When You Give A Girl A Twin
Katalina Castro

I feel blessed to have been born into a family where I have an older sister and a little brother. When you are younger your little sibling is your worst enemy, and when you are older they become your best friend. However, one of the greatest relationships I will ever have is with my twin sister. While they may annoy you like every other sibling, there are a multitude of positives that occur when you give a girl a twin.

1. You Are Born With A Cuddle Buddy

When you give a girl a twin, you give her a cuddle buddy. My mom always tells us if we started crying while we were in the hospital, all the doctors had to do was place us right next to each other and we would stop.

2. You Wear Matching Outfits

When you give a girl a twin, you give her someone to wear matching outfits with. The best part of this is looking back at the horrendous outfits your mother dressed you in. Your twin can't make fun of you since she was wearing the same thing.

3. You Are Opposites

When you give a girl a twin, you give her someone completely different from herself. Even when we were little, Justice has always been the sassy and serious one. The fact that we are polar opposites is the main reason why we are so close. We balance each other out and make up for whatever the other one lacks.

4. You Went to School Together

When you give a girl a twin, you give her someone to go through school with. Kindergarten all through high school you always had someone there for you. Same classes, same friends and the same sports teams. There was always someone rooting for you.

5. You Get A Best Friend

When you give a girl a twin, you are giving her a best friend. Someone who you can navigate the struggles of life with, and someone who will love you unconditionally. You have someone who you can share your deepest secrets with because they won't judge you, and someone who shares you dream of living right next door to each other when you are older. Most importantly, when you give a girl a twin, you are giving her the world. Not a day goes by where I don't think about how grateful I am that she was born 36 seconds after me.

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.

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

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.
