Why being a twin is awesome.

5 Things Twins Can Relate
Michelle Beliveau

Not everybody can say that they have a sibling. Especially, the fact that their sibling is their twin. Being a twin has a lot of perks. That being, said there a lot of things that come with being a twin. Some things are pretty amazing. The others, are just a bit annoying.

5. We do not have "twin powers."


Contrary to many thoughts out there, we cannot read each other’s thoughts. I only know what she is feeling, because typically my 5 foot one inch other half is more than happy to share them. We are sorry to disappoint the world, but if we could read each other’s minds we probably could have avoided half of the arguments we have had over the years. We also cannot use our twin powers to move objects, control minds, etc. We cannot use these powers, because we do not have any. Sorry to disappoint.

4. We are our own separate individuals

Yes, we were “wombmates” until our mother evicted us. Then we became roommates in the real world until we grew up. However, we have a lot of separate opinions, personality quirks, and even clothing style. Our lives are not like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. For the majority of our lives, we have always been able to be identified as two separate human beings. Except for birthdays. For whatever reason, birthday gifts from distant relatives, friends, etc. have a tendency to be for the both of us. We are grateful for them, do not get us wrong. However, there only so many ways we can share a sweater, shoes, or even that time when we five when someone gave us a toy airplane to share. People have a tendency to forget that there are two beings. We might share a birthday, but we are each one of a kind. We enjoy doing our own things most of the time. However, we know that we have each other’s backs at any given moment.

3. It has been awesome to have a wing-man (or woman).

There is always that dread of going to an event, solo. However, when you are a twin you usually can count on that person to be your plus one. To weddings, showers, and parties, your twin will always make sure you do not go in solo. This help eliminates the worry of trying to find someone to go with to events. Need a road trip buddy? Call your twin. Want to go to dinner at your favorite restaurant? Offer you twin food, she’ll be there. Your other half will always be there.

2. You will always have someone to walk through life with

Not everyone is lucky enough to have someone to share milestones with. This is one of the many perks to having a twin. We have shared triumphs, failures, etc. together. We had each other to lean on when things got tough. Or even when we got ourselves in trouble from shenanigans- at least we knew we were both going down for it. When we started college, it was scary. However, we always had someone that understood what was going on. Despite the fact that one was two hours away. We always knew that we had support.

1. There will never be another person who gets us like, well us.


Despite every argument, items thrown at each other’s faces, scream fest, there will never be another individual that will get our dynamic like we do. We can go from yelling to laughing in ten seconds. Having a twin is never dull moment. You always have someone to laugh with or at. Your twin is the only one who can judge you and accept you for every weird quirk that makes you, your wonderful self.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
