The Best Friend Bucket List

1. Go bowling.

2. Do an impromptu road trip.

3. Watch a favorite movie together.

4. Go rollerblading.

5. Hit the beach.

6. Make a list of what might be different by the time he/she comes back.

7. Traipse through the woods, but don't get lost.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
