sherlock holmes morning 

Share definition Flag
When you wake up not sure where you are or where you've been. This usually happens after a night of drinking too much, or just enough. The first thing you deduce is where your at. The best is your own bed with a hottie. If not find your pants and try and find someone you know.

After this is done you check your cell phone to see who you called and texted. This may require apologies laterdepending on the time and what sounded good last night.

Then you start checking your surroundings, is that blood or pizza sauce all over my shirt? Why does my leg hurt when I try to stand? Where is my other shoe?

After you make sure that nothing requires medical attention its time to start calling your friends like sherlock holmes to figure out what the hell happened this morning.
I had one hell of a sherlock holmes morning, I woke up on a park bench with a dead squirrel.

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
