Share definition Flag
A upper middle class university in the CSU system. There are many good things about Sonoma State, such as the Rec Center, Amechis Pizza, and the many bike locks around campus. Sonoma State is also known for having a bunch of "yuppie" and "spoiled kids" attend this institution, as it is the riches CSU in the entire system. The school is also predominantly white, but is working on increasing diversity. Several legendary figures have come out of Sonoma State such as the Seawolf mascot, and thats about it. The fraternity's at Sonoma State have a reputation for hazing/demoralizing and humiliating treatment towards incoming freshman. There have been many alcohol related incidents over the years involving fraternity's such as TKE, SAE and a few others. These fraternity's have also contributed to the high number of sexual assaults on campus each year. The police are very strict on campus, and do not like wise guys at all. Sonoma State is a affluent uppity school with its own unique problems, but at the same time the same problems many other institutions across the nation face.

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
