10 More Struggles That Muslims Have, As Told By Memes
Huffington Post

You guys asked for it yet again, and so I delivered as ordered. Without any further ado, let's jump right into it! (Check out the first set of "halal" memes here.)

1. All the hijab questions.


Do you shower in your hoodie? No, right? Oh, what a shocker!

2. Trying to perform wudhu in a public place.


Lots of people know that Muslims need to pray five times a day. However, those same people don't know that we have to *essentially* wash/purify ourselves before we do so, a process called wudhu in Arabic.

Well, that's all well and good...until you find yourself on the road washing your feet in a rest stop sink because it's almost time to pray Maghrib and there's a bunch of people walking in and out who are looking at you like you're crazy...yeah. #wudhustrugglesarereal

3. Pork...yeah, no.


Sorry Sharon, but I'm going to have to pass on that pulled pork sandwich. And yes, we CAN look at the cute little piglets at the petting zoo. <3

4. "You're Muslim? What language do you speak at home?"

I'm sorry, but do you speak Christian at home?

No...just, no. S T O P.

5. Those non-Muslim friends who try to be "in" with Muslim culture. Seriously, though, we <3 you.

Oh, sweetie. You tried your best, really, you did. And we absolutely adore you for it, even if we do laugh at you. Only a little thought, I promise.

(It's supposed to be Eid Mubarak for those who don't get the reference :D)

6. Dates? Oh...you must mean the fruit, right?


Keep it halal, bro. (I'm not trynna die here! @my parents) xoxo

7. Gelatin memes are the best memes, amirite?


SERIOUSLY. Marshmallows, Starbursts, gelato...why does everything delicious have gelatin in it? WHY?

8. Marriage. (LOL)


This one killed me, okay. Us Muslim gals are pros at swerving marriage, lol. #sorrynotsorry #collegefirst #kbye

9. Muslim feminists are the real OGs.


For y'all's information, women are considered to be queens in Islam. We actually have just as much rights as men do. :) But still, I couldn't help but share. #toogood

10. That awkward moment when...


Oh! You noticed that I got my nails done, too...*laughs nervously*

...

I'M ON MY PERIOD OKAY NOW SHHHHHHHHH

(Fun fact: you can't pray or fast when you're on your period :D) #themoreyouknow


And that's a wrap! Thank you all so much for the support--it's you lovely souls that make articles like this possible! Let me know what you think of this latest installment of memes by Lydia :)

If I get an equally positive response as the last meme article, you may be able to expect more in the future!

Until then!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
