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!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
