Silver Strand Beach, Oxnard 

The last place in the world you want to be if you don't already live there. Post housing crash Newport Beach weekenders trying to run the place, grizzled old territorial local surfers, and a bunch of bored teenagers make this place heaven for some, and hell for most others.
The surf can get good, great even, but the locals rule the spot. If you don't live here, don't surf here. Slashed tires, broken windows, and the occasional beatdown is common. If the locals don't get you, and the surf is big, it will get you even worse. Silver Strand can take care of itself.
White, Mexican, Philipino, Samoan, Japanese, it doesn't matter out here. It's us against the world. One road in, one road out.
Drugs are rampant but crime is petty.
Home to the Nardcore punk scene. Many legendary bands came from Silver Strand. Agression, Stalag 13, Dr. Know, Ill Repute, and recently In Control and Annihilation Time.
Home of The Currans, Nathaniel and Timmy, pro surfers. Brandon Cruz, local surfer turned kid actor, now back to local surfer.

Food is good, cheap, and varied. Pepe's Mexican, Jetty Surf Sushi, and Big Daddy O's BBQ. Quincy Street for the O.C. transplants and rich kooks.
The S.S.L. rule the waters of Silver Strand Beach, Oxnard.

Listen to Agression's "Locals Only" for the attitude of this small beach.

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.
