Well, damn.

Where does one even begin to start with Layan. She's precious, the sweetest soul you'll ever meet. She loves so fucking hard. Don't take advantage of her. You'll never forget her. She's private, quiet too, but once you get to know her she changes everything. She makes you a better person, she makes you feel good. But often, she's struggling. She needs someone to be by her side no matter how dark it gets. Layans don't let people in easily, they often hurt on their own.
I fucked it up and lost a Layan, and once you lose her I doubt she'll ever come back.

She's the kind of girl you want for yourself. She's the perfect mix of shy, innocent, cocky, funny, horny and kinky. I fucked up big time.

Wife her, don't let her go. If we're thinking about the same Layan, her constant distancing and disappearing is normal, keep chasing her till you get her because believe me, you won't find or want anyone else after her. Man, just love her the way I should've. You're lucky. Fuck you.
Mark: Hey, man... I think she might be the one
Connor: A Layan?
Mark: A Layan

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
