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?

Lets make biriyani now. Put all the ingredients into a cooker and lit the stove. Minutes later you will open your cooker and find something that is not biriyani. Why? because there is a procedure and timing that we are supposed to follow and we didn't. The same with the student. Put all the students together into a class and start the lecture. Minutes later we notice half the class sleeping. Did we ever ask ourself why even the most brilliant students in the class fail to pay attention most of the times? As students we know what we understand and not. As teachers they know what to teach. When these two are connected, the result is very good. When not, we get the Indian Education System. " Most trends are positive, but my biggest disappointment when it comes to India is the education system. It should be far better. I don't want to be critical, but I do want to create higher expectations about it." - Bill Gates When we look into the secondary school level ed

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
