Pending for Life 

Share definition Flag
This is the sentence judged to be neither cruel nor unusual to certain types of people who request to be your friend on Facebook. These types of people include people you "knew" in middle school or high school, people you "recognize" from a class, or someone who paid close attention to you during your introduction at a recent party. It may also include people you don't want knowing your general information or what you do from time to time, which may include family, ex's, or chaunces.

What happens to these people is you never respond to their friend request because you don't want to be their friend and you don't want them to either 1) know you declined them or 2) be able to request you again. They then spend the remainder of their life pending, while you hope they assume you have a buildup of requests that you generally don't respond to.
1) Someone friended me on Facebook that I know only because I hear him breathing heavy in my PSYCH 111 class everyday, he is definitely pending for life.

2) I like posting my drinking stories on my status all the time; so sorry Mom, you're pending for life!

3) Alex: Yo Ben, isn't this that bitch I said 'hi' to last week who ended up puking all over Evan's new couch like 30 minutes later?

Ben: Ya I think so, why the hell is she adding you on Facebook?

Alex: I don't know bro, I never thought she would be able to remember me, she is for sure pending for life.

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:
