Being a twin is not all it's cracked up to be

10 Things All Twins Can Relate To
Gianne Karla Tolentino

I've always had something interesting to say when people asked if I have siblings. Why yes, I do. I have a twin. But after almost 18 years, I try and state this casually, if it all. I love being a twin but it's not all it's cracked up to be. So here's to 10 things all twins can relate to.

1. People Always Ask What It's Like Having A Twin

Something just happens when you mention you have a twin. You magically become a mystical being and everyone wants to know what it's like. Meanwhile, it's just like having a sibling who is the same age as you.

2. People Question If You're Actually Twins

My favorite. Not. Strangers, and friends alike decide to point out your differences and then say "are you sure your twins?" Nah, it's all an illusion. I'm really just lying to you.

3. You're Constantly Asked About "Twin Telepathy"

You have given the "there's no such thing as twin telepathy speech" a million times. Sorry, it doesn't exist. We don't have a hive mind.

4. Saying Things In Unison And Freaking Out Everyone

This is just pure coincidence, but you'd think we'd just performed a magic trick. Twins always get looks after talking in sync. It goes away. We promise.

5. You’ve Worn Matching Outfits At Least Once

This can be mom's doing or just yours by accident. Just be warned it doesn’t happen on a regular basis. But of course, there are photos to prove it.

6. You're Always Being Called By Your Sibling's Name

We'll definitely respond to the wrong name. We can't fight it anymore. But please if you can, remember to differentiate. We are two different individuals.

7. People Comment On Your Different Personalities

It may seem like a fun list to you, but I've heard it all before. I know we have different personalities and interests. It could even be because we're two separate people.

8. Everyone Asks Who's Older

Is this even a relevant question?

9. You've Grown Up Sharing Nearly Everything With Your Twin


From the womb to bedrooms, toys and friends. It's all fair game here. C'est la vie.

10. You Rolled Your Eyes On Twin Day At School

I get it, it’s a catchy trend. Just a reminder though that "twinning" isn’t exactly wearing the same shirt as your friend. You have to be pretty special to be a real twin.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
