5 Reasons Growing Up A Twin Is The Best
Alicia Salvatore

In This Article:

Being a twin is pretty fun. Some days you will be scrambling for some space of your own and other days you will be wishing they were right next to you on the couch.

1. Built in April Fools option

Gina Salvatore

There's no denying that twins of the same gender look alike, even if they are fraternal like my twin and I are. Our best April Fools was our senior year of high school when I went to take a quiz in my sister's English class and she went to my Shakespeare class. A few minutes into the quiz I ran out of the room and into my Shakespeare class and asked her what she was doing there. She went to her English class and the teacher just thought she had to change her clothes. Best April Fools ever!

2. Someone to encourage your online spending habits

Gina Salvatore

We all need moral support and the twins are right there to give it. The "should I get this shirt?" or "should I get this jacket?" is a typical conversation happening between my twin and me. That black dress you see pictured did not buy itself, I was right there to give my two-cents.

3. Wardrobe options

Gina Salvatore

The days of matching outfits were over once we hit elementary school and stealing clothes without the other twin knowing is a skill that should be added to a resume and I would mark myself as a professional. Growing up with a twin meant double the clothes to choose from which is really a win-win.

4. Homework to copy

Gina Salvatore

Sorry to say I was a professional at sneaking into my twins' backpack while she was doing something else so that I could copy her homework. You could say I was not the best student so having a twin that was wicked smart definitely came in handy when I was stuck on certain topics. She got me through elementary school and high school but in college... I was on my own, ugh.

5. Someone to gossip with

Gina Salvatore

Have you ever just wanted to tell someone something but no one was around? Well, if you grew up as a twin you never had that issue. I mean, what do you think we were doing in this picture aside from making oatmeal cookies? Gossiping. My sister and I would always have twin time before bed where we talked about our days and what was going on. From who liked who in high school to talking about what other people were wearing to homecoming, we talked about it all.

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.
