If Florida Colleges Were Halloween Candy

Because no one wants to go to the Whoppers school.

Tis the spooky season for comparing everything to Halloween Candy. This time it stretches beyond the prospect of horoscopes and T.V. characters into beloved Florida Universities.

Florida State University- Reese's

Ok, I'll admit I'm super biased on this one, but FSU is definitely a crowd pleaser like the classic Reese's. I mean, we had Chance the Rapper at our homecoming, the campus is beautiful, and our football team is always on point. The combinations themselves are iconic: chocolate and peanut butter, garnet and gold, Osceola and Renegade. So many dynamic duos here.


Rollins- Artisan Chocolates

I'm talking Lindor truffles, Godiva, Giradhelli squares, Dove minis; because if you can afford tuition at Rollins, you can afford to splurge on only the best treats. The private institution specializes in business degrees, so Tars will be spoiling the neighborhood kids with fancy candy long after they graduate.


University of Florida- Nerds

I don't really need to explain myself on this one. UF is aggressively the Wonka treat Nerds. Just like the bright packaging of the candy, they're in your face about it too. Nonetheless, they're still an enjoyable classic that many are happy to find sprinkled in their plastic Jack-O-Lanterns and pillowcases.


New College of Florida- Organic Candy

This private, liberal arts school is a force to be reckoned with. It boasts of the highest concentration of Fullbright Scholarships in the country. Still, upon touring it I couldn't help but notice the abundance of bare-footed students walking around carrying mason jars. Much like NCF students, this candy is very in touch with the Earth.


University of Central Florida- Everlasting Gobstoppers

UCF: U Can't Finish. Where it trails in four-year graduation rates it makes up for with an ever-growing student population, UCF matches the gobstopper in both abundance and, well, longevity.


University of Miami- Fireballs

It's only a little bit because of the Pitbull song. This school gets a little spicy when game day approaches, and much like the candy, is an acquired taste.


University of South Florida- Skittles

A chill candy. Not too expensive and echoes the diversity of USF. Nobody's mad at a nice pack of Skittles.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
