Northumberland 

England/Scotland border county to the North of Newcastle Upon Tyne, and to the East of Cumbria. Being a border county it has seen its fair share of battles and is steeped in history. Plenty of castles and Stately houses and even The Roman Wall. Beautiful rolling hills, rivers, trees and majestic beaches in the summer. Bleak as fuck in the winter, which is most of the time.

Northumberland 

a small town in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania. Most know for the Joseph Priestly House (although nobody out of the area has ever really heard of it) and Front Street Station. There is nothing to do here, everything requires going to a different town, including high school. Also known as "the good side of the river" as opposed to Sunbury. The most exciting event to occur here is Pineknotter Days.

East Northumberland Secondary School 

If you want to come to a school full of white people who wear steeltoes, shit boxes in the parking lot, and a very off balance of good and bad staff members, you want ENSS.

This place has it all, shitty gym equipment, terrible flooring in said gyms, musty ass bathrooms, dirty ass classrooms, and horrible programs :).
“Hey I went to East Northumberland Secondary School as well
“Oh wow no were both collage drop outs cause ENSS sucked at teaching!”

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

SkyPesos 

Delta SkyMiles, also known as SkyPesos, is the frequent flyer program of Delta Airlines. It has a very poor value and hard to use.
- I'm trying to book an award flight to Paris, but I only have 70,000 SkyPesos
- Just forget about it, you don't have enough SkyPesos to fly anywhere.
