The Shot 

Share definition Flag
The Shot is the name given to a game-winning basket made by Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls in the fifth game of the first round of the 1989 NBA Playoffs against the Cleveland Cavaliers, on May 7, 1989, on Cleveland's home floor in Richfield, Ohio over Craig Ehlo of the Cavaliers. The buzzer-beater gave Chicago the best-of-five series, 3–2. It was both a game and series winner. The Shot is considered one of Jordan's greatest clutch moments, and the game itself a classic.

take the shot mickey

The phrase, "take the shot mickey" is a meme that originated from a video with over 1.2 million views "Uptown Goof" uploaded by the youtuber "ProZD". The video begins with the beloved Disney character Goofy singing "Uptown Funk" by Bruno Mars. He is soon interrupted, however, by people claiming to be "Copyright Police". Goofy manages to escape, but he is quickly cornered by his old best friend Mickey Mouse who is pointing a gun at him. Mickey tries to convince his friend to turn himself in, even referencing Donald Duck in a way that makes it seem as though he passed away. Goofy, ignoring the advice and seeing no way out, tells his old friend to, "take the shot mickey." Mickey Mouse, loving Goofy too much, cannot take the shot and Goofy exclaims, "You're a coward Mickey. You always were." Thus a meme was born.
Whimsy: Pals this person is being mean to me, what should I do?
Ren: Take the shot Mickey.
Whimsy: I can't.
Dizzy: You're a coward Whims.
Matt: You always were.

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
