Tips on how to throw your RAJAH ideal graduation party

DREW AFUALO SPORTS EDITOR

The end of the school year is upon us here at the Uni- versity of Hawai‘i, and for some, there is a celebration commemorating the bittersweet release from the endless papers and all-nighters: graduation. Whether you are ﬁ nally free of school-related responsibilities and heading into the world of being a “real” adult or you’re going back into more school (because you may or may not hate yourself), you should celebrate this momentous accomplishment. Whether you’re more of a small get together or “Project X” style rager kind of person, here are some tips on how to throw your perfect graduation party. Also, remember that if you do consume alcohol to always enjoy responsibly.

The gradual  incline that leads up to the arch is the least difficult part of the hike. KOKO HEAD REESE KATO / ASSOCIATE PHOTOS EDITOR The Koko Head Crater Arch hike is located along Kalaniana‘ole Highway between Hanauma Bay and Sandy Beach Park. You can park at one of the few spaces along the highway or in the Hā lona Blowhole Lookout parking lot. The initial hike is approximately .2 miles from the parking lot. You go along a slight slope until you get to the arch, which can be dangerous because of its aggressive angle. Most hikers stop there, but my group of friends decided to go beyond the arch. The trail along the ridge leads to the pillboxes of the Koko Crater Railway Trail, which is accessed from Koko Head District Park.

 Getting on top of the arch is dangerous due to a steep angle and slippery rocks.

 After resting at the pillboxes, hikers can choose to go back along the ridge or down the old railroad track to Koko Head District Park. KA LEO O HAWAI‘I: THE VOICE MONDAY, MAY 09, 2016 27
