The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

Share definition Flag
One of the saddest and most iconic Holocaust movies, along with Schindler's List.

Dad's job is a sin
And they move from Berlin
The the place is a bore
So boy goes to explore
And he finds something new
Because he then meets a Jew
And the Jew is on a side
Where it's a hell of a ride
They become friends
Till the very end
But the boy never finds
What is truly behind
Then the Jew becomes sad
Because he's missing his dad
So the fence is passed
And then they get gassed
Oh my gosh, I just watched The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, poor Schmuel and Bruno...

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
