altadena 

Share definition Flag
Altadena is a small town north of Pasadena, in the Los Angeles area, right at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. It is known for being very diverse in regards to ethnicities and social/financial households.

Often referred to as "The Dena", Altadena is has been known to attract teenage partying and fun, not to mention quite a bit of marijuana use. Altadena also attracts teenagers from 'boring' areas or suburbs around Los Angeles (such as La Canada, etc.). Altadena is host to a few girls and boys foster homes and half-way houses, and is quite even in population between young people and elderly.

Gravity Hill is located in a "secret" location in Altadena, and Farnsworth Park is a notable landmark for partying, making out, pick-up baseball/basketball/football/soccer games, little league, picnics, and concerts.

Although Altadena has been host to a few gangs, violence is minimal, if there is violence at all. In fact, most violence goes down in Pasadena.

All in all, Altadena is the place to be for a naturally good time. No raves or anything, just good people and cool places to be.

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
