rate of broke 

a calculation that grad students commonly make in the last one to two years of their studies. This calculation enables one to see how much time will pass until they are dead broke.

The rate of broke is customarily defined as the monthly rate at which graduate students approach Absolute Broke.

Typically, this calculation is relevant only for graduate students who are extremely frugal and accepted less financial aid than necessary to live assuming they would make up for the shortage of funds through the course of their program.

This rate is defined as the slope of the linear regression trend line that is the sum of all current assets and cash flows into the future.

Assuming:
y is dollar amounts
x is time in months

y = -717.93 x + 8391.6

Rate of Broke:
$717.93 / month

Time to Absolute Broke:
y = 0

x = 11.688 months until Absolute Brokeness

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

1. Billy hate drafted Chad OchoCinco because he knew Sam had wanted him since he is from Cincinnati. Billy already had plenty of players to fill that position but wanted to make sure Sam didn't get him.

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