My Interest about Rhode Island
To be honest, I'm mostly curious about why is the state being so depressed. This state feels miserable and depressed probably since 9.46% of the population had at least one depressive episode last year and was the 4th ranked state in the most depressive state list. Did you know that RI was ranked fifth for the states who have the biggest drug problems? At first glance, you might think this state is really lively and has a briny theme but if you dig deeper into this state, this could change you're mind
