5 Reasons Growing Up A Twin Is The Best
Alicia Salvatore

Being a twin is pretty fun. Some days you will be scrambling for some space of your own and other days you will be wishing they were right next to you on the couch.

1. Built in April Fools option

Gina Salvatore

There's no denying that twins of the same gender look alike, even if they are fraternal like my twin and I are. Our best April Fools was our senior year of high school when I went to take a quiz in my sister's English class and she went to my Shakespeare class. A few minutes into the quiz I ran out of the room and into my Shakespeare class and asked her what she was doing there. She went to her English class and the teacher just thought she had to change her clothes. Best April Fools ever!

2. Someone to encourage your online spending habits

Gina Salvatore

We all need moral support and the twins are right there to give it. The "should I get this shirt?" or "should I get this jacket?" is a typical conversation happening between my twin and me. That black dress you see pictured did not buy itself, I was right there to give my two-cents.

3. Wardrobe options

Gina Salvatore

The days of matching outfits were over once we hit elementary school and stealing clothes without the other twin knowing is a skill that should be added to a resume and I would mark myself as a professional. Growing up with a twin meant double the clothes to choose from which is really a win-win.

4. Homework to copy

Gina Salvatore

Sorry to say I was a professional at sneaking into my twins' backpack while she was doing something else so that I could copy her homework. You could say I was not the best student so having a twin that was wicked smart definitely came in handy when I was stuck on certain topics. She got me through elementary school and high school but in college... I was on my own, ugh.

5. Someone to gossip with

Gina Salvatore

Have you ever just wanted to tell someone something but no one was around? Well, if you grew up as a twin you never had that issue. I mean, what do you think we were doing in this picture aside from making oatmeal cookies? Gossiping. My sister and I would always have twin time before bed where we talked about our days and what was going on. From who liked who in high school to talking about what other people were wearing to homecoming, we talked about it all.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
