The National Society Of Leadership And Success

77

We build leaders, who make a better worldWe help build your dreams

"If you want to learn how to be a successful leader and gain important knowledge and skills that will be of necessity in your near future, you should think about joining the society!" says Natasha N. of Northeastern University. 

The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) is an organization that has over 300 chapters across the United States. Recently, this group established itself at Florida State University with a mission to promote professional development, leadership, peer to peer mentoring and networking. NSLS was officially registered as of 2013 and is a truly unique organization.
NSLS believes that if a person has the passion, they have the potential. That is what the organization specifically thrives on: harnessing that potential and helping students to channel it. We want to help build you into the leader that you can be. William S. commented, "It is designed to guide those students who have raw leadership ability, but often no outlet to purse it. It creates better leaders for the world, tomorrow." 
As an organization, we provide the necessary steps to help students find their passion and help achieve their goals. Each month we have seminars held by successful individuals, called “speaker broadcasts.” Kevin Bracy, Rudy Giuliani, Hilary Duff, Blake Mycoskie and Jim Cramer have been previous guests. The broadcasts are specifically for the society and speak directly to us. We have SNTs, or Success Networking Teams, that are composed of chapter members and their team leaders. Success Networking Team leaders are chapter members who are not on the executive board. This position provides more leadership opportunities within the organization. The SNTs are designed so that students can network within the group and help each other overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

The National Society of Leadership and Success gives students the tools to make their dreams become a reality. Each student, once initiated, is offered exclusive job opportunities in the national's job bank, links to past speakers, exclusive scholarships and success coaching.

I have had the honor of serving on the first executive board with some truly inspirational people. Our executive board is full of diverse and creative minds. We worked together to form this incredible organization and tackled all of the hurdles as a team. No matter what our position, we helped each other, which really shows the leadership within this group. We just want to see each other and the organization succeed. 
Our executive board is made up of many ambitious students. Rachel Houston is our president and founder, and also a member of Kappa Delta sorority. Matt Galligan is our Vice President. Joe Rock is a junior serving as our Society Events Chair and is a brother of Kappa Sigma. Madeline DuPlessis is a sophomore in Zeta Tau Alpha serving as our Publicity Chair. Callan Roten is a member of Phi Mu serving as our Secretary. Rachel Sticco is a Kappa Delta and our Treasurer. Jean Tabares is our SNT Coordinator and a member of Pi Kappa Alpha. Tiffany Song is our Fundraising Chair and Mitchell Paulk is our Social Events Chair. Contact us if you have any questions about NSLS!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.
