Emogelical

Share definition Flag
White evangelical Christian males, under the age of 40, who wear skinny jeans, attend Q Conferences, and think there's a 72% chance that gays are going to hell. They care a lot about poor people, from a distance. They get Seth Godin's daily email and they like to debate about atonement theology, even though they don't quite understand it. Hair is very important. They are known to create drama in the College and Young Career groups at mega-churches for breaking up with their girlfriends because "the Lord just wants me to be single for a while, so that I can really give him all the glory," and they say that they've "kissed dating goodbye." When they start dating someone else in the College and Young Career group the next week, they say, "the Lord just really laid it on my heart that I need to start courting again." Emogelicals often take online seminary classes and work as baristas.

The perfect balance of being both emotional and logical.

It's important to find balance within oneself. Don't be overly emotional, don't be too cold and logic based. One must learn to be emogical. Seek balance between the two.

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
