The Neverending Story 

One of the best novels ever written.

It was written in German by Michael Ende, first published in 1979, and adapted into a movie in 1984.
Gary: I remember seeing "The Neverending Story" when I

was a child. It completely blew my mind! I always

dreamed of going to Fantasia...

John: That trash is a disgrace! Once you have read the

book you will never be the same again. And by the

way, fuckwit, it's Fantastica, not Fantasia!

The Neverending Story 

A 1984 movie about a kid named Bastian that, after being chased by bullies, runs into a book store and steals a book entitled "The Neverending Story". He becomes immersed in the book, and starts thinking and feeling the same things as the book's main character, Atreyu. In the book, a terrible swarm of 'nothingness' is taking over -- destroying the world and leaving a big empty space. Atreyu is sent to find a cure for this 'nothing' to save the Childlike Empress. In the end, however, it is only Bastian that can save the world inside The Neverending Story.

The Neverending Story 

A film series that ended. So much for living up to it's name.

The Neverending Story 

While defecating, the long strand of crap continues to flow out from the body in an almost non-ending way, hence the name - The Neverending Story
Hey man, last night I had a The Neverending Story, I was on the crapper for almost two hours last night.

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

- 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.
