13 Things You Know To Be True If You Grew Up As A Boy-Girl Twin

It wasn't all sunshine and daisies, but you wouldn't have it any other way.

Having a twin brother has come with so many ups and downs throughout our past 20 years of life. We fought like cats and dogs for most of our life, but once college hit, we became close, and I wouldn't have it any other way. You don't have the same relationship as boy-girl siblings because being a boy-girl twin is 100 times better.

1. You had separate birthday cakes every year growing up. 

2. You constantly argue over who's the older twin. 

3. You thank God you never had to share a room with each other. 

4. You never really had twin sense... 

5. ...But you could still read each other's mind every once in a while. 

6. You got to play with both boy and girl toys at the same time. 

7. You are constantly surprised no one died based on how many times y'all fought. 

8. You never had to worry about someone else stealing your clothes. 

9. You may or may not have the same high-pitched voice. 

10. Being the older twin or younger twin always came with a different set of bragging rights. 

11. You have a pretty good idea of what you would look like as the opposite gender. 

12. You almost always had someone to play with. 

13. You wouldn't want to have any other sibling in the world. 

Love you, JJ.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
