Doom Bass
The Doom Bass is an urban myth of sorts. For a lack of first hand experience here is a shortened version of the myth:
One day, about 20 years ago, Jimmy, a student in an AP Calculus AB class, tried to convince his teacher that the derivative was just a point on a function. Infuriated, his teacher plotted.
It was a dark and stormy night when it happened. Around 3 AM the sound of the door bell resonated throughout his house and Jimmy walked down stairs. He opened the door and before he even knew what hit him, he was on the ground. Time and time again, his teacher smacked him over the head with a freshly thawed fish. The odor could be smelt from miles away.
The student returned to the class the following day. Although his head was bruised, he had read his textbook and now he knew the definition of the derivative. Appalled at his bruised condition, a fellow classmate asked him "what happened to you." He turned his head slowly and said.."it was the Doom Bass."
Thus the Doom Bass Was born

Striver
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.

SkyPesos
Delta SkyMiles, also known as SkyPesos, is the frequent flyer program of Delta Airlines. It has a very poor value and hard to use.
- 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.
