Is that how you remember it? 

Share definition Flag
Is that how you remember it? — a statement designed to call into question the projected memories of a person waxing poetic about the past. It’s another way of saying: HELL NAW!!!!!!!! It wasn’t that way at all!!!!!! The ethos of “Is that how you remember it?” Is best captured by The Doobie Brothers song featuring Michael McDonald on lead vocals What a Fool Believes — which was an awesome song.

And yes! That’s how I remember it!
Lover #1 when we were together we were both happy. No matter where we went out to eat, it seemed as though they were always playing our song. I never knew love before I met you!

Lover #2 Is that how you remember it?

Rich and successful person: The “come up” is the best part. Maaaaaaaaaaaan! I think I was happier when I was in the struggle and every day was a scramble. At least I knew who I was and who to trust.

Most loyal old true friend: Is that how you remember 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
