Mortality 

Share definition Flag
Yea, everybody knows you can die if you do certain things. You can die in your sleep, you can die even if you're not trying to get yourself killed. What does anybody who's still alive really know about mortality though? If your friends or family died in a car accident, they would be the folks who know about mortality and not you. I doubt anybody who claims to know all about mortality from seeing horrific accidents has had an opportunity to talk with any of the deceased about mortality, therefore you're full of shit when you preach about it, you don't really know shot like the rest of us.
The girl must know it all about what death is like from seeing some bad accidents since she's preaching to everybody how they should live their lives the way she lives hers. Any slight deviation from the way she lives life will be considered reckless and adolescent minded, watch out! She's a mortality expert!

No matter how many times people like to talk about it over and over, it turns out even as kids, everybody already knew that nobody was immortal.
Mortality is reality, everything else is ideas.

if one chooses to be hopeful or spiritual, a temporary "what if"-"i have no clue, i'm lost" scenario, placed in your path with the purpose of making you consider things in a different light, for your own ultimate good, and, eventually, value the prospect of living forever more, among other benefits, without feeling bored, because life just keeps going...and going...and going...on, and on, and on...forever.

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
