The Patel Effect
Becoming nose-blind to a particular smell usually due to familiarity with or prolonged exposure to them. Just like Rover from Rover's Morning Glory's childhood friend Patel. Patel's house reeked of curry, but he was not aware of the pungent stank occupying his home. He was oblivious to the fact that basically everything within a 5 mile radius of his house smelled of the aromatic spice. Also known as Odor fatigue or Olfactory adaption.
Jeffrey was confident he could wear his outfit for one more day. However, The Patel Effect prevented him from realizing the truth that he smelled like a daycare's diaper bin.

cracks in the ceiling panels
In the male (and possibly female) restrooms of high schools, cheap ceiling panels can be pushed aside. This allows students to climb up into the ceiling (usually by using the handles in the handi-capped stall) where they can smoke weed during lunch. Should not be attempted by students over 300 pounds.
"Dude! There's people in the ceiling!"
"Cracks in the ceiling panels, man. Cracks in the ceiling panels."
"Cracks in the ceiling panels, man. Cracks in the ceiling panels."

Striver
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.
