Having a love so indescribable it's both horrifying and beautiful. Being both heartbroken and in love at the same time so intensely that you don't know what to do with it. You're afraid because you've never had a love like this and you wonder if you deserve it because it's beautiful. The state of mind where all you want to do is run into their arms and tell them how you feel, even if you have no idea how.
Person 1: "I don't know, I want to say that I care. That I love. But I don't know how. It's practically impossible."
Person 2: "I think you've got the case of Tuberose. Question is, what are you going to do about it?"
Person1: "...Say screw it. There's still a chance for me. I 'm going for it, no matter what the outcome may be."

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
