Potter's Syndrome 

Share definition Flag
The depression that follows when you finish a book and/or book series (possibly along with the movies) and realize there will be no more sequels and no matter what you do you will never have the same feeling of anticipation and exhilaration from reading the book series. The feeling that after all the waiting you know you will never get the feeling or feel the same ever again.

Symptoms include: crying, looking at fan pages obsessively, yelling harry potter spells, looking up harry potter facts out of desperation to find something you didn't already know, annual pilgrimages to The World of Harry Potter at Universal accompanied by more crying, dreaming of harry potter characters or dreaming your harry potter.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: The scar had not pained Harry for 19 years. All was well.

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
