College application season is upon us!<br>
<br>
Yes, we know it is difficult to keep your unbridled excitement in check, but we ask that you do refrain from whooping—it scares the Admission Counselors (they're rather twitchy this time of year).<br>
<br>
Though AVID and AP classes and general experience have no doubt made you an expert already, we at Marymount California University thought it might be helpful to let you know about five common application mistakes we see almost daily...and the best way to avoid them.<br>
<br>
So, yeah. Here they are.<br>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This summer our campus underwent some massive changes. First, we ungraded from Marymount College to Marymount California University. Which was pretty epic. Then we built a <b><a href="http://www.marymountcalifornia.net/" target="_blank">brand new website</a></b>. Also epic. We could have stopped there, but we're nothing if not achievers, so our new <b><a href="http://www.marymountcalifornia.net/sustainable-marymount" target="_blank">Office of Sustainability</a> </b>made some other pretty nifty upgrades. Check 'em out below!</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yeah. I know. There are those of you out there who say that there is nothing glamorous about a parking lot. </span><br>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those of you who say that have obviously not tried to park on our Palos Verdes campus during finals week. Think <i>Hunger Games</i> meets <i>Fast And Furious 6</i>.<br><br>[It was never actually our fault—our footprint in the beautiful Palos Verdes hills was necessarily restricted to preserve the land around us—but that didn't change the fact that one of our top complaints from students, staff and faculty was a lack of available parking.]</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mariners, we have heard (and felt) your pain! Now, as part of the school-splosion we've been undergoing since 2010, we've transformed what used to be our practice field into the world's most beautiful parking lot. <br><br>Rejoice! Rejoice as you ease your car into a comfortable spot without making enemies of your fellow Mariners! Rejoice as you stroll about 8 1/2 feet to the door of your class! Rejoice, Professors, as the "I-was-late-to-Biology-because-I-couldn't-find-parking" excuse will soon go the way of <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broad-faced_Potoroo" style="font-style: italic;" target="_blank">Potorous platyops</a>!</span><i style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;"> </i></span><br>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Through the banks of nearly gelatinous fog (also known as "June Gloom," the So Cal curse for being able to get a tan in December), you can glimpse an invading army of ravenous creatures marching inexorably up the hill to our campus. </span></div>

<br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If the name Johnnie Jenkins Jr. isn't meant for the film industry, nothing is. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each spring, the LA Harbor International Film Festival (LAHIFF) showcases film projects that embrace the culture and heritage of Los Angeles Harbor cities. The festival is by invitation only, and this year a short film directed by one of our Media Studies students, the eminently talented and academically astute Johnnie Jenkins Jr., made the cut.<br /><br />Johnnie's film, <i>The Aesthetic Spirit of San Pedro, </i>explores the community and culture of the vibrant city of San Pedro, and is lauded by the LAHIFF as "connecting the festival to the cultural, historical, and business interests of San Pedro on the tenth anniversary of the LAHIFF and during the city's 125th anniversary celebration." <br /><br />We congratulate Johnnie on this honor (and want to remind him that, if he ever needs a writer when he makes it big, he should look no further than this blog's author...Ahem), and are thrilled that he is representing Marymount College.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.laharborfilmfest.com/new/laharborfilmfest/LAHIFF2012Postcard.pdf" target="_blank"><b>Here is the schedule of events</b></a> so you can check out his film. </span><br />Marymount College Admissions Staffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09796256317703246588noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1231503287689799150.post-44202524182578138222013-03-22T09:04:00.002-07:002013-03-22T09:04:58.122-07:00Marymount College Changes Its Name To...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br>I love this topic, because personal statements are my favorite part of reviewing a student's application. Sure, it's fun to look at a transcript and piece together a "high school story" from the grades and activities listed (I always feel like Sherlock Holmes when I do that...the one from BBC, not the bromantic Holmes from the awful sequel with Jude Law), but I do prefer reading the personal statement for two reasons: </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You know what would be awesome? Teleportation. I keep waiting for them to invent it, and I remain disappointed. I mean come on. Google made a car that drives itself. They need to get on the instant travel app STAT.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the meantime we're stuck with flight, driving, hot air ballooning, horseback riding, and other inefficient methods of travel--particularly in Los Angeles. Last time I took my horse on the 405 freeway, it was an absolute disaster.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RIP, Lightning...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, until teleportation becomes as mainstream as the iPhone (but hopefully with better navigation), college visits will remain a hassle. Of course they're the best way to feel out a college, but sometimes they just aren't in the cards.