What’s been happening so far:
I love college. I absolutely love it. People kept telling me I shouldn’t go to this college because it’s a bad college and all the Muslims end up dating yada yada yada. Everybody there is soooo bad and you’re gonna end up being sooooo bad too. Well, WHATEVER PEOPLE BECAUSE MY COLLEGE IS WONDERFUL! I settled in so quick! Everybody was great, the A2 students were all so lovely (I have an A2 friend now! She’s so funny!), the teachers were brilliant and explained the course outline very well and the new AS students were just amazing. AND EVERYBODY HERE SAYS “ACE”! Every time I hear someone say “ACE”, a huge smile breaks out on my face. I love it 
Yeah, there are a lot of Muslims dating (I saw this bearded guy stroking this hijabi’s leg. EW!) and what not, but I’m not doing it, am I? I’m not interested in that sorta stuff. I REFUSE to let the actions of others affect me.
Government and Politics is THE BEST SUBJECT IN THE WORLD. A) it is really, really interesting! I understand the news better now! B) OMG THE A2 STUDENTS IN THE POLITICS CLASS ARE THE BEST! There’s a whole row of A2 students who picked up Politics as an AS, and they all sit in a long line together. They are SO RUDE! It’s mind bogglingly hilarious how rude they are. I have literally cried with laughter in that class. The teacher is just…wow. She’s just wow. She keeps us entertained all lesson with funny stories about her family, and we all have such good fun! She’s inspired me to do Politics at Uni (well, Politics and Theology combined. If I ever GET to uni, that is) 
Sister Number 1 made up this new word. “Arse-a-palumber.” Then she told My Weird and Abnormal Cousin S. Then she made up “arse-a-parinder”. Then they taught my 4 year old sister how to say it. Then MWACS recorded her saying it. And now it’s her ring tone. Bizarre, I know.
My daddy made me mad. He makes me so mad I could kill someone. When I talked to him about getting a job so I can afford to go to uni blah blah, what did he say? “There’s no point. You’re not going to university. You finish college and that’s it.” When I told him that I AM going to university, and I plan on going to a TOP university at that, he just calmly replied, “No you’re not.” WHAT THE @#&$? WELL DADDY, I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU SAY BECAUSE I PLAN ON GOING WITH OR WIHOUT YOUR PERMISSION! GODDAMN.
Apparently, there’s an Islamic college opening up nearby soon, and my daddy and mummy also said that NEXT YEAR I WILL MOVE TO THAT COLLEGE! WHAT THE @~#!£??? He wants me to FAIL my A levels. How can he even THINK of uprooting me from college in my second year? WHAT IF THEY DON’T HAVE THE SUBJECTS I WANT? WHAT IF THEY USE A DIFFERENT EXAM BOARD? A WHOLE YEAR WILL GO TO WASTE! I am NOT moving colleges. NOT. GOING. TO HAPPEN. They also said that Sister Number 1 will have to go to that college. Sister Number 1’s reaction? “I’m not going to college at all if they make me go there.”
Sigh.

For the guy massaging her legs, whoops, looks like LUMS isn’t the only Muslim institution to be doing that.
Oh, ew!
For the rest of the post, you are ACE!
I am? Thank you, NabNab

Omigosh, it always freaks me out when a bearded dude and some random hijabi are sitting just a bit tooo close for comfort.
Its awesome that you love your subjects, maybe you can persuade your mum that working on the weekends would be a good thing and then asking your dad and if you can win your mum over she may help you out too.

First of all, congratulations for getting into college! I do so hope you will graduate with ease.
Now that I’m done with that. Allow me to raise my voice a little:
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR PARENTS! Can’t they see that education is important. Especially for their daughter. Girls these days NEED education to avoid being looked down by petty men.
Sorry. So sorry. Didn’t mean to come off as rude or anything.
Falakk, do everything you can to get to uni. Persuade them. Use every card you’ve got. This is about your future. Tell them that they can’t play around with your future.
Good luck Falakk.

Glad you’re enjoying it! This is a wonderful time in your life to figure out what you want, and to become really independent! As long as you focus on doing what Allah (swt) wants you to do, you don’t have to worry about what anyone says or thinks. Stay focused on what you want to accomplish, and inshallah you’ll get everything you dream of and more! P.S. Maybe the “beard and the hijab” were married?

Wow, you love college. Now that’s the point of view I’ve been wanting abot college. Argue with your parents, they can’t make you move. Go Falak!
P.S. I just found your blog, and I absolutely love it! Especially the “Her” section
I’m going to follow you now, in a non-stalker way, don’t worry xD
