“How on earth can you make emails fun?” you’re thinking.

For many people, being a student and working are not mutually exclusive.

Do you feel like you have to fake it while at work everyday? No one can be happy all the time, so should you feel like you have to be happy or in a good mood while you are at work?

The list places North Dakota in position 1, Alaska in position 2, Wyoming in 3, and puts Texas at 4. Then, on the other end, West Virginia is in position 50, New Mexico at 49, and Rhode Island at 48.
