It's weird, I'm closer to the opposite. I never get motivated unless it comes deep within myself--if I feel like something is worth my time, be it because to groom my GPA, because it's interesting material, I feel a drive to do it (which sometimes makes me unhappy because it's grueling work). The social interactions at school are great in its own right, but I feel like that bit is decoupled from my work. You know one of those clicker games, like cookie clicker? It's hilariously dumb if you think about it--it's kind a parody of what a video game really is. You click, and then you get a reward, and you use that reward to do the click thing better, faster, and automated. Some people love it because they are really receptive to operant conditioning and self-motivated just to see that number rise (however stupid it may be), and some people feel like they need a deeper reason to play something like that. That was kind of my analogy for the whole shebang.
