Outline 

Share definition Flag
noun: Based on an entire chapter of a huge ass book. Has absolutely no purpose to it and it is done for one homework grade although, it takes >3 hours to do and most likely will take up five pages out of an expensive notebook. Can be considered as a type of "notes" but often times, after handing said papers in, it is not given back until after a test which you could have used it to study for. Sadly, the teacher forgets to give the papers back before the test you took and makes an idiotic excuse that basically makes you want to rip their head off and feed it to a large carnivorous plant that lives in Colorado.

The excuse: "I don't have them graded yet... but you don't need to study off of your outline anyways. the test didn't have that material on it. I already gave you (extremely long and specific- most likely focusing on things you don't understand because the teacher doesn't allow you to ask questions- things that you couldn't care less about) notes to study off of!" *happy smile*

Your reaction: .................WTF. Just.... WTF -_______-
I should be doing my outline at this moment. But, it being so very close to final exams, my tolerance for such useless information is at just about zero. Do you have a problem with this? If so, you can go join my teacher in Colorado.

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
