Do you have any cute twin nicknames?
Lara: “In High School they called us Finwin or Twinley.”
Do you get along really well, or do you always get on each other’s nerves?
Sara & Lara:”We’re best friends, but occasionally get into an argument. Basically we’re just like normal siblings, but don’t fight as much. At points we need to get away from each other, but by the end of the night we are together again. And even when we’re fighting, we always have each other’s back.”
Do you ever wish you had gone to separate schools?
Lara: “I wanted to go to a bigger school, because in high school there really wasn’t any room for individuality. But I am glad I came to CNU!”
Sara: “It’s not just that we don’t room together, but we are in so many different classes, that it allows for people to get to know us individually, not just as twins.”
Who was born first?
Sara: “Me, by 30 seconds.”
