This is the Way 

Shut the fuck up and do it
When the courts decide you need to pay child support AND alimony and the judge says, "This is the Way."

this is the way i live 

the popular single by Baby Boy Da Prince
This is the way I live,
Lil' boy still pushin' big wheels,
I stack my money, lay low and chill,
No need to work hard,
This the way i feel, i feel, this is the way i live

is this the way to amarillo? 

good question? where is it? You could reply:

1.Nope this is glasgow mate, its down the m5, junction 13 and on the left of the services station.

2.Dont see many armadillos around here

3.Dont you dare attempt to rip off a great song!

4.Just carry on singing along with them

5.Why is Marie waiting for you? You dont look like the kind of guy that she would date!
Every night ive been hugging my pillow, dreaming dreams of amarillo....

is this the way to amarillo? 

Notice that in this song, Marie is waiting for Tony Christie, but in All Seeing I's "Walk Like A Tiger", which is also a Tony Christie song, Marie had left him for a man half his age! Maybe Tony had spent too long trying to find the place, and Marie got fed up waiting. Ho hum.
Sha la la la la la la la!
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
