I can't just continue being like this!

well if you cant just talk on the field which fascinates you more towards and keep going for it rather than engineering

This clearly tells that you don't have any passion towards Engineering or in fact any stream in particular. If you had anything like that you would have concentrated on your studies. There is a proverb in English "Where there is a will there is a way". I do hope you know the meaning of this proverb. You know your weaknesses. If you don't wish to over come it yourself, no member of Mylot can ever help you, no matter what they suggest you.

Well , i guess you have to discipline yourself and divide your time according to what is important.Maybe during office hour u work hard and after hours your can reward yourself with entertainment time.Work and play according to schedule and not all play or all work. The difference with successful people and not succesful people is hardworking or work smart and play hard.

Friend you should keep in mind one thing if once time is gone then never came back and one year is important. So try to do the study for paying concentration on study start music and do the study this is best way for me. No mind is go here and there only on study.

Hi GauthamDS7, if you have the heart, you will surely have the way to overcome your current irresponsible feeling which studying. I believe you know best what you want to become in the future, and being diligent to excel in your studies is your responsibility as a student. Nothing comes easy, everything has a price to pay. Even to be an useful person in career in the future, needs to pay a price by sacrificing your being easily distracted, and paying attention to reach your goal as an Engineer or Scientist. All you need is a firm determination that you want to success in your studies to achieve your future dream. There is a saying, "A person who is not smart can be help, but a person who is lazy has not cure." So, be a wise student and study smart while young and having the opportunity to do so. There are many who wants to study, but have couldn't afford the education. So, treasure it and make the best of it. =) All the best to you.

as you say you have things distracting from studying, i guess you are much like lonely guy, so spend more time with friends who concentrate studies a bit going out with friends, will make you forget your distractions. slowly you can concentrate studies. and moreover don't think studying is a work or something, you can enjoy studying too.

You cannot be faulted for Avignon this attitude since you are a student. However,you should also value your education and your time in studying. It would be a waste of time,money and effort if you keep losing your focus on things. you have the ability to make learning a creative and easy for you. You just have to take it.

hmm this is common problem , we get distracted while studying and could not concentrate further. I think its upon you, you need to make up your mind and follow it.

Sounds to me like you need a plan in life. Goals and a plan on doing them might help you. Have a great weekend.

If you really want to pursue you studies, you must have your self discipline. Changes should come from you not from other people. You should stay focus and always think for your goal in mind that you need to be focus on your studies and for the perseverance to fulfill your dreams.

Those things will just sum up to one word, DISCIPLINE. All you have to do is to be focused and disciplined. Having a principled mind is one key to be successful.

Hi, GauthamDS7, I have been there! I encountered the same situation with you. When I was a college student, I did not study hard neither. I was afraid of tests and exams. I felt that I was forced to study before exams because I do not want to fail in any class. I think the main reason to cause this is I do not have interest in it and I do not feel any achievement. So if it is possible for you, maybe you can change your majority to something you interest. Haha, but interest is not always reliable, sometimes our interests changes. So before you made the majority change, make sure that the new one is your true interest, in whole life time. Back to your problem, I also suggest you find out your real problem. Is there anything special to make you feel this way? Do you think you have teenager thought which drive you to make opposite choice? Follow your true feelings.

Hi Gautham. Your situation quite resembles mine. First you need to understand what you want to do in life. Imagine yourself after five years and after twenty years. You might be comfortably living a good life but does the work excite you. Does it satisfy the expectations you now have with life. I did my engineering in Metallurgy. But I had no interest whatsoever in that field. So I decided to do MBA after that. And now I feel like I have found the lost charm that I once had during my childhood days. Studies have become exciting again. And I am pretty sure that this is what I wanted to do. Anyways have a nice day and don't give up.. _SuperShames_
