The Other Day 

Any day from yesterday, to the day I was born.
Person 1- "Yea the other day I-"
Person 2- "The other day or seven months ago?"
Person 1- "Seven months ago....."

The Other Day 

A meaningless definition of time used in reference when speaking to the past. Most typically 'the other day' would connote to being as far back as a week or maybe two; but has been so grossly overused, and therefore, any meaningful annotation slaughtered, that it clearly can now define ANY period of past-time leaving the many delusional to refer to infinite time as just 'the other day'.
Bro 1: Dude, you totally still have a thing for your ex! Remember, you just got drunk and slept with her like, the other day!!

Bro 2: Nah dude, that was like, 6 months ago at the New Year's party, then she moved out of state & I haven't seen her since. It's June now, bro.

The other day 

Probably very uncommon definition other than me and my friend group. The phrase is used as a code for a girl (guy if u female or gay) that you think is pretty. The reason this code works is because it’s somthing you could say in a sentence that not only stands out but blends in. Leaving any other party oblivious to what you might be saying.
Me: aye rememberthe other day?”
Friend: *looks* oh yaaaa

The other day 

Any day that is not today.
I went to the store the other day.

The Other Day 

It was 100% not Yesterday, it was probably over 1 Week ago.
Friend: The Other Day I was...
Friend 2: Shut the fuck up

the other day ago 

A dumbass's way of trying to say what happened the other day, while trying to tell a story. "Ago" is added in as a stupid phrase to make yourself sound more "gangster"

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:
