A Letter To My Twin
Asphen Beard

Dear Twin,

Well we do not really look much alike. We don't have the same last name either. We biologically are not even related, but you are my twin and I will love you more than you will ever know.

You will always be the Ivory to my Ebony, sweet thang. There is no one else I would rather run over curbs with in Big Bertha (your jeep). Or get whip lash due to your extremely sharp turns. It's okay, being a good driver isn't everything in life.

I don't have a Range Rover or a tattoo on my shoulder, but I'll always be closer to you. With that being said, you can always leave a toothbrush at my place. Or maybe I should just leave mine at yours... I do practically live there at times.

The first time we met was the most awkward encounter of my freshman year. It has made for many laughs today though. You went from being the girl I got lost with on campus, to my best friend. I am so thankful for that night and our sorority bringing us closer.

I will always hold your hand in public when you want or to just embarrass you, whichever tends to come first. What are twins for?

Thank you for watching me ugly cry like Kim Kardashian and not judge me for it. There is no one else I would want to pick me up at 1am just to let me vent. Also, thank you for letting me know the guy that broke my heart was never worth it.

Having you by my side has made the college experience a little more easier and much more fun. There is no one else half my size I would rather chest bump. Or spend my entire Saturday morning searching for because I accidentally lost you. Shout out to the Find My Friends app, we will never lose each other again.

I will always be around to quote That 70's Show and support even your bad decisions. Remember all of those? Yeah its okay, lets not.

You have stuck it out with me the past two years, I hope you can stick around for a lifetime. I mean who else is going to make fun of my kids and take them turkey hunting?

Thank you for giving me memories that I can never forget. Some of which can never be shared in an article. Thank you for fighting with me like a sister and literally being my twin.

You are my person and I will always be yours. There is no one else on this earth that I can connect with more. I will love you as my best friend forever and always.

Love,

Your Twin

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
