What's it like being a twin?

The Realities Of Being A Twin: College Campus Edition
Rebecca Peterson

We have been calling a college campus home for nearly six months. Hold THE phone! How did that happen? Anyways, on to the point. People say college is an experience of a lifetime. They say college is your moment to shine. A time in which you truly come into your own.

However, they forget to mention the experience that is going to college the with someone who shares the same face and DNA. Walking around campus with a double is full of much confusion, ALL.the.questions, and a few twin arguments to add in for good measure.

1. I'm waiting for my sister... "your sister goes here too??" My twin. My twin comes here. *mind blown*

2. That awkward moment when a person smiles and waves at me and I have no idea who they are. They think I'm my twin but I just going to wave and quickly walk away...

3. That other awkward moment when someone says, "hey I'm in your Chemistry class." Umm, I'm not even taking Chemistry...

4. Never being able to leave for the weekend to get away from our roommates because we're also roommates at home

5. Forever being starred at if we're together walking around campus. It's as if two people with freakishly similar features is abnormal...

6. Also forever using, "I'm a twin" as our fun fact on the first day of the semester

7. It never fails... Week five of classes someone in our classes missed the memo that we have a twin and they dramatically say, "DO YOU HAVE A TWIN" when we walk into class. Way to go, Einstein, yes I do have a twin.

8. When our twin brains have brilliant simultaneous ideas. Such as skipping gym day and bringing dinner back to the room to eat on our futon (and maybe ice cream too).

9. Speaking of the gym... Not being able to skip gym day when Twin A goes... Because you cannot be known as "the fat twin."

10. Twin B finds a good outfit and Twin A wears it the next day... Totally acceptable right?

11. Always having a lunch buddy... Except on Tuesday's because collided class schedules... Tuesday's are the worst.

12. Gloating about having a free night when Twin B has an exam to study for... Then ending up studying with her because that's just what we do.

13. Always having a best friend at the end of the day that knows you better than you know yourself.

Being a twin on a college campus is pretty much the coolest thing ever.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
