A Letter To My Twin

If you're reading this, it's not too late.

Dear Twin,

Well we do not really look much alike. We don't have the same last name either. We biologically are not even related, but you are my twin and I will love you more than you will ever know.

You will always be the Ivory to my Ebony, sweet thang. There is no one else I would rather run over curbs with in Big Bertha (your jeep). Or get whip lash due to your extremely sharp turns. It's okay, being a good driver isn't everything in life.

I don't have a Range Rover or a tattoo on my shoulder, but I'll always be closer to you. With that being said, you can always leave a toothbrush at my place. Or maybe I should just leave mine at yours... I do practically live there at times.

The first time we met was the most awkward encounter of my freshman year. It has made for many laughs today though. You went from being the girl I got lost with on campus, to my best friend. I am so thankful for that night and our sorority bringing us closer.

I will always hold your hand in public when you want or to just embarrass you, whichever tends to come first. What are twins for?

Thank you for watching me ugly cry like Kim Kardashian and not judge me for it. There is no one else I would want to pick me up at 1am just to let me vent. Also, thank you for letting me know the guy that broke my heart was never worth it.

Having you by my side has made the college experience a little more easier and much more fun. There is no one else half my size I would rather chest bump. Or spend my entire Saturday morning searching for because I accidentally lost you. Shout out to the Find My Friends app, we will never lose each other again.

I will always be around to quote That 70's Show and support even your bad decisions. Remember all of those? Yeah its okay, lets not.

You have stuck it out with me the past two years, I hope you can stick around for a lifetime. I mean who else is going to make fun of my kids and take them turkey hunting?

Thank you for giving me memories that I can never forget. Some of which can never be shared in an article. Thank you for fighting with me like a sister and literally being my twin.

You are my person and I will always be yours. There is no one else on this earth that I can connect with more. I will love you as my best friend forever and always.

Love,

Your Twin

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

308

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Because you need it in your life.
