sensationalism 

Share definition Flag
The key factor, apparantly.
I wish I could tell you more perfect news, but were in a rating system here, and the key factor is "sensationalism". They've got you running around in circles, 9-5, and 5-9. Your mine, I tell you what they want you to know, and you concider it the truth. NOBODY IS OPENING THEIR EYES, OUR WHOLE ECONOMY IS DEPLETING THE WORLD OF OUR LIVES AND NATURAL RESOURCES. AND ARE YOU HAPPY. COME ON, I WORK FOR THE SYSTEM!

Leaf Nation Sensationalism 

Share definition Flag
Inane, idiotic, far from the truth stories and rumours that come out of the Toronto Area about the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Particularly, during the Free Agent offseason and around the time of the trade deadline.

Rumors that make Eklund's 30% BS look credible.
Larry Leaf Fan: Hey Did you hear? The Leafs are trading for Peter Forsberg, Naslund, Kariya, Khabibulin, Hatcher, Modano and Yzerman. - I heard it on the news

Hockey Fan w/brain: Yeah right, thats just Leaf Nation Sensationalism.

LLF: Dude we're gonna get them I know it.

HF: Yeah right, the same rumors have been coming out of Toronto since 67.

LLF: Ahh go fuck yourself Leafs will win the cup this year.

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
