So basically, six of some of my closest girlfriends all live in a house together and I’m the non-rent-paying-roommate that crashes on the couch wayyy too often, but I bring a bottle or two of wine and it somehow evens things out. Well, they made a summer bucket list 2012 and I’m a little jealous and inspired… so I’ve set out to make my own Summer Bucket List but Hawaii version to get the most out of my experience here… I’ve been meaning to post it, so I may have done a few of these already haha but here goes my top thirty things I need to accomplish on this adventure I’ve taken living by myself on an island for the next couple months.
