The kind of bad-ass girl with a nice streak if you're on her good side. The quintessential girl-next-door who'll talk shit to your face if you mess with her, or will back you til the end if she likes you.
"Damn, that Kaitela is fuckin ridiculous, I want her on my side!"

"Don't fuck with Kaitela dude, she'll have your fuckin baby!"

KAUWELA - hawaiian for "summer" or "hot season"

Kauwela's sweet but feisty. She will either warm your heart or burn your house down. It all depends on how you treat her. She is strong, smart, creative, and brave. She doesnt have many friends because she can't stand to waste her time with people who do not fit her goals and beliefs. To have known a Kauwela is to have lived.
Ex: "Kauwela is coming"

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
