Phoenix, Arizona
Sharina Bahía Luna BaptisteI lay in my bed dreading getting out of it. I just finished finals, so now I need to start touring colleges to see which one I like the most.
"Sharina!" my mamí yelled, her voice echoing throughout the house.
"Yes?" I replied, sleep taking over my eyes.
After a few minutes, I started to fall back asleep until I heard footsteps coming towards my door.
The door opened to my mom and her husband Taurus. They both stare at me with blank expressions.
"Get up Bahía, something came in the mail for you," she said in excitement, walking towards me.
I sat up on my bed, rubbing the tiredness out of my eyes.
"Here, here open it," she said nagging me.
I took the mall from her hand, opening it slowly. When I took it out the paper I looked up to see both of them staring at me with anticipation, ready for me to read whatever was in the mail.
"Congratulations, It is with great pleasure that I inform you of your acceptance to the program at Grand Canyon University. You have been given this opportunity in recognition of your personal and scholastic achievements," it read.
This is my 5th acceptance letter to a college I applied to. I'm very surprised that I made it to these colleges, I'm dumb as hell.
"I got accepted to another college." I said in a mocking voice, copying my mother.
"Oh my God Bahía! I'm so proud of you, this is your 5th time getting accepted they must love you," she said yelled, giving me hugs and kissing.
"Good job, lil bit." my stepdad said, walking towards me to kiss my forehead.
"Thank you," I replied.
"You need to get up so we can tour some colleges but first we need to go to Tía's house to pick up your cousin," she said walking up to Taurus, kissing all over his face.
"Okay," I said seeing them leave the room.
Getting out of bed, I slowly walk to my bathroom, yawning. Going to the sink I do the typical hygiene.
'My skin always gon eat' I thought rubbing moisturizer on my face.
I get in the shower using my vanilla and coffee essentials. I want to smell like a dessert and get eaten.
