How I Used Facebook for Assignments?


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?

"If you are good at something, never do it for free" - The Joker.

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?

Tic Tac Amazon

Getting into any department of Amazon can be quite challenging, especially after considering the company's reputation and the competition it has for any role. When the drive happens on campus, the competition would be very limited since all the applicants are the students of the same batch. I'm someone who isn't that great at listening to classes or getting marks. The role offered, requires us to have a good knowledge and understanding of Operating Systems, Computer Networks and Programming. So, how did I crack it? Projects, Mission R&D and proper presentation. Though we have a lot of online tools that would design the resume with appropriate styles, I prefer doing it myself using the word document editor. The centre of attraction on my resume is the projects column cause it is the biggest one with eleven projects on it. No matter whatever role I'm being interviewed for, I've always been asked questions like "How did you find time to do all ...

Successful People don't Limit Themselves to One Thing

Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla sleeps at 1 AM, but still finds time to read and hit the gym. M S Dhoni is one of the most loved Cricket players in India also plays football. Almost every successful person isn't good at only the thing we know but at some other things too. This might seem strange to normal ones because most of us don't even strive to be successful what we are right now. But why multiple things? In order to do anything to its best, you need to commit yourself to it. It might be coding, grades or a startup. Once you commit yourself and you start working, no matter what you do, eat, sleep, drive, play, its the only thing that you will be thinking. You want to switch to do it at the very moment itself. But, we are humans and we cannot keep doing the same thing constantly, no matter how much you love it. You would probably hate to gossip either. It is in these situations that you want to something else. This 'something else' is either y...

How I Understood The Importance of Machine Learning?

I was fascinated with technology ever since I can remember. I was curious and knowing something gives me happiness. After 19 years, I didn't lose that interest. I am now a Computer Science student in second year of B.Tech programme. Unlike other students, I always wanted to do something that differentiates me from the rest. I decided to build applications. In my first semester, I did three, two in the next semester and only one in my third semester. All but the last one were nothing but small games. The last one is a Tic Tac Toe. Tic Tac Toe, popularly knows as Noughts and Crosses. The game is played by two players where one of them takes X and other O. The winner is the player who forms three of their symbol consecutively. The speciality of the game is that, if both the players are careful, none can win. There were already games like these and even this one developed by many people. But, I wanted to build one myself, especially where the second player is played by th...
