Minecrafter Withdrawal, also known as Minecraft Withdrawal or Minecrafter Withdrawal Syndrome (MWS*), is a mental condition that occurs when a Minecraft player (see Minecrafter) either willingly or nonwillingly such as not being able to play it does not play Minecraft for a long period of time. This may be days, months or even years. Symptoms include excessive boredom, increased desire to play Minecraft, (more so in the unwilling cases) and potential sadness and/or aggression.
*MWS is not to be confused with Cosbino's definition of the same word, which is here: Minecraft Withdrawal Syndrome.

Minecraft Withdrawal Syndrome

Minecraft Withdrawal Syndrome (aka MWS) occurs when a Minecraft player (see Minecrafter) dies in a cave via zombie invasion, spider attack, skeleton sniping, or even creeper terrorism and loses all of his ores/tools/weapons/armor/materials and respawns above ground, forcing him to go back into the maze of a cave system. If said Minecrafter dies a second time, then a third, before finding his items, a feeling of hopelessness comes into the mind. The Minecrafter then withdraws away from the game (something very difficult to do) for 1 hour to two months, depending on the items in the Minecrafter's inventory.

Tom: "Hey Dan, why are you looking so down? Got Minecraft Withdrawal Syndrome?"
Dan: "I just lost my diamond armor in Minecraft."
Tom: "Dude, that's harsh. How long have you been off?"
Dan: "Three years."

Striver

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

1. Billy hate drafted Chad OchoCinco because he knew Sam had wanted him since he is from Cincinnati. Billy already had plenty of players to fill that position but wanted to make sure Sam didn't get him.

2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.
