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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
