I really can't say I'm surprised California ranked so low in terms of having the best (or should I say worst) quality of life. Although people act like the lifestyle in
Cali is amazing, it's not. What with the traffic, the high AF cost of living, and...THE TRAFFIC (did I already say that?) people couldn't be all that happy living there.
Unless you live in New Jersey you probably don't know much about this state. I know I don't. All I know is that "The Jersey Shore" was filmed there and JWOWW and
Do you know what a "hoosier" originally meant? Neither do I, but apparently the nickname was intended as an insult to those from Indiana. They've embraced the title since then,
I'm actually really surprised Texas is so low on this list. Everyone I talk to seems to love Texas. Of course, I've never been a fan (the south isn't for
The East Coast makes me want to cry. Sorry, but it does! Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of history in Pennsylvania, and the buildings and architecture are pretty,
I couldn't imagine living in Nevada. Being so close to Las Vegas sounds like a bad idea. I bet people who live there see some sights and maybe even find
Sure, it was home to a bunch of our early presidents, but Virginia, despite some occasionally nice days, is very gloomy. And those gloomy states are typically low in quality
Phoenix is beautiful...during the winter months. But once summer hits, those temperatures rise drastically; making this state an absolute nightmare. That, and the lax gun laws and messy politics, probably
How is Hawaii not higher up on this list?? Don't the people who live there just surf, look at sunsets, and eat shit from coconuts all day? How are they not
I'm not trying to shame a group of people or anything, but I went to North Carolina once and the people were crazy mean. Maybe I just had an off experience or
Georgia is one of my favorite states! It's incredibly affordable but still very culturally diverse. And there are a ton of amazing opportunities for young professionals.
The job market in Maryland is LIT. What I mean is, the economy in this state is probably the best out of any state. No wonder people have smiles on their
South Carolina has plenty of beaches. BUT, the water doesn't light a candle to the water in Hawaii or the Bahamas. So... why live there if it's nothing like the
Michigan is a solid state. There's so much natural beauty. The weather, when it's not pouring down snow, is gorgeous. And the lakes are just SNATCHED. Forget The Hamptons, go to
Hunting is a surprisingly a big deal in Kentucky. And as someone who's not obsessed with hunting (sorry if you disagree), I don't think you'll see me roaming the hills of
This small state has some of the biggest cities with the coolest vibes. When I say "big" I don't really mean "big big" because this state is barely 50 miles long.
Washington must be filled with some happy people. Why do I say that? Because according to this study, people curse less in Washington than in any other state. FU*K that's impressive.
Alaska is breathtaking and it's not as remote as people think. The landscape makes it look like no one really lives there, but as of last year, the population was
A couple of years ago it seemed like everyone I knew was moving to Oregon. I didn't get it. And after hearing so much about this state, I did some research.
The state is filled with countrymen, riding around in pick up trucks, and eating bbq. Oklahoma is a Christian loving, close-knit state where people have to go to "the city" (aka Oklahoma
Kansas is an incredibly welcoming state. People are happy there! Plus, Kansas City has a very low cost of living. You can live there for cheap and the downtown area
The only thing I know about Nebraska is that the weather is messy. One minute it's raining and the next minute it's sunny. Any place like that is a place
Nothing but wide open spaces in this state. Which would personally drive me crazy, but people must be happy being far, far away from their neighbors. You know what? Maybe I
Why is Maine the place to be? Two words. One person. Stephen King. Not only was he born there but most of the characters from his books are from Maine. Oh,
Colorado should be number one on this list. The people are friendly, the towns are trendy, and you get the best of both worlds; wide open spaces and hip downtown spots. It's
Albuquerque, New Mexico is home to the hot air balloon festival you probably see Instagram pictures of all the time! While I wouldn't physically get into a hot air balloon,
South Dakota is all about friends and family! Seriously, if you live here you probably experience some of the nicest people in the entire world. No wonder you're so happy.
I'm actually not surprised about this one. People LOVE Minnesota. I don't know how, that place is freezing. But I guess the amazing quality of life is worth dealing with those
