Even amongst all the bad news you see, I always like to think that most Americans have a big heart. The U.S. actually ranks pretty high globally when it comes to giving back!Donating to local charities not only helps others but also brings communities closer together. Some states really shine, though, sharing what they have to make a difference. A recent study ranked states based on volunteer rates, donations, and food banks per capita.

For many people in America, college is the first time you get away from your parents and live on your own. I had a blast in college, making new friends, experiencing a new city, going to concerts and art shows, and learning more about the world.
