Introducing Michaelanne(gelo), Our Newest Student Blogger

• Quintessentially Quirky
• A red-head in denial
• Emphatically Anti-Skin Cancer (or pro-sunscreen, depending on how you want to spin it)
• Curious (and also Collegiate)
• Coffee Aficionado
• Believer in Carpe[ing] Diems
• Student of the Globe (and Money)
• Generally Awesome

The preceding list is but a scanty preview of our witty and well-red student blogger Michaelanne. She's "attempting, as many have before her, to chronicle the curious life of a college student." She's doing a pretty darn good job.


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. 


Her blog, The Curious Collegiate, is about her experience here at Marymount, and is definitely worth a read. Check it out here. 

Admitted Student Day (April 15th), and "A Day in the Life of a Marymount Student" - Straight From the Students Themselves

I was a Marymount Student once upon a time, but it's been...a while. When I attended, Facebook was not nearly as cool as Myspace, "Yeah" by Usher and Lil' John was the top song on the radio, nobody had ever heard of an iPhone, and Justin Bieber was in 4th grade (isn't he still?).

Yes, kiddies, I'm old. 

Aside from being a depressing reminder that I am officially a "grown up," my graduation to the real world means that I am not the most up-to-date reference for what it is actually like to be a student at Marymount. Though my job gives me a pretty good "official" idea, dig a little deeper and I'm likely to start talking about archaic things like Playstation 2® and cargo shorts. So, instead, I'm going to leave it to the experts: our current students. 

This Friday, April 15th, we're hosting our Admitted Student Day. Specific details will follow at the end of this post (tease!), but the idea is that our admitted students will be offered the opportunity to see what it is actually like to attend Marymount. You can meet your prospective classmates, get to know our staff and faculty, and talk candidly with current Marymount students about their experience here.
