Dear Diary,
When I was living in the United States as an undergraduate long long time ago, I had this habit of listing state's nicknames. I listed them by looking at license plates, postcards, signboards, etc. Some of you might say, wouldn't it easier to just find it in the net. Well, I guess where would the challenge and fun be, right?
There are 50 states altogether in the US. Out of 50, I managed to list down only 17 states correctly. I jot down the list here for my keepsake...
