"Oh boy I can't wait to play with the boys!"

bullshit assignment

Share definition Flag
An assignment (typically for school) that is given for the sake of having an assignment.

Bullshit assignments relate to the course, but they do not particularly advance your knowledge in said course. Since these assignments are not useful for actually learning, they are bullshit assignments. It is just a bunch of busy work that makes life more frustrating than it already is... Especially since the assignment shouldn't exist in the first place!
Some courses require essentially no homework. The teachers will begin to feel as if they are doing a poor job because of this, and in effect, will create a totally bullshit assignment in order to justify their lack of assignments.

summer assignment 

Share definition Flag
As if the fact that kids spend almost 10 months of their entire year stuck in some classroom, learning useless information and getting their rights and individuality stripped away wasn't enough torture, somebody thought it'd be a good idea to start off the kids' summer by essentially giving them a project. That is basically what a summer assignment is.

Most people that run these school systems are oblivious to the fact that: A) Kids are not going to magically become more literate by being forced to read some crappy novel B) Most kids don't even read the books they're given, instead relying on the internet (A.K.A. that thing that proved that school is 100% obsolete) to give them a quick summary of it, and doing their 5 page essay on that and C) Most kids would rather NOT think about school during the only time they have off.

It's almost similar to when they send you packets to do during Christmas Vacation, and you were too busy doing those to actually enjoy playing your new video game system (because homework packets make everybody feel jolly!). Except imagine them taking a bite out of your summer instead. That is what summer assignments are like.
Students: "3....2.....1!!!! Summer is finally here!!!!"
Teacher: "Enjoy your summer. By the way, don't forget to write that 10-page essay and complete your summer assignment while the rest of your family is at the pool actually doing something fun!"

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

1. Billy hate drafted Chad OchoCinco because he knew Sam had wanted him since he is from Cincinnati. Billy already had plenty of players to fill that position but wanted to make sure Sam didn't get him.

2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.

Utility beer 

Share definition Flag
Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
