This past month I realized that in order for a new chapter to begin, you must close the current one. Growing-up is a scary process because change and the unknown is scary; but it so exciting because the future is endless.
As you noticed, I have been MIA for the past month, and it was because one huge, important part of my life had taken over: my sorority. I am a proud sister, and now alumna, of Phi Mu Fraternity. Don't be confused because I used sorority and fraternity to describe my organization. Phi Mu was founded in 1852, before the term "sorority" was even created, so Phi Mu is considered "a fraternity for women".
I have been apart of this amazing organization since Fall '10 and on May 4th, 2014, I went through a ceremony that declared me an alumna of Phi Mu. Sisters who go alum are sisters who are either graduating college or have accomplished four years. What does this all mean? Pretty much: your time is up, time to move on, let go, and time to grow up.
Phi Mu has been such a huge aspect of my life and it was, still is, extremely tough for me to realize it's time for me to let go of this chapter and begin a new one. I am not worried thought because my next chapter is looking amazing!
-I will be starting my summer marketing/PR internship with a local nonprofit.
-Next semester, I will serve on Fresno State's PRSSA E-Board as the Special Events Coordinator and Fresno State's student-tun PR firm, TALK, E-Board as Director of Public Relations.
-But most importantly: GRADUATION IS NEXT SPRING!
Joining a sorority was the best thing that could ever happen to me and going alum was a huge moment for me. It made me realize the future is here and you can't stop it. All you can do is take it on head first. Embrace it. Take chances and don't be afraid. You can't grow unless you takes risks and step out of your comfort zone. This past month was a huge moment for me, and even though I am a little scared, I feel prepared for my future.
Have you ever had a "oh wow, I'm really growing up" moment? A moment when you realized things are changing? I want to hear about them! Leave a comment or chat with me over Twitter. Until next time, keep dreaming!
