McHenry County College 

Share definition Flag
A school in Crystal Lake IL also known as MCC. Nobody is happy to go here at all because they realize how shitty of a school this really is. Most people especially freshmans treat MCC as if it was high school all over again for another two years. Cliques and social groups (Ex: Jocks, Nerds, Preps, Out Casts) they all exist here at this school. Just walk into the cafeteria and look at the groups of people sitting together at the 70+ tables inside the cafe. God forbid you have a different opinion on a subject than a teacher. For example if you believe that the concept of global warming is false most teachers will mark points off your exam, homework etc, just because you don't share the common viewpoint of theirs because they believe their opinion is better. If you have a different opinion wait until the last day of class to say something about it, and you'll thank me later for it. The school's drinking water always smells funny due to the school only filtering their well water once every 6 months. The schools sports are track, soccer, basketball, volleyball and baseball. You will notice who plays baseball because they all wear their douchey purple and gold(school colors) hats that say MCC in silver lettering. Nobody really ever goes to any MCC games because nobody cares, mostly everyone goes down to the school they want to transfer to and support their athletics programs such as going to NIU football games on saturdays. If you miss high school then this is the college for you.

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
