Psycho-magnification 

Psycho-magnification is the process by which interpretations of events/thoughts/action get magnified or exaggerated exponentially (till a point at which it defies logic) as the thought passes through different psyche levels.

Process example : Person 1 to 2 : "Mike was stung by a bee"... Person 2 to 3 : "Mike was stung by a giant bee"... Person 3 to 4 : "Mike was stung by a giant man-eating bee and escaped only because Batman saved him."... Person 4 to 5 : "Mike is a giant man-eating bee and he ate Batman"
Mike's experience with the bee bite was subject to a brutal amount of psycho-magnification.

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
