Assignment 

Share definition Flag
Something that is relatively important, but you will still leave it till the last minute and complete it the night before it's due in, armed with dangerous amounts of caffeine and sweets, in a major panic. However, you will still feel cheated if you don't get an awesome grade, although you may pretend to be fine with it.

They usually have word limits, which are a total bitch to adhere to - if it isn't too short it'll be miles too long.

They will produce much bitching and complaining and procrastinating (bubbleshooter.net is a particularly good tool for this).

The one positive thing about them perhaps, is the sheer feeling of relief that occurs when the last word is typed and all word counts are adhered to. Who cares if it makes sense or answers the question?! It's finished. The only feeling quite like it is that wonderful feeling that occurs when you finally go to the toilet after being desperate for ages.
1. "OH SHIT! MY 2000 WORD ESSAY IS IN TOMORROW AND I HAVEN'T EVEN LOOKED AT IT YET! OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT WHERE IS THE COFFEE PEOPLE?!"

2. "This assignment is a total bitch! I mean seriously, what the hell?! It's not even useful!"

3. "I deserved a better grade than THAT!!!"

4. I am procrastinating right now, as I have a 1500 word assignment due in in about 10 hours, and I've only written 250 words. I have a massive mug of coffee at the ready!

Assignment Dancing

The little dance a student performs whilst doing an assignment. This is usually associated with assignments that the student does not wish to do but has to, or assignments being completed whilst listening to music; or both.

The dance often contains little head bobs and elbow movements.

Striver 

Share definition Flag
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
