Being a twin is not all it's cracked up to be

10 Things All Twins Can Relate To
Gianne Karla Tolentino

I've always had something interesting to say when people asked if I have siblings. Why yes, I do. I have a twin. But after almost 18 years, I try and state this casually, if it all. I love being a twin but it's not all it's cracked up to be. So here's to 10 things all twins can relate to.

1. People Always Ask What It's Like Having A Twin

Something just happens when you mention you have a twin. You magically become a mystical being and everyone wants to know what it's like. Meanwhile, it's just like having a sibling who is the same age as you.

2. People Question If You're Actually Twins

My favorite. Not. Strangers, and friends alike decide to point out your differences and then say "are you sure your twins?" Nah, it's all an illusion. I'm really just lying to you.

3. You're Constantly Asked About "Twin Telepathy"

You have given the "there's no such thing as twin telepathy speech" a million times. Sorry, it doesn't exist. We don't have a hive mind.

4. Saying Things In Unison And Freaking Out Everyone

This is just pure coincidence, but you'd think we'd just performed a magic trick. Twins always get looks after talking in sync. It goes away. We promise.

5. You’ve Worn Matching Outfits At Least Once

This can be mom's doing or just yours by accident. Just be warned it doesn’t happen on a regular basis. But of course, there are photos to prove it.

6. You're Always Being Called By Your Sibling's Name

We'll definitely respond to the wrong name. We can't fight it anymore. But please if you can, remember to differentiate. We are two different individuals.

7. People Comment On Your Different Personalities

It may seem like a fun list to you, but I've heard it all before. I know we have different personalities and interests. It could even be because we're two separate people.

8. Everyone Asks Who's Older

Is this even a relevant question?

9. You've Grown Up Sharing Nearly Everything With Your Twin


From the womb to bedrooms, toys and friends. It's all fair game here. C'est la vie.

10. You Rolled Your Eyes On Twin Day At School

I get it, it’s a catchy trend. Just a reminder though that "twinning" isn’t exactly wearing the same shirt as your friend. You have to be pretty special to be a real twin.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
