Sargent is the ultimate state of being. It is the pinnacle of class, the highest of ambition and aspiration, the most sophisticated culinary, culture, arts and interior design taste. It is the appreciation of and participation in the finer things in the life, and an alert aversion and intense dislike of opposing ways of life, such as laziness, money-scrounging behaviours, lack of ambition, self-pity, immaturity, narcissism and victim complexes. It is a perpetuation of confidence without being arrogant, the acknowledgment of respect and inclusion without virtue-signalling and while staying realistic. It is the embodiment of life as an opportunity and a one time chance to excel, and the reminder that some people were simply born for the finer things in life.

Look at Ava drinking Dom Perignon on her balcony. She’s so Sargent.

Max stayed up all night gaming again and still doesn’t have a job? Well that’s not very Sargent, is it Linda?

Sargent Johnson

The most kick ass character in Halo 2.

Sargent Johnson: "Men, here's where we show those split-chinned, squid head, sons of bitches that they could have not picked a worse eneny than the human race. We are going to blow the hell out of those dumb mugs until we don't have anything else to shoot 'em with! AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO STRANGLE THEM WITH THERE OWN-LIVING-GUTS! ...AM I RIGHT MARINES?!
Marines: SIR, YES, SIR!
Sargent Johnson: Mhhhm. Damn right I am. Now move it out. Double time!

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
