Penelope Syndrome 

a term that describes a specific archetype of women or girls who are not only exceptionally attractive but also possess distinct feminine physical traits. These traits include high cheekbones, cupid bow lips, and a beautifully symmetrical smile.

However, Princess Syndrome goes beyond physical appearance. These women often excel in various aspects of their lives, showcasing talents and abilities that set them apart. Despite their outward beauty and inner gifts, they frequently have a background filled with significant trauma or adversity. This combination of striking beauty, talent, and a tragic past creates a complex and often poignant persona.

The term suggests that, much like a fairytale princess, these individuals may seem perfect on the surface but have endured deep emotional pain or challenging experiences. Their journey is often marked by a sense of resilience and strength, as they navigate their way through life's difficulties.

In summary, Princess Syndrome encapsulates the idea of a woman or girl who is not only visually stunning and highly accomplished but also carries a history of profound personal struggles. This duality of beauty and hardship makes their story all the more compelling and evocative
Marilyn Monroe, Aaliyah, Anna Nicole Smith and Princess Diana are widely known women who had Penelope Syndrome

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
