Quaranenting 

Share definition Flag
An overtly permissive (and survivalist) parenting style that reflects the utter exhaustion of any personal time or space from one’s family due to quarantine, isolation, and/or social-distancing requirements in the era of a global pandemic like (but not limited to) that of the novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, causing COVID-19 and parental insanity the world over. Best summed up in a meme featuring actor Ken Jeong in a sombrero. Lack of space and sanity means all the rules are different... Professional level Quaranenting often also involves using another pandemic-enabled tool: margarita take-out/delivery.
Normally I discourage skateboarding and soccer in the house but I’m Quaranenting, so I’ll allow it.

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
