Lesson In Brevity

While working on my Simon application essays, I received the following note in the mail:

"Melisa,
Thanks a lot for the money. I really appreciate it. Can't wait to bug you about being so short. Miss you.
Love,
xxxx" -written by my cousin who recently graduated from high school

It made me smile as I was trying to make my own sentences concise and clear.

I think that every essay heading for review by the Simon Graduate Admissions Office should have a little touch of your input. If I may be so bold, I say each essay needs to be MiniMellified or at least have some MiniMellification prior to submission. =D
