Inauguritis

The feeling of anticipation for the inauguration of Barack Obama. In preparing for travel to Washington DC, this includes studying news outlets for predictions and traffic updates. Similar to the endorphin rush experienced by supporters during the campaign.

Sally: I'm getting ready for my trip to DC for Barack Obama's inauguration and am having trouble focusing on anything else.
Betty: Sounds like a case of inauguritis.

Presidential Inauguration 2009

The most awesome experience that could possibly be documented by a group of college students hoping to go on a heady road trip. An African-American president was sworn in and about one gozillion people half froze in the streets for hours to support him. There was strugglin', strivin', throbbin', and thrivin', but yeah, everyone was survivin'.

Remember when we went to presidential inauguration 2009 and Barack Obama said "Yes we can!"?

Inauguration Orgasm

1. Obsessing over President Obama's inauguration or over the Prez himself.

2. The act of having one's eyes glued to the T.V. screen while watching the inauguration.

3. Speaking incessively about how great Obama's inauguration was.

"Blaine wouldn't shut up about how great Obama's speech was during the inauguration or what an amazing speaker Obama is. I think he was having an Inauguration Orgasm."

inauguration day

Day were (in 2004) George Bush makes Washington DC pay lots of money just so he can make a speech nobody will remember.

I live in the DC area, I hate to see when the taxes rise so the place can pay off the damn inauguration day.

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. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.

Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
