US Army
An organization created upon the birth of the USA over 230 years ago. It's mission is to defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies; foreign and domestic.
Contrary to popular belief, the modern Army no longer accepts convicts as an alternative to jail. All applicants must hold a high school diploma or a GED at minimum. (98% are HS grads) A College degree is a requisite to becoming an officer, though many enlisted soldiers also hold them.
During an average recruiter's day, 75% of interviewed applicants are rejected.
For over two decades, the US Army has been an all-volunteer one, which means only those who have the desire to serve will do so-- thereby greatly increasing morale and unit survivability through better teamwork.
It is a sad fact that US Army soldiers have been the target of protesters both at home and abroad, most notably being the recent incident of a uniformed soldier being beaten at gunpoint by multiple assailants in the famously liberal city of Seattle, WA. Recruiters have also been targets for demonstrations and violence. Some people are seemingly unaware that the soldiers are just fellow Americans who are sworn to carry out their duty. These protests are misdirected at them.
The US Army today represents the finest our country has to offer. We must remember to show respect for its members; past and present.

Striver
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.
The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.
The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics.

Utility beer
Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
