13 Basic Questions Twins Hear Over And Over
Lex Olson

1. "Are you identical or fraternal?"

If you are a twin you can definitely relate to this one because I'm 99.9% positive that it comes up almost immediately after people find out you have a twin.

2. "Are you guys like best friends?"

We argue just like any other siblings do. Sometimes we are best friends; sometimes we absolutely cannot stand each other.

3. "Man, I wish I had a twin that would be so fun!"

Yeah... A lot of people have this opinion, but I will let you know that having a twin is both a blessing and a curse because. They know everything. You are seeing a new boy and do not want your parents to know? Too bad, cause your twin already told them.

4. "Did you end up going to the same college?"

I get this question all the time and truly I don't know why; after spending nearly 18 years together I was definitely in need of a slight distancing from my womb buddy.

5. "Isn't it great that you can share clothes?"

Ummm... it's great if your twin is willing to share them... but when they do, it's perfect cause you basically have two closets to choose from!

6. "Do you have the same friends?"

We are different people, so most twins can probably say, they have a few of the same friends and a few different ones. It all depends, but we usually have the same enemies cause twins have to stick together of course.

7. "Is it hard being away from your twin?"

SO. INCREDIBLY. HARD. But Facetime and texting will do while we are apart.

8. "Do you guys have twin telepathy?"

No...I don't know why people assume this is a thing.

9. "Can you feel each other's pain?"

Still, no.

10. "Do you ever dress alike?"

When we were toddlers and forced into matching clothes by my mother who thought it was absolutely adorable; but now, if I were to come downstairs in something even slightly similar to my sister... one of us must change.

11. "Do you do everything together?"

We aren't conjoined, so no we don't. We do have our own lives.

12. "Do you mind sharing a birthday?"

Having a twin means double the cake and double the party guests! So its a win-win, and the funniest thing is there is always at least one person that will ask both of you when your birthday is and then feel defeated when they realize it is the same.

13. "Do you like having a twin?"

I absolutely love having a twin. It has its ups and downs, but anyone who is lucky enough to be blessed with another human to their exact age to go through life with should cherish it greatly.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
