The author's comments:
This was something that a former friend and I made together a few summers ago. I've kept it over the years and recently stumbled across it again. I know there's grammatical and spelling errors, but I purposely didn't correct them because this was the original list. I am sad to say that we never really did any of these things together. Looking at it now brings back so many memories. I know it may not be poetry...it may not even be considered writing at all, but it's a true depiction of friendship, fun, and the 'joys' of being a teenager.

Love your bucket list! I'd love to some of the things on here. It reminded me of things my friends and I would promise to do in the summer. It was nostalgic yet bittersweet.
