Hero-Syndrome 

Share definition Flag
The inability to escape the mindset that the popular music game Guitar Hero or other such music games creates. Sufferers of Hero-Syndrome will find it impossible to listen to songs not included in the game without imagining them being in the game, playing along with a phantom guitar controller or in more extreme cases dreaming about songs accompanied by scrolling frets and chords.
"Dude, what are you doing?!? Why are you playing air guitar to the Neighbours theme tune?"

Hero Syndrome

Share definition Flag
A person who feels the need to be a hero in every situation. People with hero syndrome try to save other people by defending them from backbiters and bullies instead of villains. They will try to resolve situations for others. However, more often than not, they put themselves in trouble. Funnily, they never learn their lesson and return to getting involved in things that don't concern them.
Bruce: I am sorry for the things that I said to your ex-girlfriend. I just wanted to protect you from all the ridiculous gossip she was spreading about you.

Ryan: It's alright, man. You just have hero syndrome; you can't help it. Just don't say anything next time.

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
