Twitter has it all!

Check out some of the best retweets I could find on my feed!

These are some of the cool things I could find with in my Twitter Feed:

So very proud of my very own high school , and how they have progressed since the time of my attendance. I am glad to see that they are going with in the right direction as far as graduation rates ,and post secondary education enrollment. #JRLA2K15

With these week being finals week, sometimes it is hard to get everything that you need to under control. Sometimes you just have to cry it out, and hope for better days. I believe that I am overly stressed with all of these classes. This would be the most perfect idea to incorporate in all schools , especially during finals week.

Sometimes Marcelo just knows the right things to say, at the right time. This is something that I need personally as motivation as I go on about my day . I have to absolutely start thinking as my self as a success.

 

May I have waffles with a side of murder, please?

Family of Blue and White take over Downtown Detroit: Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated  Conclave 2K17

During this past summer, for the first time in 17 years we were able to host the Phi Beta Sigma Conclave in the city of Detroit. The roads were paved of blue and white , along with our illustrious sister sorority, the ladies of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.

They served a great help to our brotherhood, by helping register for events, orchestrating several activities, and other things of that sort. This was definitely a blue and white take over for the books.  Take a look below:

This Conclave allowed us to remember the brotherhood that we vowed our lives too. Being completely submerged in the culture or this great fraternity, allowed each brother around to continue to uphold our motto, ” Culture for service, service for humanity”.

Myles Aggregation of Social Media

My name is Myles Barnes, and I am currently on just about all of the major social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, SnapChat, and Instagram. I usually only post things about my daily life , or things that I am currently doing at the moment. These are some of the profiles of my social media:

Twitter @(Mylesbarnes618)

For my Twitter you will mostly find some of my wild thoughts, pictures of things that i had found comical on social media, or just others people tweets that I had found interesting.

Facebook @(Myles Barnes)

Facebook is a platform where i usually give my all of my inner thoughts too; I stay in contact with many people in which I had a past with such as old teachers, students, and old friends. I have found Facebook to be a place where I am comfortable to vent and express some of my most deepest feelings and comments about things I may be thinking of at the time.

Instagram and Snapchat is where you will usually find the comical side of me. I usually post things that I am doing currently on snapchat with friends, frat, or family, while Instagram I use it best to post that memories that I would like to last. Although very similar, I have found that I am very particular as to what I post on each social media site.
