Camila POV:

Beep beep beep!
"Alexa! Turn off my alarm" I groaned getting up from bed to start off my day. Opening up my curtains to bring some light into the room. I love natural light.

Today is the day. I'm going on a three day cruise to the Bahamas for my eighteenth birthday. All my girl friends are coming too. We're going to have an amazing trip because no parents are going and this is our one final hurrah before departing our own ways and going off to college. Most of my friends I know are going to FSU as well. Florida state university. I can't believe it.

Walking into my en suite bathroom; my best friends and I just moved into a three bedroom three bathroom near the school because we didn't want to share a bathroom or spend a lot of money on a small confined space so we opted on getting an apartment together. So far it's been worth it.

I open my glass shower door, take a quick shower, shave everything and blow dry my hair. I have naturally dark brown curly hair and having naturally curly hair and living in Florida do not mix well together. Your hair can be beautiful and curled in the morning and then by the end of the day it becomes a frizzy poofy mess.

Putting on some simple natural makeup, concealer, powder foundation, bronzer, brush, highlighter. And obviously, the most important step mascara. It makes you look awake and gives you this fresh look and brings out your eyes. And also because I have long eyelashes. As long as you can still see my freckles it's natural to me.

Duh I have to look hot as shit. You never know who you'll meet right?

Walking into my closet, I decided on light washed jean high waisted shorts and a white tank crop top to show my belly button piercing. I'm wearing a black cheeky bathing suit underneath so it's easier to jump straight in the pool instead of having to change later. And my trustee checkered vans.

Making sure I have everything packed and ready to go, I walk out and head into our kitchen. We don't have a normal apartment either. We live in an expensive one that has a great amount of living space.

Opening the white cabinets and putting down my mug on the white marble counter top, trying to pick between tea and coffee.

It may be Friday but I still need my caffeine.

Only a little bit too, I don't want to trigger any anxiety symptoms. And the winner is coffee.

Cafe con Leche never hurt anybody. (Coffee with milk)

I think.

"Alexa, play viral Latino on Spotify" I chirp opening the fridge to take out my silk caramel almond creamer for my coffee. I know I said cafe con leche and that shit is delicious but I'm lactose intolerant and I stay away from anything dairy besides some cheese because I've tried dairy free cheese and it tasted fucking disgusting.

So a little gas is ok, ok? Ok.

Titi me pregunto by Bad Bunny starts playing... if you're PuertoRican like me then you must love bad bunny like I do. His music is just great to dance and jam to. Or any music really. I love to dance and I've been dancing for as long as I can remember.

"Buenos Dias" screamed my beautiful roommate Melanie. Melanie Hernandez. Also known as my best friend since the third grade. She's Hispanic like me, 5'1 blonde straight shoulder length hair, and looks like an American but acts one hundred percent Cuban. Loud and proud.