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do you like to wait for stuff? Me either. You should see me when it takes Facebook longer than 1/10 of a nanosecond to load. Don't even get me started on traffic, lines at Disneyland, or the last 30 minutes of the workday. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That is the reason that we created our WIAD (Walk-In Application Day) events: Waiting sucks--especially when you're waiting on your admission decision. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The reason we named the event WIAD, however, remains a mystery (perhaps because "Why-Add" sounds cooler than "WIDD..."). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You see, this is how the event works:</span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>You submit your application online</b>, from home (or a library, internet cafe, via wireless stolen from your neighbors--basically anywhere that isn't on our campus), sometime before you "walk-in" to our office.<br /><br />[See? The name is kind of a poor description of the day. But this is where the good stuff starts.]<br /></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>You <a href="mailto:admission@marymountpv.edu" target="_blank">RSVP for WIAD</a> this Frida</b>y (or just "walk-in")</span></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you arrive, you hand us your transcript(s) and anything you want us to consider when making an admission decision. </span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You go on a student-led tour of our campus. </span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You return, and help yourself to our tasty array of snacks. </span></b></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We call you into our office, and you'll meet with one of our Assistant Directors of Admission. </span></b></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>They will tell you if you've been admitted. </b><br />[If you haven't, they'll give you tips about how to improve your chances and give you another shot at it.]<br /></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>They'll award you an academic scholarship</b> (if you qualify). </span></li>
<li><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You'll walk out, happy that you know at least one college's decision. </span></b></li>
</ol>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Easy, peasy, right? </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, if only we could get the name right...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, if you don't like waiting for stuff, <b>I invite you to attend</b> <b>this Friday, 11/30, from 9am-5pm</b>. <b><a href="mailto:admission@marymountpv.edu" target="_blank">RSVP here</a></b>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once upon a time, I went to college. In that age of yore, Facebook was still restricted to ".edu" email addresses, the iPad didn’t exist, and people actually drove to Blockbuster if they wanted to rent a movie. Still, even in that backward era of limited technology and entertainment options, there were one or two things I would rather be doing than dutifully studying for my final exams. In fact, I could probably list several hundred. But—as the bleary-eyed graduate students working as TAs in my classes kept reminding me—exams were important. Vital, even, if I intended to ever earn a diploma and a handshake from the President of the College (which my parents insisted would be vital to my job prospects. They were correct.) <br><br>That being said, I was a firm believer then—as I remain now—that during college you learn as much outside of the classroom as you do sitting in a lecture hall. In an effort to limit the time developing a peptic ulcer as I attempted to memorize the order of succession in the Ming dynasty (less vital to my job prospects), while maximizing my, ahem, “in-person social networking” (actually quite vital), I decided to devise a way to study smarter, so I could play “effectively maintain a balanced array of co-curricular experiences” longer. </span><br>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You know the number one thing that sets our generation apart from our parents?</span><br>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We enjoy the previews at movies. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">[Ok, maybe it isn't the number one thing, but opening a blog post with, "You know one of a myriad things that sets us apart from our parents," just doesn't have the same hook.]</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Think about it. We—the generation that was raised with a DVR, the generation who supposedly hates and innately mistrusts marketing—will intentionally sit through fifteen minutes of commercials before every movie we go to (I even play a preview game: each person in the group picks a number from one to five. The corresponding preview is a commentary on that person's life. Try it; it's hilarious). </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I remember my parents would always arrive late to movies in my youth, with the same excuse every time: "It's ok. At least we missed the previews." Not me. I want to see them. I get disappointed if I miss them. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ladies and gentlemen, it is near the end of October. That means it is time to begin completing your applications.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">...My condolences. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I applied to college, there was simply nothing I loathed quite as intensely as the act of actually applying. I HATED it. All caps.