I mean, I'm bigger than her so it really doesn't mean anything.
I'm 18 minutes older though so I think that tops that.
I think for me, knowing that he was playing basketball it wasn't even really a hard choice.
Kentucky's really close to home and we never really thought about separating.
It's never really something that even crossed my mind really.
I mean, when I was considering other schools I tried to pick the school that wasn't too
far away from home.
You know, if I went to the west coast or something she wouldn't have been able to go so I tried
to keep her into consideration.
It's been good.
She's down the street, down the road so if I need her for anything I can just call her,
text her, just see what she's doing and go down to her apartment, anything like that.
If I need something, food or I'm just bored, I always hit up Alex first before I hit up
anyone.
I mean I beat her in cards all the time so� You just have somebody to talk to, somebody
that knows what you're going through, somebody that's doing the same thing you're doing.
It's good to know you always have somebody that's there for you.
He sacrifices a lot� time, so little time so much to do.
He does a good job with it so I'm definitely proud of him.
Oh yeah, I'm always proud of her.
Having a twin shows you how valuable each person in your family is.
Me being so close to Alex, I know he has my back and I have his so it's just always something
to fall back on.
It's the most important thing to me.
Family is a big part of what I do and what I believe in so it's good to keep the memories
going while we can, while we can still be in the same city.
I'm older by 25 minutes.
I'm the baby of the family.
Even though she bosses me around most of the time.
Everyone thinks I'm older.
We're like each other's compliments.
We mesh really well.
If I have something in my teeth she's going to get it out for me.
I don't have to walk around all day with it in my teeth.
And people laugh so hard when we do things like that.
We're kind of like a married couple because we'll fight and then we'll be like oh wait
I love you.
Thanks for being there for me.
We have a healthy competition.
So when it comes to classes or things like that we encourage the best to come out of
each other so if I'm struggling with math I know that Elizabeth excels in math, she
can come help me.
She doesn't want to try to beat me.
But then she helps me with bio because I didn't take bio.
As far as picking a school, as it got closer and closer to the deadline of making your
choice I was like so if you need my help but if I was at a different school I wouldn't
be able to do that for you.
I always thought this was a way for me to become independent and go to a different school.
But we both ended up getting into the Honors Program and got really good scholarships.
She wrote me 101 reasons why we should go to college together.
It really pushed us to go together.
The relationship with my sister really made college a lot easier of a transition.
We keep each other in check and help each other succeed to get those better grades.
That was definitely a reason why we chose to go to school together as well because we
knew that we would be there for each other.
Whether we're not feeling well, we need help with classes, we didn't write down the notes
and we needed someone else's help.
Coming here, although we're rooming together and we have the same major, we still have
different classes together, we have our own friends on campus but at the same time, at
the end of the day, we're together.
There's random times we'll be sitting down playing Xbox or something then randomly just
out of the blue just start bursting out in song at the same exact moment, the same exact
verse and then we'll just stop and we're like whoa.
We were in 4th grade when we started playing actual football.
Our stepdad would coach us and he'd draft us as a pair and we'd both end up on the same
team.
We never really fought either.
We had like 1 or 2 fights when we were younger.
We were always really good friends.
It's a lot different because you feel this friendship where you have this best friend
for all your life and you've always got someone with you.
I feel like going to college, since we've been together all our life, it would've been
weird if we would have went separate.
We always knew we'd go to the same school.
I love it here.
I would choose this place again if I had the chance to.
Being able to celebrate with each other.
Whenever Daron's out there I'm screaming.
By this time I know his schedule and if he's still in bed I'm like you got to the get to
class.
So I remind him about class and tutors and whatnot.
He's always there for me.
I can always count on him to be there.
He's always got my back no matter what.
He puts up with me.
I can always be a handful sometimes.
He's always got my back.
It's a great thing to know that you've had your brother there for as long as you can
until you get out into the real world.
We'll be able to reminisce on the old times when we're older.
That'll be cool. ###################################################
