Get the Self Vandalism mug.An adjective used to describe a bro who has become aware of the fact that he is a bro. An amalgamation of "self-aware" and "bro."
This state of mind regularly coincides with the bro realizing that certain aspects of bro-culture are somewhat undesirable or offensive to most of the general populous. As such, many of those aspects, such extreme-aggressiveness, a super-inflated ego, throwing greek shit in everyone's face, and general douchiness are typically lessened or even absent when "self-browareness" is achieved.
While these negative traits are often lessened, most of the bro-qualities that do not directly impact other people remain. Partying, substance-use, excessive pink-polos, anything rugby or lacrosse, and a female-level of attention to one's own appearance are all bro-characteristics that remain largely unchanged when becoming "self-broware."

Get the Self-broware mug.In layman's terms, self-actualization is when you have reaped the maximum potential out of your personal talents, abilities, creativities and ambitions. Self-actualization only happens when all your lower primal needs have been met (e.g. physiological needs, emotional needs).
While self-actualization initially paints a pretty picture inside your head, do not be fooled as the journey is actually quite excruciating. In order to become fully self-actualized you'd have to push yourself to the limits. You'd have to devote yourself solely towards your ambitions and talents, no slacking or fun and games. The world's biggest entrepreneurs such as Steve Jobs were 100% self-actualized, but boy they were under a lot of stress and often overworked to the core.
In summary, self-actualization is a very good thing, but it's not for the weak-minded.

Me in first year psych: *after learning about the concept* Wow I want to achieve self-actualization!!!
Me in my fourth year: *suddenly realizes that self-actualization takes hard work and pure dedication* Ehh I think I'll just live a chill life
