College Supplement- What qualifies as a quirk?

Applying to College
1

Would being an identical twin qualify as a quirk? The question is write about a quirk you have.

Thanks

2

It isn’t something you have any control over – but if it has led you to alter your life trajectory, it could be s good topic.

3

No–but your relationship with your twin or your experiences as a twin may well be quirky.

4

could i talk about how i am basically the blue twin and she is the girly pink twin? is that a quirk? i am more tomboyish

5

or our secret language?

6

I’m not really sure what would be a quirk because there are so many weird things that randomly happen.
Ex: wearing the same outfit accidentally then changing, knowing what we want to say, making similar mistakes on math problems, I talk to her with my eyes

Help please!! Thanks so much!!!

It seems to me that you could play the angle of quirks being things that are different from your twin. Assuming you are identical twins, it seems like you should be really similar in a lot of ways. When you aren’t, it is a quirk in your twindom.

thanks ! you helped me channel my thought

This would definitely qualify as a quirk.

Interestingly, twins are often not very similar. Fraternal twins tend to develop less similar interests than different age siblings.That is due to “niche picking” on the part of the twins-because while they are not less similar than different age siblings, the fact they are the same age means direct comparisons can be made-so fraternal twins try to maximize their unique skill sets to their advantage. In contrast, identical twins are much more similar than different age siblings and are less likely to seek different hobbies, friends, etc. Just a little factoid here.
