Areaology 

Share definition Flag
The worship of the all-encompassing Area, AKA David Bowie's crotch. A kind of pseudo-religious cult practise that involves repeatedly watching such films as 'The Man Who Fell to Earth' and 'Labyrinth' in which the Area stars. Areaologists believe that the Area is with them at all hours of the night and day and that its presence can be linked to the creation of the Earth and all its inhabitants.
Areaology is quickly becoming accepted throughout most English-speaking countries.

Areology

Share definition Flag
The study of the structure of Mars. Similar to geology of Earth, areological study looks at rocks, dirt, terrain, and other physical features of the fourth planet.

Related terms include:
- areography (like geography)
- exogeology
- hydroareology (study of martian groundwaters)
- paleoareology
The areology of Olympus Mons denotes it is over 20 km tall. Areological study of the planet is difficult at such a distance, so the only areologists on the planet are Martian rovers. "Geology is the areology of Earth"

1. (What archaeology should be) You've started your archaeology course. It's the first day, you have your hat, whip and designer stuble and are ready to go and kick ass. Everything is exciting, there are always nazi scum to shoot, imprisoned children to free and artefact s to "rescue". If you are an archaeologist you can also get laid easily.

2. What archaeology is :( . You're there, on your uni course, let's say in Exeter for example. Pen in hand. Peering around the lecture theatre at various other odd looking characters that look like they should never have been allowed to leave wales , sommerset or whatever random back country they escaped from. There's hours of looking at dendrochronology, pollen diagrams, and geophysical bull shit. (That's not the good kind of pollen either :( ) Archaeology causes insanity, a strong accent and excitement over broken ceramics .

Avoid at all costs. Unless you are already displaying archaeology symptoms, then you may well enjoy.
*queue theme music* Look at him killing all those nazi's! He must have done archaeology!

This week you will be looking at carbonised grain and what it can tell us about past cultures and how they farmed.

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
