Newyorkrican 

1. A person of Puerto Rican descent (both parents) not born in Puerto Rico but born in New York.

2. Newyorkrican also can refer to a first born Puerto Rican child not born in Puerto Rico but in New York.

3. Newyorkrican is a special title give to Puerto Rican's not born in Puerto Rico. This is the only title recognized in New York and Puerto Rico. Puerto Rican's born in other states are not granted this special meaning for their specific state. Only New York is recognized!

4. All other definitions seem to degrade what a Newyorkrican is into a wanna be black person. This is simply not true. Puerto Rican's are Puerto Rican's by blood not just Island status. Sounds like Puerto Rican's are a little bit jealous of Newyorkricans.
Manuel was the first born child of a Puerto Rican family that moved from Puerto Rico to New York before he was born. He is often refered as a Newyorkrican because even though his parents are both Puerto Rican, he was not born in Puerto Rico.

newyorkrican 

Fake Puertoricans. Puertoricans are friendly, smart, strong, cool, people of the island Puerto Rico. They speak spanish and have the most amazing beaches. They are proud of their boricuan heritage. Newyorkricans are dirty, fake, people of puertorican descent. They speak broken spanish, think their black, and talk with a fake black accent. If you wanna show your real boricuan pride don't try to act black.

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
