If Florida Colleges Were Girl Scout Cookies

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

If Florida Colleges Were Girl Scout Cookies
Little Brownie Bakers

Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall? I prefer Girl Scout cookie season. Each cookie has it's own unique flavor profile that I think best accompanies the varying personalities of beloved Florida Colleges. All cookie details came straight from the "Meet the Cookies" page on the Girl Scout's website so the science is pretty much inarguable. Here's to you all being bombarded on your way into Publix for the next two months!

S'mores- Florida State University

A classic just like FSU. Founded in 1851, its campus is on the oldest continuous site of higher education in the state. FSU's International Program is also one of the top study abroad programs in the nation, and the love for s'mores takes on a global scale.

Caramel deLites/Samoas- Rollins College

Each box sold aims to teach the scouts fairness and business ethics, and what better institution to embody that than Rollins? Not only is it known for its business school but is also located in upscale Winter Park, FL, where many businesses flourish and people can buy all the cookies their heart desires.

Lemonades/Savannah Smiles- University of Florida

With each box of Lemonades sold a Girl Scout learns about goal setting. Gators are no stranger to ambition; organizing and working hard are a second nature. Paired with the money management goal of Savannah Smiles, the tangy treats form the recipe for future CEOs (Cookie Eating Officials) likely found in the Swamp.

Thin Mints- University of Miami

Money management is a crucial skill for the Hurricanes; the insane tuition mixed with living in a major city means lots of Ramen noodle nights. It will all pay off though, Miami is a major business hub, not to mention a party destination like no other. Let's be real: if you bring the Thin Mints, you bring the party.

Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs- University of South Florida

This classic combo promotes decision making and critical thinking skills with each box sold. Bulls are well versed in both, as their acclaimed medical program is quite demanding. Plus, Peanut Butter Patties, like the Tampa Bay area, are super underrated.

Shortbread/Trefoils- University of Central Florida

These cookies help the scouts learn people skills, a must for Knights living in the hub of tourist Florida. Likewise, UCF's hospitality program is one of the best in the country.

Gluten Free Cookies - New College of Florida

Gluten free cookies, like NCF, are very inclusive and progressive. This year's flavors, Chocolate Chip Trios and Toffee-tastic, leave no one out of the euphoria inside every box. Did people even know there were gluten free Girl Scout Cookies? Did people even know New College of Florida existed? Well, they do now.


Sure, bikini season is just around the corner, but my "spring break bod" includes at least three boxes.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
