fishers island 

a hella preppy island that is tiny, but in the summer feels ten times larger. it gets a ton of shit because its basically just a smaller and less public version of the Hamptons, but it's a good time. everyone is decently rich, but we don't really bother flaunting it as much as some other summer communities. if you have friends, the summers are soo fun, but if you aren't friends with the people your age, it can be really boring. fun usually means getting high or drunk on one of the beaches and then sleeping over at a friends house for the night, and then proceeding to bike home at 7 am because you forgot about your job.

also, theres two main country clubs that are verryyyy different. Hay Harbor is smaller and more kid friendly, and you'll probably enjoy doing tennis there until you're about 16. The Big Club is a lot harder to get into, and is mainly for golf but people go to the beach as well. they're both pretty fun, but for different things.

the island is really just a bunch of privileged, private school kids pretending they didn't get high right before dinner at the club. its fun to grow up at though. if you make good friends, they'll be there for the rest of your life.
(most likely at a prep school campus, such as westminster or st. pauls)

fishers island 

an extremey preppy summer island (also Year round) that in the summer time gets filled with preppy kids. every way you turn you see blond, wavy hair, pastels, and cliques. the cliques are bad. they suck. its ridiculous, if you don't go for one summer you're not in a group anymore. word spreads like wild fire on this island, it'a little pathetic. "partying" entails breaking into dad's liquor cabinet and sitting at home and drinking either cheap beer or very expensive liquor, or sitting around cars, getting high near a beach then about 5 minutes later getting busted by a bike cop because the neighbor said you were too loud.

some good people though

not a bad place to grow up but gets hella old as you get older and people get meaner

has some redeaming qualities but the people make the place
i used to go to fishers island but then wanted a life.

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

SkyPesos

- I'm trying to book an award flight to Paris, but I only have 70,000 SkyPesos
- Just forget about it, you don't have enough SkyPesos to fly anywhere.

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.
