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.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
