Ever since I got into second year, I started submitting my assignments on time. It isn't just that but I was able to complete almost all of them well in advance. I hate assignments, unless they aren't the ones where we copy stuff from one book to another. I don't write them. But, how do I get it done?

Everyone is born with some talent. Its upto you to strengthen and utilise it. Facebook is something that is used by almost everyone reading this. We all use it to make friends, share pictures and lately tag our friends into every irrelevant meme. Facebook helps you to connect with different people out there. I decided to use it to connect to different people who are interested in writing my assignments. In return I do their coding work. I am utilising my skill to do something I love.
No student likes all the subjects and no student likes to write assignments. Sometimes, we might like a subject so we do the assignment. Other subjects are like copy and paste, only a little slower. Anyway, these assignments serve no purpose. So, its upto me to find someone who has a coding assignment in return for my written assignment. Having fluency in three programming languages and one scripting language has helped me in this case.
The first time this worked out was with a friend in other section. It was a girl who loved math. I had a math assignment and she had a Java assignment. We decided to exchange our assignments. We did and because we loved what we were doing, the end products were beautiful. I received a fifty page assignment and she received a pink application. Both of us submitted our assignments and got full marks yet we only did what we loved.
That was my eye opener. I knew that this would work and took advantage of the partiality that students had on subjects. Finding someone from my own college is fairly simple. But someones, it is difficult to find someone who requires the skill you have. A student of your age from other colleges might match our needs mutually. We all admit that we don't have all our friends contact numbers. Some are just in messenger. Considering this, I started finding people on Facebook. In the beginning it wasn't easy at all and sometimes, I had to write my assignment myself. Later, when I tried searching through my friends' friend's list, I found a few.
How successful was I? The last semester, every assignment except one was just writing code. The fact that our college has certain subjects a semester ahead of other colleges helped me to do this. This is problem solving. I understood the situation, found the drawback and gave the solution. I loved coding and I did it in exchange for something I didn't like. Usually, when you need to get something done, you have to lend something valuable. But, I lend out something that I didn't like. Isn't that a smart solution?
