6 Things All Identical Twins Can Relate To
Olivia Vandertuin

You probably know a set of identical twins, or at least have seen a pair in person before. Although twins are really the same as everyone else, they do go through some experiences that are unique to people with a mirror image of themselves!

1. Constantly getting asked the same question

Since the second you could talk, people have been asking, "are you two twins?" Umm no, just two strangers chilling, of course we are! Prepare yourself for a life time of being asked this, although you low-key enjoy the attention, and if you and your twin ever live apart you know you'll miss it!

2. You don't see It

Even though everyone else thinks you are the same person, you actually think your twin looks at least a little different from you. Whether it be different noses, voices, or face shapes, there are differences. However, you may be the only one that notices!

3. Having a mirror image

Hopefully you don't give creepy "The Shining" twin vibes tho!!

Do you ever want to know how an outfit looks on you, how a new hairstyle will turn out, or just how the rest of the world perceives you from the outside. Look no further! Your twin is the ultimate guinea pig, and you only feel slightly guilty for making them try risky trends before you.

4. Always confusing people

Whether it be teachers, strangers, or your close relatives, everyone is confused by you two! Although constantly correcting people and learning to respond to two names can be a little annoying, it also has its perks. You can play tricks, switch places in school, spread blame, and conveniently become a different person when it suits you. You also secretly sympathize with the people that confuse you, since you can not tell other twins apart either!

5. Everything's a competition

From report cards to who can run the fastest mile, everything seems to become a competition. Although you both have your strengths and weaknesses, you always feel a little edge to be just a little bit better than your twin. At the same time, your twin is also one of your biggest motivators, and together you push each other to be your best self.

6. Having a built-in best friend

From womb-mates, to room-mates, your twin has been by your side through it all. Although you may disagree and fight sometimes, you know that you always have each others back. You always refer to yourself as "we", and you can not imagine life any other way. Besides, life is always more fun when you have a clone to do it with.

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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
