13 Basic Questions Twins Hear Over And Over
Lex Olson

1. "Are you identical or fraternal?"

If you are a twin you can definitely relate to this one because I'm 99.9% positive that it comes up almost immediately after people find out you have a twin.

2. "Are you guys like best friends?"

We argue just like any other siblings do. Sometimes we are best friends; sometimes we absolutely cannot stand each other.

3. "Man, I wish I had a twin that would be so fun!"

Yeah... A lot of people have this opinion, but I will let you know that having a twin is both a blessing and a curse because. They know everything. You are seeing a new boy and do not want your parents to know? Too bad, cause your twin already told them.

4. "Did you end up going to the same college?"

I get this question all the time and truly I don't know why; after spending nearly 18 years together I was definitely in need of a slight distancing from my womb buddy.

5. "Isn't it great that you can share clothes?"

Ummm... it's great if your twin is willing to share them... but when they do, it's perfect cause you basically have two closets to choose from!

6. "Do you have the same friends?"

We are different people, so most twins can probably say, they have a few of the same friends and a few different ones. It all depends, but we usually have the same enemies cause twins have to stick together of course.

7. "Is it hard being away from your twin?"

SO. INCREDIBLY. HARD. But Facetime and texting will do while we are apart.

8. "Do you guys have twin telepathy?"

No...I don't know why people assume this is a thing.

9. "Can you feel each other's pain?"

Still, no.

10. "Do you ever dress alike?"

When we were toddlers and forced into matching clothes by my mother who thought it was absolutely adorable; but now, if I were to come downstairs in something even slightly similar to my sister... one of us must change.

11. "Do you do everything together?"

We aren't conjoined, so no we don't. We do have our own lives.

12. "Do you mind sharing a birthday?"

Having a twin means double the cake and double the party guests! So its a win-win, and the funniest thing is there is always at least one person that will ask both of you when your birthday is and then feel defeated when they realize it is the same.

13. "Do you like having a twin?"

I absolutely love having a twin. It has its ups and downs, but anyone who is lucky enough to be blessed with another human to their exact age to go through life with should cherish it greatly.

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.
