Completely and utterly perplexed. Beyond confused. Hornswaggled to the point of migraines. The feeling of pure discombobulatation you get when someone says something so incredibly moronic that it makes you reconsider freedom of speech as a human right, and forces you to wonder whether they were struck by a falling coconut while you weren’t looking. The unadulterated bewilderment you experience when someone’s life has gone so devastatingly wrong, and they are so psychologically disturbed that they believe that you can wear ankle socks with trousers and not look like a complete cretin. Baffled
Person 1: Did you take the BDSM test?
Person 2: Yeah, and I’m absolutely hobblegobbled as to how I got 92% pet.
Completely and utterly perplexed. Confused beyond reason. Hornswaggled to the point of migraines and to the brink of psychological ruin. The feeling of pure discombobulation you experience when someone has the unmitigated audacity to say something so divinely and unequivocally moronic that it forces you to reconsider freedom of speech as a human right. The feeling of outright bewilderment when you’re subjected to when some miscreant has the unmitigated audacity to even suggest that wearing ankle socks and trousers is in any way acceptable; Baffled.
Person 1: Hey, did you do the BDSM test??
Person 2: Yeah, and I’m absolutely hobblegobbled that I somehow got 92% pet.
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.
