Funism 

Share definition Flag
Funism is anything that can inspire joy or playfulness in the lives of others. It's about trying to make the world a happier place.It's an ideology. It's a philosophy. Funism is like alcoholism, except you don't have to have a hangover when it's over. It's cheaper than anti-depressants and has better side effects.

Participants of FUNism are often seen wearing wax lips while driving to help prevent road rage in others, leaving tiny toys for others to find or sticking google eyes onto objects (Like Fire Hydrants) for other's to find. Positive, inspirational chalk messages are often seen on city streets and attributed to Funism.

Funism if FREE, but the "Heart Hug" is copyrighted. Dr. Seuss is the patron saint of Funism (Fun is Good), K.P. Rennie is the primary curator and perpetuator.

A collection of Funism images can be found using the hashtag FUNISM on instagram. Photos of mermaids all over the globe can be found on Facebook at:The Fun Zone, The Center for the Study of FUNism or facebook/funism.

If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.

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