</span><br>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Part of it was the repetitiveness. There is only so many times a sentient being can be forced to type their zip code before the brain rebels. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Part of it was my naturally scatter-brained personality. I found it exceedingly difficult to sit at the computer and hack out an application when there were other pressing things I needed to take care of...like, football. Or homecoming. Or the new video game that just came out. Or watching my fingernails grow.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The majority of the reason I was so reluctant, however, was my mother (no offense, mom). As time progressed and my list of target colleges didn't, she became more and more "insistent" that I buckle down and apply. As a mature and wise 17-year-old, this drove me crazy. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br>"I know, mom! I have plenty of time," I maintained.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Until, suddenly, I didn't.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just a few weeks after our President <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=408143295915513" target="_blank"><b>took a fully-clothed jump into our swimming pool</b></a> to celebrate enrolling over 1000 students at Marymount (the highest number ever), yet another awesome milestone has been reached by the college.<br /><br />In addition to our Bachelor's and Associate Degrees, we now have two Master's degree programs pending WASC approval. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Woot, woot, and, I say again, woot. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes, ladies and gentlemen, in just a few short years we've gone from a two-year school of just over 400 students to a 1000-student school offering advanced degrees.* </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">*Pending WASC approval. (That's all I am required to write, but as a creative writing major I never get to write legal jargon, so: asterisk, italicized qualification, long parenthetical, habeus corpus, "we hold these truths to be self evident," <a href="http://images.starpulse.com/Photos/Previews/Legally-Blonde-2-m04.jpg" target="_blank">Reese Witherspoon</a>, "Hah-vad yahd", "You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!", yadda yadda.)</span></i></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How did we do it, you might ask? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">By being awesome (duh), and by constant attention to what makes Marymount College special: our students. We strive to live our mission of serving our students in every way possible, so when they expressed interest in completing a master's degree at Marymount, we bent over backwards to make sure that happened... </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">...And, boom! We delivered (asterisk, etc.) two awesome programs specifically tailored to our students' interests. Check them out below: </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We're starting enrollment for 2013 (asterisk, etc.) on March 1, ladies and gents. If you're interested, contact Kevin Grant, Director of Graduate Admission, at <b>kgrant</b> [at] <b>marymountpv</b> [dot] <b>edu</b>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">September is always a strange month for me. It's not really summer anymore, but the soft fuzzy glow of three months of beautiful weather and greatly decreased responsibility has yet to fade (and the angry red glow has yet to fade from my overexposed shoulders). <br><br></span><br>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The good news: the NAIA soccer season has started (go Mariners!), and football--glorious, amazing, lovely football--is back on T.V. Life is good.<br></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The bad news: life is about to get a whole lot more complicated.<br></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The mitigating news: that's probably a good thing. Complicated can be fun. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the admission world, September is a crazy month of launching our recruitment travel (look for us in a cafeteria/college center near you!), making sure our new students are settling in, and prepping to receive all the new applications.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In your world (assuming you're a high school senior) it's likely even crazier. The beginning of your last year of high school is a heady event. You're most likely adjusting to new classes, marveling at how young the freshmen look this year, cheering on your sports team (or lamenting their poor performance...), and planning for Homecoming. Most likely the last thing on your radar is, ironically, the <i>only</i> thing on our radar: college application season.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">...And that's OK.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gasp! The college admission dude said it's OK to not have college applications at the top of my list! Shenanigans!</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But it really is OK. <br><br>A: I'm a realist. I was once a senior, too.<br>B: Applying to college, like your senior year, is a long, complex process. Both will be stressful. Both will be rewarding. Both are best if taken at the right pace and approached with a serious, yet calm attitude. That's what we advocate: pace yourself and the whole thing will be easy. Fun, maybe (we can dream).</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, below are the college admission steps to check off in September so you can otherwise enjoy this glorious month--and the rest of your senior year.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The search for a college can be stressful, terrifying, and confusing—but most of life's truly rewarding events are. The biggest mistake you can make while searching for a college is to become overwhelmed and give up. Neither of us wants to run into each other at a drive-thru, right?</span><br>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So, above all, remember to persevere and keep the following "don'ts" in mind:</span><br>

