For the last few months, I've been working for my sorority Delta Phi Epsilon (DPhiE) as a Collegiate Development Consultant or CDC for short. What that means is that I have been in charge of creating a new chapter at California State University, Los Angeles.

When I first got this job, I was extremely excited! I graduated from St. John's two years ago and one of the things I really missed about college life was my sisters. A majority of my sisters live on the East Coast, and I did not know too many on the West Coast, which is probably because the only active chapter close by was all the way up in Humboldt, California. But once I found out that they were going to open a chapter only 30 minutes away from me, I knew I wanted to somehow be part of this. So I applied to be a CDC, I thought it was a long shot but much to my surprise I got the job!

Since July, I've been working to start this chapter from the ground up. Luckily, I was not alone. I had a great team to help and support me along the way. We started with nothing, but with some hard work and a lot of persistence there ended up being 82 members of this founding class. Every single woman I met was amazing in her own special way. After getting all these women together, it was my job to introduce them to this great sisterhood of ours. They started as a colony and had to put in a lot of work to become recognized as a chapter. It within nine weeks, they learned everything they needed to know about the sorority. We met two to three times a week and at each meeting, they were curious and full of questions. Even though our meetings were generally serious all the time, they managed to bring in some fun and silly moments. We even got to share a couple laughs.

Their hard work paid off, last night they were officially chartered as the Zeta Eta chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon and each and every single one of these ladies were initiated as sisters.

In fact there was a big party to celebrate this momentous occasion. At Cal State LA, the Founders plus their friends and family members plus some local alumnae were all there to celebrate this huge accomplishment. It was a fun night, full of happiness and a lot of smiles.

But the real fun starts now for these ladies. Transitioning from a colony to a new chapter will be difficult, but I know in my heart that every single one of them is a strong and driven woman. When they have their mind made up, they do not give up easily. No matter what obstacles they have, they will persevere. Not just because they are the Founders but because these ladies are capable and they are going to do great things. I am so proud and honored that I get to call each and every single one of these women my sisters.

I know this post was a bit sappy, but it came straight from the heart. If you want to know more about the Zeta Eta chapter of DPhiE, follow their journey on Instagram at @CSULADPHIE.

Until tomorrow.

Throughout my life, I've had many dream jobs. When I was in 5th grade, I wanted to be a singer. Then when I learned I was tone deaf, I wanted to be a lawyer. Then I wanted to be a politician, an actress, a teacher, and so on and so forth.

But then I discovered my talent for writing and I wanted to be a writer. They're are so many forms of writing out there. Novelists, screenwriters, journalists, oh my! Well I ruled out all the creative writing jobs because I do not have a creative bone in my body, so I decided on journalism, which is something I enjoy. I enjoyed it so much that I deiced to study it when I went to university.

While studying journalism, I realized I did not enjoy writing about the news. So newspapers and broadcast were a definite no for me. So, I drifted more to the entertainment side. I enjoy pop culture and I certainly enjoy writing about it. Back in school I certainly thought I was going to be an entertainment reporter or even a publicist, because I took a couple public relations classes and I really enjoyed them.

I always pictured myself working for a magazine, simply because I love magazines. I love the look, the feel, the words, and just everything about them. Maybe my love for the movie, The Devil Wears Prada influenced my love for magazines and the environment.

But when I graduated from St. John's, I didn't have a job lined up waiting for me. This is because I was uncertain with what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. So I decided to dabble in some other kinds of journalism. There was a point where I wanted to be a sports writer, a beauty writer, a DIY/craft writer, a travel writer, a photographer, a music writer, a fashion writer, a Youtube vlogger, and etc.

I went back and forth trying to decide what to do while I was working a job that I hated. But this job taught me one important lesson after I graduated, I certainly did not want to be a legal assistant.

My point is I am an indecisive person, and I have no clear idea of what I want to do. I have a variety of interests that I would enjoy writing about. I'm lucky, I'm young and I have a chance to experiment with what my possible future career could be.

But in this moment in time, and I had the chance to pick any job in the world it would be a travel writer. Simply because I love to travel and I enjoy seeing new places. To be able to write about far away places and what they have to offer and capture it all in photographs would truly be a dream come true.

But with my decisiveness that can always change. So who knows what I'll be dreaming about next week. The point is, you should never stop dreaming about what you can do. The possibilities are endless. There's so much out there in this big old world of ours, so why not sample it all?

Shout out to my friend Jorge (@thatcoffeelord) for making this super awesome picture of me! Thanks for reading about my ramblings and until next time.
