Dealing with the good and bad of growing up in multiples; one thing 60 students all share in common.

Two girls, two styles

Baggy and bodycon, crop tops and sweaters, dressy and sporty. Not words typically associated with each other, but junior fraternal twins Sophia and Savannah Tini bring them together.

“My mom used to match us until first grade. Sophia would wear something pink and I would wear the blue version of what she wore,” Savannah said. “It’s just gotten more different as we have grown up and developed different styles and personalities.”

The Tinis loved to match each other when they were little and now think it is funny. As they’ve grown up, their styles became even more different.

“I dress like Kylie [Jenner] she dresses like Kendall [Jenner]. I’m more into crop tops; she’s more into sweaters,” Sophia said.

According to Sophia she “dresses to impress” with her chic style. While Savannah Tini classifies her style, like her personality, as laid back and trendy. They may be twins, but they make it clear they are unique in all regards— especially fashion.

Share the candles

Unlike holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, birthdays are all about one person, unless that person is a triplet.

“You don’t get your own special day, which I kind of don’t like; but you also don’t do it alone, you get someone else to help you enjoy it,” junior triplet Luke Hefferan said. “ it makes it more fun, I think”.

Despite celebrating together and sharing a cake, junior triplet Alaina Hefferan said she and her siblings, Logan and Luke are still treated as individuals on their birthdays with their own gifts.

“A lot of people think that we get less recognition on our birthday since we all have the same one,” she said, “but our friends and family really take a lot of effort to make us feel like our own individuals.”

Similarly, Alaina likes being a triplet, despite not knowing any other way to celebrate.

“I kind of like having a birthday with them. It is nice to share it, it makes us feel more connected” she said. “Other people don’t, so it’s kind of cool that I am a multiple.”

Multiple lives in one room

Separate lives inhabiting the same bedroom could result in havoc, harmony or something in between.

Ben and Jacob Campbell, two parts of senior triplets, share a room, while their sister Hannah has her own space.

“Sharing a room has definitely made our relationship stronger,” Jacob said. “I don’t think either of us would share a room if we weren’t forced to; we argue over chores and how clean the room is.”

Some multiples enjoy sharing a room and couldn’t imagine it any other way.

Hunter, Gregory and Parker Haines, three of the sophomore quadruplets, have shared a bedroom since birth. Their sister Rebecca, as the only girl, has her own.

“It’s nice sharing a room, because it’s better than being alone,” Hunter said. “It’s helped me build a good relationship with my brothers.”

On the other hand, some prefer their own space.

“I’m really relieved we don’t share a room anymore,” Rebecca said. “Before we moved, all four of us shared one and it was really awkward.”

Battle of the keys

While it’s a rite of passage for some to turn 16 and get keys to their own car, most multiples don’t have that luxury.

“I didn’t think it’d be a problem at first,” senior twin Brianna Mozariwskyj said. “I thought we could make a schedule, but it went bad.”

The twins were excited when they received their car, because it was right after they earned their licenses, according to Marissa Mozariwskyj.

“We argue a lot over who gets it,” Brianna said. “We normally fight it out or someone just takes it.”

The two sharing a car wastes gas because they drive back and forth, according to Marissa. Although they are twins, they are not identical in looks or where they want to go.
