If Florida Colleges Were Girl Scout Cookies

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
