What gets you going? Finding your motivation

If you were offered a prize of a jar of Marmite for the best essay, some of you might say ‘yum’ while others will say ‘yuck’! We all have different tastes, and so too we are all motivated by different things. When you look at the diversity of students at university and what they get up to, it becomes pretty clear that people have a whole range of motivations for being there. There are those who are career-driven, those who are passionate about their studies, those who are looking for a good time, those looking to experience a new country and those who thought this was the safest thing to do for now. And so, too, when it comes down to feeling motivated in what you want to get done, what will make one person tick will be quite different to another.
