ATS Syndrome 

Share definition Flag
"Addicted to Socializing", a syndrome characterized by physical and psychological dependence on socializing. Those suffering with ATS symdrome often describe a compulsive urge to frequent bars, sleep in strange places, exchange phone numbers with strangers, utilize party tricks and costumes to gain attention, and hold hands with cab drivers. Use of the phrase "bad ideas make the best stories" is often used to rationalize behavior.

Socializing initially produces feelings of euphoria and dissassociation with reality, but in severe uncontrolled cases can result in a pissed off boss, excessive spending, weight gain, chronic fatigue, wearing of the same clothes for multiple days, loss of valuables, and general neglect of repsonsibilities.

The syndrome is frequently exacerbated by the consumption of alcohol and is often seen in conjuction with Beerexia.

First recognized by Dr. Cooke of Sheffield, UK (self- diagnosis).
I'm late for work, unshowered, and smelling like booze, because I have ATS Syndrome and I never made it home last night.

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
