Juris 

Share definition Flag
-noun

1) Means law in Latin. As in jurisdiction, jury, and juris doctorate, etc.

2) A male name of Latvian origin. In general Juris’ tend to be ridiculously hot, flirtatious, self-centered, manipulative, intelligent, funny, ego-maniacs with an inferiority complex. They party like rock-stars and make bad choices in their youth and find it very hard to grow up. They use their good looks and natural charm to manipulate women and get their way in adverse situations. They make lousy boyfriends and tend to break up with you via text message if they notify you at all of the breakup, but wonderful husbands and fathers if you are lucky enough to tame one. Be wary, they use their bad-boyfriend image to attract more than their allotment of women, and have been known to date your friends and your friendsfriends, leaving a trail of broken hearts and bitterness wherever they go. They are INTENSE lovers, generous friends, slow to anger, excellent flirts, and fun at parties.

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 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.
