Twin Sisters Can Be Great

Here are a few pros to having twin sisters.

Twin Sisters Can Be Great
Cambio

I’m 15 months older than my sisters, who just happen to be twins. It has been an eventful [almost] 18 years since they have been born. I used to help my mom out with housework and taking care of my sisters. They needed their diapers changed? Guess who was right next to my mom with a pack of diapers? Me. When my sisters wanted my toys, I’d always share with them. But now that we’re older; it’s quite different. I’m here to tell you all of the pros of having twin sisters.

1. Sisters = friends, right?

Not only do you have one friend automatically, but you have two friends (in only a few minutes). You’re almost always guaranteed to have at least one there to hang out with you. You have two people that will always be there. Have an amazing story about the cute boy you saw yesterday? Two people who actually want to know what is going on in your life. Need to release some stress but don’t know where to begin? Two people who can talk it out with you. Want some food but don’t want to eat a restaurant by yourself? Two lovely sisters who would happily eat a meal with you (when you pay for their food — which has happened numerous times).

2. Need some clothes?

The great thing about my sisters is that they like to dress a bit dressier than me. My closet is full of T-shirts, jeans, shorts, crew necks, flip-flops and Nikes. Their closet has all of that plus cute dresses, skirts, blouses and dressy shoes. When I was going to my first job interview, I needed something dressy to wear; so of course I went to their closet and wore one of their dresses. The downside? “You wore my dress last year! Why can’t I wear this shirt?” Now, I may sound unreasonable because I didn’t allow her to wear my shirt, but what you don’t know is that she literally had the same shirt. Same color, same brand, same size, same everything.

3. Birthdays

We’re all close enough in age that we usually know what each other want. Luckily for us, if we don’t, we have another person to ask. Even better for me, I get to ask their twin sister. Who knows someone better than their twin sister?

4. Constant entertainment

My sisters share a bathroom, while I have my own. Almost daily they fight over who is showering first, how they’re wearing their hair and almost every other conversation that goes on in a bathroom. When I’m already awake, it’s hilarious at times because I text my friends and we laugh at how ridiculous they are. We have a total of four showers in the house. My sisters could shower at the SAME time, but that isn’t possible, right? No one is going to care that both of them are wearing their hair straight or curled or braided or any other way. They don’t yell at me when I’m wearing my hair the same way; why yell at each other? It’s even more entertaining when my dad is home and gets annoyed. He gets up from his seat to walk upstairs, and I turn down my music so I can listen better.

5. Best co-workers

I don’t know many siblings who actually want to work together. When my sisters started looking for a job, I said, “Oh, you can come work with me.” Of course, it was partially sarcastic, but now I don’t regret it at all. What’s better than working with two people you’re not afraid to tell when they’re doing something wrong or stupid? Literally nothing. They’re some of the best employees we have, and it’s because I can tell them what past employees have done right or wrong. It’s even better when one of us need to get a shift switched because we can go to each other first.

Twin sisters are the best thing to have happened to my life. It does get slightly crazy at times, but my life would be completely different if I didn’t have them. I don’t tell my sisters that I love them enough, but I definitely do. With all of my heart.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
