If Florida Colleges Were Girl Scout Cookies

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

If Florida Colleges Were Girl Scout Cookies

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
