USACO 

Share definition Flag
USA Computing Olympiad
Most commonly pronounced as: You-Suck-Oh (or less commonly; You-Sack-Oh)

A 4-hour long, online programming competition for highschool kids where there are four divisions: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Each division features different types of problems, such as sorting, binary search, DP, greedy, graph theory, blah blah, etc.

Helpful Side-note:
Once you reach the 4th division (Platinum), you will realize that the pronounciation of the name makes sense.
Gaddamit, I forgot ONE edge-case for my program, and that killed 8 test cases!! Gaddammit, I missed the USACO Platinum cuttoff by ONE test-case..... Gaddammit, my code won't even compile!!

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
