Newark, De

Share definition Flag
Home of the University of Delaware, a city that litteraly cares more for the students that attend the University, than its own residents. This is largely observed by the continued closings of longtime local favorite bars and resturants to clear land for student apartments.

Newark, DE

Share definition Flag
DelaWHERE? Newark is a small cluster of houses with a huge college problem. With 1 McDonnalds in a 10 mile radius, you should get the picture. Besides going and "hanging out" on Main Street, theres nothing to do. And the only thing to do on Main St is buy XTC and shitty Marijuana. Delaware doesn't have any good drugs... neither does Newark.

Newark is also home to The University of Delaware. Also known as the "Party college". Freshman walk around every day of the week looking for parties to attend, and cheat their way through class. Note: If you're a girl... always make sure you have extra condoms on hand.

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
