10 Things That Happen When You And Your Mom Look Alike
Deanna Drogan

If you and your mom look alike, you probably already know the drill. You get stopped at grocery stores, restaurants, school, and even your own home sometimes! You probably answer the the same questions and respond to the same comments with the same words every single time. You also are aware that her first name is your second name, since people often mistake you for her. Here are some of the things that may happen to you if you have a mom that you also like to call your twin.


1. You get stopped in random places by random people.

Why does this seem like it mostly happens in grocery stores?

2. You get,"you two must be sisters?" a lot.

So its great and all if you think that my mom looks like a teenager, but are you saying I look like I am in my 40s?

3. Even on the phone people think you are you're mom.

This sometimes can be fun when you play along for a while.

4. Sometimes in person people even think you are your mom.

Often comes along with a double take kind of like this.

5. You feel like an evil mastermind when you can trick people with baby photos.

Even though its lame how excited this gets you, it never gets old.

6. This is the look you give when people say you look like your dad.

This happens like once in a blue moon, but when it does you often respond with, "you should see me and my mom!"

7. You feel awkward complimenting your moms looks sometimes because you are basically complimenting yourself.

But you also feel awkward when you complain about a certain feature of yours.

8. On rare occasion YOU may even mistake your mom for yourself.


Okay so this one might just be me, but when we are wearing the same color, sometimes its just like looking in the mirror!

9. You can share the same beauty struggles together.

"Mom, can I borrow your super fancy hair straightener?"

10.You have high hopes for the future of your looks.

For me, I think that my mom is absolutely beautiful and I'm not just saying that because we look alike. In that case I have high hopes for the future of my looks.


While a lot of girls may not prefer to be called their mothers spitting image, I always feel privileged to be called that. My mom is my role model and I look up to her in everything I do. I'm convinced that her wardrobe is way more in with fashion than mine (which probably explains why I always steal her clothes). She knows how to get the job done in a loving and classy matter. She is strong and always puts others needs before her own. Whether it is her selflessness, her strength, her love, her humor or even her style. I would not want to be called anyone else's spitting image but hers.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
