When You Give A Girl A Twin

Double- Trouble

When You Give A Girl A Twin
Katalina Castro

I feel blessed to have been born into a family where I have an older sister and a little brother. When you are younger your little sibling is your worst enemy, and when you are older they become your best friend. However, one of the greatest relationships I will ever have is with my twin sister. While they may annoy you like every other sibling, there are a multitude of positives that occur when you give a girl a twin.

1. You Are Born With A Cuddle Buddy

When you give a girl a twin, you give her a cuddle buddy. My mom always tells us if we started crying while we were in the hospital, all the doctors had to do was place us right next to each other and we would stop.

2. You Wear Matching Outfits

When you give a girl a twin, you give her someone to wear matching outfits with. The best part of this is looking back at the horrendous outfits your mother dressed you in. Your twin can't make fun of you since she was wearing the same thing.

3. You Are Opposites

When you give a girl a twin, you give her someone completely different from herself. Even when we were little, Justice has always been the sassy and serious one. The fact that we are polar opposites is the main reason why we are so close. We balance each other out and make up for whatever the other one lacks.

4. You Went to School Together

When you give a girl a twin, you give her someone to go through school with. Kindergarten all through high school you always had someone there for you. Same classes, same friends and the same sports teams. There was always someone rooting for you.

5. You Get A Best Friend

When you give a girl a twin, you are giving her a best friend. Someone who you can navigate the struggles of life with, and someone who will love you unconditionally. You have someone who you can share your deepest secrets with because they won't judge you, and someone who shares you dream of living right next door to each other when you are older. Most importantly, when you give a girl a twin, you are giving her the world. Not a day goes by where I don't think about how grateful I am that she was born 36 seconds after me.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
