First, in the HTML, the href doesn't need extra brackets around it. It should look like this:

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>List Example</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
  </head>
  <body>

    <a class="social-links" href="#">Follow me on Twitter!</a>
    <a class="social-links" href="#">Send me an Email!</a>

  </body>
</html>

In the CSS, there is no need for that "h1" tag. Just remove that entire line of HTML code entirely.
