Rewards
In class today we were talking about intrinsic and extrinsic rewards and i realized that almost everything i do has extrinsic rewards. I go to work for the money, i go to school for the grades, i do or say certain things so i won't get in trouble of things like that. I don't want to go to work, usually go to school, do school work, or say certain things, but its something i do because i like the reward out of it. The only thing that is more intrinsic would be hanging out with my boyfriend of friends. i don't get rewarded for hanging out with them, i just do it because i like to. I almost feel as if i should do more intrinsic things, but then i think; "what would i get out of that"

I agree with you! i would not go to work if i did not get paid. You see all these people around that want raises at work because they do their job well, but if they dont get that raise then they will go out and look for another job to get paid more. were on the other hand i hang out with my boyfriend just because i love his presents in my life. I never thought about it in school though, but i guess your right, i also go to school only for the grades.
