Your addiction is driven by the want of attention. You should socialize instead of checking your mobile phone. You must also use the phone only at designated times and at other times keep it off in your room. You do not need your phone for anything urgent being a student. The obsession and compulsive use of the instrument will destroy time and opportunity. You need to exercise regularly, sleep well, eat well, and be emotionally stable. I suggest you meet with a counselor to further occupy yourself.
