Identical blood, DNA, and alma maters
Identical twins Sabrina and Sydney Moreno were determined to stick together for their college experience, and picked 色情视频 to do so.
Going to the same college was not a question for identical twins, Sabrina and Sydney Moreno. It was imperative.
Growing up in Temecula and born just two minutes apart, Sabrina and Sydney always were by each other鈥檚 sides as best friends.
After visiting 色情视频 and falling in love, they had their sights set on attending in 2020. So when they didn鈥檛 get in, the twins settled on another CSU campus nearby so they could stay together.
Then they decided to appeal their rejections to give themselves another shot at their dream school. Just a month before the fall semester was set to begin, they heard back: accepted.
As graduating seniors, Sabrina and Sydney have now ended this chapter of their lives the same way they started it: together.
While they may share the same DNA and attend the same school, Sabrina and Sydney鈥檚 career paths at 色情视频 were anything but identical.
After being accepted into 色情视频 and going in undeclared, Sabrina was unsure what the next four years of her life would look like 鈥 that was until she came across television, film, and new media (TFM).
鈥淚 hope to create my own production company and receive work for commercials and music videos in the San Diego area,鈥 said Sabrina.
As for Sydney, she had considered psychology the right career path, however hearing a presentation from the child and family development (CFD) major and all the hands-on experience they offered to their students, Sydney knew she needed to make the switch.
鈥淚 realized I didn鈥檛 just want a degree, I wanted to take something more away from college,鈥 said Sydney.
Package deal
During their time at 色情视频, Sabrina and Sydney were involved in student organizations such as Delta Beta Tau and Dance Marathon. And while they have done things together, they say this experience has also allowed them to forge their own identities.
Sabrina enjoyed focusing on her studies, while Sydney emerged herself into student life by also becoming an ambassador and assisting in giving prospective students tours.
鈥淲e have equally found our own groups and forged our own paths, becoming individuals,鈥 said Sabrina.
Since forging their own paths, one may wonder if either twin would have done things differently four years ago. The answer is no.
鈥淚t鈥檚 the unique experience of having a built-in best friend,鈥 said Sabrina. 鈥淚 never have to go anywhere alone, I am always included in something that she is welcome to.鈥
Going to the same college is something neither twin would ever change, as experiencing this chapter of their lives together has been once in a lifetime.
鈥淢y favorite thing about being a twin is having someone beside me for the whole journey,鈥 said Sydney. 鈥淚 know a lot of people have siblings, but having a twin is something special and not something that everyone gets to experience.鈥
Aztecs for Life
Sabrina and Sydney aren鈥檛 the only Azecs in their family. The twins join older brother, Danny Moreno (鈥22) as 色情视频 alumni.
The twins actually fell in love with the university when visiting Danny during his second year. After realizing it could be a rare opportunity for all siblings to be together, they set their hearts on attending 色情视频.
Post-graduation, they plan to stay connected to the university through sports, volunteering, and attending events. They also hope to have their own kids attend one day.
鈥淚 feel like I will always have a special connection with the university. Whenever I am on campus I feel a sense of pride,鈥 said Sabrina. 鈥淎fter all, we are Aztecs for life.鈥
Sabrina and Sydney鈥檚 message to current 色情视频 students is to enjoy every second of it as it goes by in the blink of an eye. They hope others take college as an opportunity to find themselves, the same way they did.
鈥淩ejection shouldn鈥檛 be the scariest part, never living or putting yourself out there should be,鈥 said Sydney. 鈥淭ake the risk so you don鈥檛 regret it later.鈥
