Hey @PeelingOranges I just wanted to jump on and say a big congrats for finishing your exams! 👏 It sounds like you put a lot of effort into doing well and I hope that it all goes smoothly. 

It sounds like you have have been reflecting a lot about achievement, being intrinsically motivated and rewarding yourself for what you have done. Being self-reflective on these topics is really impressive and you should be proud of your ability to understand yourself, your values and what you'd like to do differently. I do think it can be simultaneously true that you should work hard for the sake of working hard while also rewarding yourself for your efforts, as you've said. Your insightfulness on this topic is really valuable and I'm sure lots of people in the community can relate!
