Shyamalan 

Share definition Flag
Someone who is spontaneous, sporadic, and friendly by nature, the epitome of good vibes. This person is the manifestation of the phrase “there are no mistakes” and someone who is smart yet a child at heart. Shyamalan is a person who you can stay up till 3 am with laughing, and in turn wouldn’t waver in staying awake with you and comforting you through your lowest because they’re so caring and love their friends. This person will lift your mood with their funny and positive nature and you can trust that they’d never let you fall of a swing! Think of any negative adjective to describe a person and Shyamalan would be the opposite of that. Consider yourself lucky if you have a Shyamalan in your life because they’ll bring you joy and be there for you whenever you need them (just like a Pokémon). This amazing human will listen to the shit you have to say every day without any complaint and make you feel way better with their greatly appreciated dirty humour and roasts.
You're never lonely if you have a Shyamalan in your life.

Shyamalan'd

When things appear to be going fine, then take a terrible turn for the worst. Based off of the style of writing/directing of filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan, a proponent of twist endings.
Dude, I was about to hook it up with this hot girlie, but then it turned out she was a dude. There were a lot of signs that suggested she was a dude, but I overlooked them; in hindsight it all makes sense. I just got Shyamalan'd.

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
