I Asked Over 50 Of My Friends Which U.S. State Should Run The World, And Here's What They Think

I was recently up rather late and decided to post a "Reply Snap" to my Snapchat story. I wanted to know what U.S. state people think should run the world. It was the Saturday night before classes, so I trusted that many of my friends were either buzzed or at least on some crackhead energy. Still, I only expected a handful of responses. Much to my surprise, over 50 people replied!

Here are the responses:

1. Alabama: 0

No surprise here.

2. Alaska: 0

3. Arizona: 1

Something about the folks being granola.

4. Arkansas: 0

5. California: 6

Nothing wrong with wanting a progressive, tree-hugging world!

6. Colorado: 4

I have never been to Colorado but it must make one heck of an impression because I only know one person that lives there!

7. Connecticut: 1

8. Delaware: 0

9. Florida: 7

It is worth noting that many of these people are simply interested in the chaos that would ensue. However, one person mentioned that since Florida has such a large older population, they may bring a lot of wisdom to the table.

10. Georgia: 0

11. Hawaii: 3

12. Idaho: 2

13. Illinois: 2

14. Indiana: 0

15. Iowa: 0

16. Kansas: 1

17. Kentucky: 0

18. Louisiana: 0

19. Maine: 4

20. Maryland: 0

21. Massachusetts: 2

22. Michigan: 0

23. Minnesota: 1

24. Mississippi: 0

25. Missouri: 0

26. Montana: 0

27. Nebraska: 0

28. Nevada: 0

29. New Hampshire: 0

30. New Jersey: 0

31. New Mexico: 0

32. New York: 4

33. North Carolina: 0

34. North Dakota: 1

35. Ohio: 7

Disclaimer: a large chunk of my friends live in Ohio and they have definitely drank the Kool-Aid!

36. Oklahoma: 0

37. Oregon: 2

38. Pennsylvania: 2

39. Rhode Island: 1

40. South Carolina: 0

41. South Dakota: 0

42. Tennessee: 1

43. Texas: 4

44. Utah: 0

45. Vermont: 2

I, personally, would choose Vermont. When I think of Vermont I think of wokeness, granola, and overall just good vibes. Though I have never actually been to Vermont, I hear excellent things.

46. Virginia: 0

47. Washington: 2

48. West Virginia: 0

49. Wisconsin: 1

50. Wyoming: 0

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
