8 Things Every Twin Can Relate To

It's like "Parent Trap" but absolutely nothing like "Parent Trap."

8 Things Every Twin Can Relate To
The Berlots

"Oh my God, you have a twin?" The inevitable reaction to the revelation that I do indeed have a sibling, just a sibling I share a birthday with. The faces are usually pretty funny, too, especially when my sister is standing right there and whoever is speaking thinks we're just friends who sort of oddly look alike (I'm not even lying, I've heard that before). Being a twin is kind of great (your closet automatically DOUBLES), but there are some...annoying aspects that come along with it. Regardless, there are just somethings that any twin can relate to.

1. "So can you guys, like, read each other's minds?"

By far my favorite question. No, twins can't literally read each other's minds. But we can totally read each other's minds. It kind of goes with being around someone nearly every moment of their existence.

2. Accidentally twinning is the most annoying thing possible.

After being dressed alike for nearly the first decade of your lives, your styles eventually branch out. Not to say that you don't accidentally come down the stairs and realize you both are in the exact same color scheme, or you both decided to wear those boots that were too cute to forbid one of you from buying.

3. "You're identical, right?"

Just because you're a twin doesn't mean you're identical. Though you're going to mix us up anyway, so why are we even having this conversation? I'm almost positive a psychological condition exists that renders someone unable to tell two people apart once he or she finds out said two people are related. I've seen it in action.

4. Every teacher ever messed you two up.

In one of my elementary school classes, we both had to respond to my name. And it didn't end in elementary school, or even in high school for that matter; my sister and I had the same professor for different classes and he was convinced we were the same person for the half of the semester.


5. You learned to respond to your twin's name.

It wasn't by choice, you just had to do it after the 100th time correcting someone.

6. Sharing everything.

A birthday, classes, probably a room. Needless to say, when everyone was freaking out about having to share a room for the first time in college, you were already a seasoned pro.

7. "Which one is the evil one?"

I'm sorry, do you have a particularly evil sibling you'd like to share with the audience? No? Wow, neither do I.

8. You've got a built-in best-friend for life.

They'll drive you crazy sometimes, but you can't imagine life without them.

Honorary Roommate

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
