Mediocity 

Share definition Flag
Mat "Pookie" Swingle's favorite "word", which in fact isn't a word at all. It was just mediocrity misspelled on a Panda Express fortune cookie that Mat found when he was 12.
Mat showed me the fortune cookie paper while we were hanging out one day. It said, and I quote, " Be broke or be wealthy, but never accept mediocity."

train of mediocrity 

Share definition Flag
The people in the back of the pack during a multiplayer Mario Kart race. The 3rd place player is usually considered the "conductor", and everyone behind him is part of the train. The reason for the label "mediocrity" is that farther back player always get much better items that allow them to "cheaply" make up ground. A common scenario is that 1st and 2nd will be skillfully sparring for first place,and blue shell comes from the back of the pack and destroys the leaders. While they are the down the "conducter" and his "train" will pass the more skilled players while making whistling sounds.
(often spoken in a sarcastic tone)
So Dave, you conducting the train of mediocrity today?

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
