Belvidere, IL 

Belvidere is a historical town located in Northern Illinois. Called "The City of Murals" it features several beautiful murals painted by the community, including students. The education is very good, and the community is quite friendly, filled with respectable people. The crime rate is very low. During January, you can expect half a foot of snow and temperatures less than 20 degrees Fahrenheit. In the summer, the temperature can reach up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, several events are hosted during the summer, including the ever-popular Boone Country Fair. With ticket prices ranging from $5-$8. The food is decent, the exhibitions and events eye-catching, and the teens and kids love the rides! Some of the merchandise is quality too. Also, during the summer, you can find the Wienie Wagon and the Corn Truck around town. The hot dogs are delicious, and the corn fresh from the fields. In the fall, The Fall Didley takes place. Generally a craft show, it also hosts schools fundraising at various booths.

The town could use a bit of cleaning up, and the roads could be paved again although. Alcohol and drugs do have a presence too. Car accidents happen often. Generally a safe place, the bars on the windows are unnecessary.

Belvidere, IL 

Belvidere is a good sized town with a lot of mexicans. It has become more ghetto because it is right next to Rockford and not too far from Chicago. Rockford was recently rated #9 worst city in the USA. Belvidere is only 10 miles away from Rockford. More people should more here so there will be more crime.

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

- I'm trying to book an award flight to Paris, but I only have 70,000 SkyPesos
- Just forget about it, you don't have enough SkyPesos to fly anywhere.

1. Billy hate drafted Chad OchoCinco because he knew Sam had wanted him since he is from Cincinnati. Billy already had plenty of players to fill that position but wanted to make sure Sam didn't get him.

2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.
