Personal Project

A project completed in grade 10 that nobody likes and has absolutely no benefits. You usually write a +3500 word essay written on the night before you have to hand it in, a process journal with faked dates and progress, and a crappy final product. In the presentation, you try to make it seem as if you actually did any work for the first half of the time given, if not at all.

If you are an IB student, after finishing you will be glad to realise that you don't even need to have a final product to pass and that you've spend all this time for nothing, as well as having to do the same fucking thing next year in Diploma.
"Did you pass the Personal Project?"

"Barely, I stayed up all night to finish my essay and pretty obvious when you read it"

personal project exhibition

A complete waste of time for those who did their projects one day before it was due.
Oh shit its the personal project exhibition day, I'm screwed.

Personal Project Report 

A personal project report is a shitty report done 3 hours before you hand it in. It comprises of spelling errors, forged dates and dead lines, and fake emails written by you to you. It is the shittiest report you will ever write (if you are an IB student) and honestly, most of us procrastinate getting it done, using the six months they give us to do anything other than the report and using the week before to complete the fucking report, that IB may or may not even read :D
Student 1: did you finish the Personal Project Report yet?
Student 2: I haven't even finished strand i of A.

Student 1: It's due tomorrow...
Student 2: I know.

Brayden's New Personal Project

One of the unnamed project that automatically gets named by an online audio software, and the audio is guaranteed to be extremely loud, and if anyone hears Brayden's New Personal Project, it is guaranteed to make your ears bleed.
At least it's nowhere near as loud as Brayden's New Personal Project

Projected Personal Paradox

For those that blame a person's influence, other than someone's own intuition, on a 'perceived enemy,' hold that conflict personally within. Where the claimant only sees something familiar to loathe/attack/hate when the influence or its premise is actually influential on themselves (directly or indirectly).
A person claiming a group of people have influence on an individual when the person claiming influence is obviously affected by many apparent groups or factors is an example of Projected Personal Paradox.

A liberal calling someone a republican based on the so called republican's inclination for pro-life when they are not in either groups.

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

2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
