Yasemin 

Share definition Flag
Yasemin can be a pretty emotional person though she doesn't like to publicly show it. She's a badass and acts tough, but if you're hurting enough she doesn't hesitate to show her softer side.

Yasemin, majority of the time, is pretty self-confident and doesn't give a shit about what other people think of her. She's independent and courageous and won't hesitate to stand up for someone. She usually has a sarcastic and dark sense of humor. She's into the craziest shit and is a huge risk taker. She doesn't believe in wasting your life on petty things. An adventure with her is one you'll never forget.

Romantically, Yasemin will be one of the best partners, if not the best, you'll ever have. She doesn't believe in tradition, and this applies to relationships too. Yasemin will do anything to protect her partner and will sweep them off their feet with her passionate and loyal drive. Her partner will feel like they're the only one who matters in the entire world. Her love will be one of the rarest and most valuable you'll ever come across. Though she's caring and loving, she's not naive. If you screw her over in anyway she'll leave you behind in a heartbeat.

If you treat her well, Yasemin will truly be one of the greatest people you'll ever meet. Hurt her or anyone she really cares about, she'll make you feel like you don't even exist. If you know a Yasemin, don't lose her. She's a treasure.

Word of advice. Fuck with her or her friends, you die.
I hope my step-sis Yasemin reads this.

The Yale Scale 

Share definition Flag
An all-inclusive hotness rating scale for females. It is a three-digit number, the first digit a 1-10 rating of the female's face, the second digit a 1/0 indication of whether or not you would tap that (1 being yes and 0 being no), and the third digit a 1-10 rating of the female's body.
*whistles* Wow, I'd say she's a 6-1-8 on The Yale Scale.

Really? I am not impressed. I think she's more of a 4-0-5.

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
