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

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

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more
