hahaha I'm right in this kind of situation well from the beginning of my engg.
actually I did a beginner multimedia course in an institute in my 12th holidays, so always interested in design/general tech stuff and wanted to take compsci in engg but got only mech (since my coll had 8th national ranking
I joined, after I joined it went to 12th place hehehe)
imagine my plight.. I was in Mechanical Engineering lol... I hated those engineering drawing sessions It sucked like hell... we mech ppl have an advanced subject in that call 'machine drawing' which was too terrible... I literally begged my lecturer to allow me to submit projects using CAD software (for the fellow mech dudes - CATIA) instead of mundane and booring drawing using the drafter
and finally submitted all assignments as CAD models...
phew!! all for getting these two letters after one's name BE
which BTW lakhs of ppl have anyway (finally me too hehehehe)
andd plzzz dont make me remember laplace fourier transforms... its is the worst subject.. ok environmental engg comes first
.... I had a backlog in maths-3
salla cleared it only in the 5th attempt
ok ok enough offtopic
actually there is no clearcut solution to this problem... a good analogy is if we suddenly become invisible we would be just roaming streets doing stupid stuff and fooling around... so it takes a good amount of self-will to do something productive in these situations....
we are much better man.. ppl in korea have rehabilitation camps for computer/internet addicts
