college yet, research common majors and what people do with them. Once you decide on a few solid choices, look for colleges that are known for strong programs in those fields. If you are already at a college and you don't want to transfer, look at the available majors that are listed on your university website. Question your teachers and academic counselors about careers, majors, and the college industry. Make sure to also speak with people who know you well: your friends, parents, and relatives. These people may be able to give you valuable advice about your strengths and weaknesses. Don't choose a major just because someone tells you to, and make sure that you take every suggestion with a grain of salt but don't be afraid to look for inspiration. Speak with people who have already completed certain majors. Ask for their perspective. Find out what they might do differently. Talk to advisers from your chosen college. You can find a lot of information on the web about different majors. However, it's best to talk to a professional adviser. They can help answer questions about any department that you're considering joining. This varies widely from college to college. Some schools require that you decide upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class. Other schools may variably give you one year, two years, or more to declare. If you are uncertain, try to take your time before committing to a singular focus. If you have the freedom to explore, take the opportunity to sample a wide variety of courses and majors that catch your eye! If you don't have a major or a goal in mind, college can be a very expensive way to find yourself. Think about taking a gap year, working full-time, or fulfilling your general education requirements at a community college before committing to a four-year degree. You can save money and travel the world; you can volunteer or work abroad; you can audit classes for free, or attend school part-time; you can try to join the workforce in a field that sounds interesting, then use that experience to inform your college major decision. Do it your way! Remember that you don't need to go to college right away just because a lot of other people are doing it. Consider whether you are being shepherded into this. Do you know what you want to get out of your college experience? Is it your choice, or is it your parents'?
Summary: Do your research. Ask for advice. Find out how much time you have to declare a major. Consider whether you're ready for college.

Problem: Article: You need something to act as the drum body. If you want a temporary solution because you're making the drum for a small child, use something like a metal soup pot (two handles instead of a one handled saucepan). If you want a drum for an older child or something that your child can have for a longer period of time, you can use PVC pipe or a cardboard shipping tube (both will need to be cut to size). You'll need balloons in a few different sizes, because the opening of your drum body will be different and you don't know what will really make the best sound until you try it. Once you have the balloons, cut off the necks. Stretch the balloon over the opening of the pot or drum body. This will probably be challenging, but don't give up. Try different balloons to get different sounds during this part of the process. Using a strong tape, like duct tape, tape the edges of the balloon to the side of the drum, helping to hold it in place. Make sure there are no air leaks. Enjoy your new drum!
Summary:
Get a soup pot or other drum body. Get and prepare your balloons. Cover the opening. Secure the drum surface with tape. Done!
