What's a good mobile phone plan for a study abroad student?

What should I do in such a situation?

  • I have completely messed my class 11th IITJEE syllabus. In beginning of class 12th I set myself on track but now I am again heading nowhere. Everyday I plan to finish something but end up wasting all time on whats app/Facebook/TV series/movies. I also love a girl a lot and want to have a relationship but since she is not interested that too is heading nowhere. Since childhood I was 90%+ student in my class(10 cgpa in 10th and 800 rank in FTRE 10TH) but due to constant failure in class 11 and my ignorance to study I m average student now. today my dad even told me I m spoiled and even if I try will not achieve anything and am wasting his money. I wake all night to study but within an hour or two get bored and returns to old routine (fb/movie etc). At this level I am sure I cannot even clear aieee. All family members and 'dur wale ristedars' thinks I will come within 1000 in single attempt. But the truth is far beyond.. I have so far made many iit prep plans and tore in pieces because I was not able to abide by it. I am very low at confidence level and due to all this failure my passion somewhere has also died as my heart has compromised somewhere I can do nothing. But I want to. I want to give myself a new start but am afraid that this will also die soon. I want to be successful. That's why I need a detailed study plan for myself building from scratch as my plans have so far been unsuccessful. Please help.. I m enrolled in Fiitjee/schooling candidate/JEE 2015 aspirant. I also don't have a studious friend circle . I have such friend but they don't give importance to me as I m not any good in studies. I desperately need a plan and tips which will make my life easy and successful. Also mention should I think about making girlfriend at this stage. Thanks in advance for patiently going through the question. Note- I have given every details I can but you can answer specific part ..

Dude, trust me, you have all the time on this earth to spend on Fb / Whatsapp once you clear JEE and get into an IIT.  Try to concentrate on the acads. There will sure be times when you feel lost and you see yourself going nowhere. Every student goes through this sometime or the other during his preparation. Don't lose hope. Plan and try to stick to it. Try and finish off the backlogs during the weekend. And please uninstall Whatsapp. It sure is not helping you and you definitely seem to understand that. Don't get disheartened by the marks you score in FIITJEE exams. You will definitely score better than that in your JEE. And coming to the girl friend part, I know people who did well in both acads and social life but if you feel that it's not getting you anywhere I would suggest you give it a break and pursue it once you are done with your exams. You have one whole year to set things right and get back on track.This is THE most important year in your life. Make sure you keep telling this to yourself once in a while. Cheer up! All the very best for your exams :)

Piece of advice: Forget about char log Get over your past achievements, live in your present and work for your future All this you are going through will be over eventually, even if you study hard or not. But when it gets over you should accept the results. So, if you want good results then work hard so that you've no regrets in the end I think the only problem you're facing is of commitment. If you cannot commit for your own good then how can a girl or anyone for that matter trust you with theirs. Relax, you're just starting your life. Stay focused and enjoy what world brings you. Good luck.

First of all focus what you want I am an IITian and i barely know anyone who had Girl Friend and selected in IIT .. look it takes Dedication to Get into IIT and If whats app n Facebook is strong enough to Distract you wont get into an IIT..  there's a lot of time left for prepration still .. so i would suggest to stay calm focus on your goals ... show anyone who questioned you that you have What it takes to be an Iitian ......Its not bad to have a GF but it will distract you ............At the end i can continue writing but you got to make choice .......... and sometime if you feel depressed or something just go to sleep or do something you like .....its pretty common ... it Happens when you are trying so hard for something

uninstall whatsapp and deactivate facebook. uninstall whatever messenger you have in your phone. half your problems are solved. they are mind wasting apps. reactivate after jee. seriously. and believe me, when you look back at life you dont want to regret not achieving much because of a silly infatuation or crush. they come and go, and get you nowhere. infact, if you let them distract you you'll start daydreaming and waste more time, which, i presume you're already doing. divert your mind to something more constructive every time you think of her. yes, its hard, but do it for your own good. please sleep early. staying fresh in class is half work done. make good notes, and for gods sake, talk to the toppers in your batch! i was a silly introvert who kept to myself and never made many friends. you have no idea what an impact good company has on your academics. one year is a long time. jee can be easily cracked if you dont lose focus. make good use of yourself now. THERE IS NO BETTER TIME. or next year you'll be contemplating whether you should go for a drop or not. very uncool. you've got the advice you need. you have no excuse now. man up. - a dropper.

