17 Signs You're A Hawaii Basic

Of all the different types of basic b's in the country, the Aloha State's basics are, hands down, the best.

They don't brunch, they beach. They sip on coconut water instead of PSLs and, while you'll rarely catch them wearing Uggs, they'll rock the cheeks off a Brazilian bikini.

Their FOMO-inducing Snapchats and Latergrams will have you wondering if their life is as perfect as they make it seem. And chances are, it is.

Below, 17 signs you're lucky enough to be a Hawaii basic.

1. You can't end a hike or beach day without an obligatory yoga photo.
