Having an identical twin means having a built-in best friend. “I don’t know how else to live,” Jillian Scott said Friday afternoon, sitting next to her twin sister Acaja Scott. “People ask, ‘How is it being a twin?’ Well, I’ve never experienced not being a twin. I have other siblings that aren’t my twins, but being a twin is kind of like my identity.” “I always think, ‘My friends have to be so lonely, but I always have Jillian to talk to,’" Acaja said. "We kind of do everything together. I think going separate ways will be hard, but it will be kind of fun because when we do get to see each other again it will be more special.”