If Ironman were to fly over our campus right now on his way to battle Loki's otherworldly army, he might assume that we had been the victim of an attack by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhbrLjcAPw0" target="_blank">The Langoliers</a>.<br>

<div>
(If there were any more nerdy references in that sentence, someone would find me and shove me into a locker.) </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Seriously, though, our campus looks like <i>Clifford the Big Red Dog</i> went on a search for the thigh bone of a Brachiosaur after we were hit by a direct blast from the spaceship in <i>Independence Day</i>. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
(It's dark in here. Let me out.)</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
The real reason, however, that our campus currently resembles where Harrison Ford could discover the glass skulls of an ancient alien race... </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
(Seriously, guys. This isn't funny anymore...)</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
...is that we are in the process of adding more parking, upgraded infrastructure, an athletic field, and I suspect a bunker for the upcoming zombie apocalypse.<br>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Appreciation of the power of the written (or texted, "tweeted," updated, emailed, or "Skyped") word, and also of the permanency of electronic communication is vital to one's social survival in the 21st century. </span><br>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br>
</span><br>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is also vital to your college admission prospects.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br>
</span><br>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have received so many egregious abuses of email correspondence from prospective students that I felt compelled to offer some friendly advice. Hopefully it will save you from some embarrassment (and me from developing an ulcer).</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A little about her: she's from Arizona, though she moved to California in high school. I don't blame her, because she has ruddy hair and most likely the sun-tolerance of a (non-glittering-type) vampire. She's petite, smart as a whip, and has a dry and understated sense of humor that often evokes delayed laughter when one finally catches up to the joke. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The feeling you get when you open your first college acceptance letter should be bottled. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's kind of like winning the lottery while riding a flying dolphin into a pastel sky of cotton candy clouds. At least, that was what it was like for me.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br>
</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sadly, we were unable to bottle the experience of pure joy (apparently Apple already owns the patent and is attempting to make it a standard feature on the iPhone9S), but we were able to channel its essence into our planning for Admitted Student Day this year.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ASD (appearing in shortened form to save me from developing carpal tunnel) is our celebration of your accomplishment. You're proud, we're proud of you, and we're proud to welcome you into our fall class. To reflect all that pride, we've planned an awesome day for you.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"><br>
That's a day in spring when you can preview our campus. Hence the name. </span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"><br>
Logical appellations aside, Spring Preview Day is truly "woot"-worthy because it represents one of your best (and last) formal opportunities to see all that Marymount has to offer. </span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"><br>
Oh yeah, </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">it's free</b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"> and </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">comes with two awesome meals</b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">—which is certainly reason enough for me (I like food). </span><br>

</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">In addition to eating, you can:</span><br>
<div style="text-align: left;"></div><ul><li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Meet our faculty<br>
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Get the insider secrets to earning admission into Marymount, and complete your application during another aptly named event—the "application workshop" (see what I did there?) </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Interview with your admission counselor</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Learn about our various degree programs</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Get all of your burning Financial Aid questions (the FAQs of FA, as it were) answered and file your FAFSA with the support of one of our Financial Aid team members. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Tour our awesome, townhouse-style residences</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Tell me how awesome my blog is and watch me blush (like a ripe strawberry on a warm spring day. ...Nummers.)</span></li>
