An Open Letter To My Twin
Taylor James

To my twin,

Thank you for being my person. You have been there for me when nobody else was and I am so grateful to have been so lucky to have you. You make me happy, when skies are grey, and you will never know how much I love you. You have been and will always be my womb-mate. We did share a room for the first 17 years of our life. Some might call it too personal, I would have to agree. Though it was difficult, (you sure are messy!!), I wouldn't have it any other way. In a way, you have taught me how to handle a mess, and just deal with it.

Everyone always asks me, "Do you like being a twin?" The answer is simple- no. I'm kidding! Being a twin is the greatest honor. Being YOUR twin is the greatest honor. Having a twin is basically like having a forever friend. No matter what we go through, you will never be able to get rid of me. Sorry not sorry. You know me better than I know myself. When I can't find the right words to say, you can, and I am so appreciative that you are you.

I know that no matter what I go through, I know that I am not alone. I will never have to stand by myself in concert lines, when I am feeling anxious, you are there to hug me, and when I am having a rough night, your comforting words are all need. You accept me for who I am not have never ever made me feel like I don't deserve the things I have. You have always supported me with everything and I have no way to ever thank you for that.

In the end, I would love to thank you. Thank you for all of the silly inside jokes, like spunky mider. Thank you for all of the insane memories we have shared. There is no one else I would want to have a flip flop fight with. Thank you for calling off of work for me when I was too nervous to do it myself. Thank you for having sleepovers with me, just because I wanted to cuddle. You will always be my best friend and I can't wait to see what else we will experience together.

So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
