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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