Alright. I thought of writing a long detailed answer but now I think I shouldn't. I am afraid you will either forget it or may get bored enough, while reading it, to switch to movies or whatsapp. Past is a history and you are not a Historian. Today is a gift and that's we call it as Present. So there is no point of repenting. And you believe that whatever you are right now because of the misdeeds of your past, certainly you will be in future something as a result of your present. So lets focus on present.  Read this following poster from zenpencils and we will get back to solutions. I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul. So anything that happens to you, you are the one who is responsible. Either you can blame for all the wrong things that happen to you till now. Or lets be more responsible and become what you always wanted to be. Do you want to be successful ? Lets be responsible first. Then please do the following immediately as you read it. 1. Take your sim card out and crush it. After twenty years, you are not going to regret or even remember this event. 2. Close your facebook account. You may use Block Site add on for chrome to block it. 3. Devote at least half an hour every day either for Exercise/Morning walk/ Yoga(Sun Salutation in particular) and Meditation. 4. Eat fruits and avoid junk food. 5. Don't make any study plan. Instead make quantified plans that you have to do 20 questions everyday. 20 decent questions from each subject. Please solve them. Make sure they are not formula based. If you have difficulty finding such questions, please go to your teachers at FIITJEE and ask them to help you getting out of this shit by helping you doing problems which are important. And remember the following poster So treat these 20 questions from each subject as a part of your training. I can only show you the road, its you who have to walk.  And last but not the least : You wanna be successful ? Just do it EVERY DAMN DAY. EVERY DAMN DAY. No matter if its Sunday or Christmas. You gotta do it every damn day. Hope it helps. Keep me updated in my inbox with your progress. Wish you all the best for your "present" endeavors.

Hi! Just to add to 's answer - I've always looked at JEE as more of an "elimination" exam, than a "selection' exam. The exam is structured to eliminate the mediocre, rather than select the best. So your performance in the exam mainly depends on how well you handle stress. I know many of my batchmates who were more "brilliant" than me, but did poorly in the JEE just because they weren't able to handle the stress. If you ask me how to clear JEE, I'd say "Keep your distractions to a minimum, but ensure that you still remain in your comfort zone." Always stay calm. Academically, I was in a similar situation as you after 11th. Here are a few things I did that helped me - I was a gaming freak back then. I used to play on my computer for 3-4 hours a day. There was one instance when I did poorly in a class test, on a topic that I was very good at. I was taken aback by this. My confidence was low. But luckily, I had a math professor, who always used to give examples from his life on how he used to stay calm in certain situations. For one hour every week, he used to tell us his past experiences. I was impressed by the simplicity which he would solve every problem that he was faced with. This I think helped me stay calm in this situation. Instead of worrying about it, I tried to find a solution to it. The same evening, I went back home and deleted every single game on my computer. I even deleted the setup files. This worked for a week, but after that I started feeling "the urge to game" again. So this time, I decided that instead of sitting in my room and playing on my computer, I'll go play with my friends in my neighborhood. Every weekend, we used to play cricket/football/badminton for 3-4 hours. This actually did wonders for me. I saved a lot of time during the week, and I also remained in touch with my friends. So for you I suggest instead of staying on FB/Whatsapp for hours daily, go and meet your friends during weekends. Spend 3-4 hours with them. You'll still be in touch, but you won't be wasting a lot of time. About society, the image says it all. Apart from my parents and a few close friends, I do not care about what others think. They need to be in my shoes to understand why I do what I do. Once you have confidence in yourself, your friends will automatically join you in discussions. But do not expect them to sympathize with you. They will not help you in clearing backlogs. You'll have to do that yourselves on weekends. If you have doubts, meet the professor personally and seek their help. I completely disagree with a few people here who are saying that girlfriends are a distraction. I can confidently say that my JEE results would have been worse, if not for my then-girlfriend. She's made my life a better one. She always ensured that I stay calm. She always made me discuss my troubles(however small and silly) with her, so that she could solve it. That's why I keep saying its important to remain in your comfort zone. When we used to stay up late to study, she used to talk to me regularly, ensuring that we do not sleep. She would often study the same chapter as what I was, so that we could discuss. I always used to wake up early everyday, just so that I could reply immediately when she sent a "good morning" message. We would always talk for a while after getting up, just to ensure that we do not go back to sleep again. So, yeah, if not for her, I wouldn't have been the person I am today. But I will not generalize this. It all depends on the kind of person she is, and the sort of relationship you will enjoy. As you can see, even a good friend can help you out in such situations. You really do not need her to be your girlfriend. Remember, you also need to consider how this relationship would affect her life. This is where I went wrong. About making plans, I have tried and tested this a lot. Do not try to make detailed weekly/monthly plans. There are a lot of variables which you cannot account for. Just make brief weekly plans, like say the chapters that you want to finish this week. Then keeping this as reference, make very detailed daily plans, to the hour. Make this plan when you wake up. Keep it realistic, because at the end of the day, you'll be following it. In the beginning, keep your study hours low and concentrate on following the plan. This will bring your confidence back. Then work on increasing your study hours. Remember to take regular breaks in between. I would recommend a 15-min break for every two hours. All the best for your preparation. Stay in touch, and do let me know if these tips helped you.
