WILL KRISS'S​
HIGHLIGHTS:
The general meetings were definitely my favorite part of the White Dream era. Going through a period of transition from small club to big club, the general meetings were the main time we got to interact and entertain the majority of JSA. I really like to think that we made our general meetings unique and exciting every week. It's hard to narrow it down, but some of my favorite things we did were: rats being thrown at me, laser pointer, eating a whole thing of cabbage, T-posing for way too long, and punishment jan-ken-pon. I absolutely loved the energy at the meetings and I think that's where we as a board shined the brightest.
​
ADVICE FOR FUTURE JSA:
There are two main responsibilities or elements or whatever you want to call it for being on JSA board. The first is obviously making stuff happen. You can plan it all out beforehand or learn how to do it on the fly, but you have a responsibility to make things actually happen. The second element is creative direction. JSA is weird. Not in like a "society doesn't understand me" weird, but a fun, do things out of the box type of way. Be creative. Try to do things differently. The worst thing you can be is boring.
Now none of this is going to happen without your passion. Find what you're passionate about and find a way to bring it into JSA. Keep in mind that what you want to do needs to be for the best of the club, but the club won't strive unless you fully believe in what you're doing. If you're passionate about what you're doing for the club, it will show and you'll be able to go above and beyond.
