Get a Chatroom

Share definition Flag
Akin to the seemingly antiquated phrase "Get a room," "Get a Chatroom" should be used openly towards couples, or anyone for that matter, getting a bit too mushy online. Perfect for facebook wall conversations. It can also be used for when your notifications get bombarded because you decided to say "Nice Outfit!" on a friend's picture. This picture then sparked a flirtfest between the picture-poster and another random individual, leaving you to not only get annoyed, but notified! Next time you see this retch-inducing display online, let them know what they should do!
John: Oh baby, you look so hot O_O

Lisa: AwWw, thanks smoochems! I loveeee yOoOoO! Can't wait to see you later, muahhhhhh!

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:
