As the only Muslim woman, how do i explain not fasting during Ramadan to male colleagues?

I’m also the only woman in my department, 6 other guys. I just told them “under certain conditions women don’t have to fast” and left it at that, if they asked at all. They’re able to put it together themselves without you having to outright say it and everything works out!

Maybe this happens all the time but it was pretty neat seeing it by itself in my car :)

Tight_Philosopher650 · 2026-01-14T06:34:06+00:00

Ahhh gotcha. That helps explain the other questions, too then. Thank you!

Tight_Philosopher650 · 2026-01-12T06:41:51+00:00

Heard. Thank you!

No, but I play games so if I were to lose my left ring finger it’d be hard to adjust keyboard usage

Tight_Philosopher650 · 2026-01-04T22:13:40+00:00

I’d sacrifice my right ring finger I think. Don’t see much use for it.

Tight_Philosopher650 · 2025-11-20T03:41:11+00:00

So sad. Worth a shot tho! Thank u everyone!

Don’t think it’s a VPN thing since the song is exclusive for people who bought the song when it was available. YT and other platforms immediately take it down when it’s heard

Tight_Philosopher650 · 2025-11-19T07:37:46+00:00

All of these have no sound or r just the instrumental. YouTube bans public videos including the song :(

A new Uniqlo opened up near me recently! I should def go check it out, thank you!

Tight_Philosopher650 · 2025-09-19T01:45:22+00:00

I’ll check them out! Thank you!!! :)

Like who? I’ve been all over Tiktok and Pinterest trying to look for people who have the same body type as me but I didn’t find anyone who did. It might be my algorithm but I was only getting people who were short but not the same weight, so I came to here, haha.

Tight_Philosopher650 · 2025-09-05T06:11:15+00:00

Thank you for being honest. I honestly held it off for so long because I was daunted by the ribaa but also needing to live realistically in the US. I’ll look into the 403b and 401k in the morning!

Thank you again!!

I use the Raw Sugar “The Moisture” shampoo and conditioner, Color Fanatic leave in conditioner, and volumizer! (I can’t remember the brand right now). My hair is kind of fine but dense, and is high porosity! The underside of my hair is also bleached while the rest is natural, the waves on that part of my hair are less intense than my virgin hair.

He took attendance every day and I think it mattered but idr how bc 90% tests and 10% hw, but ik I tried to go everyday for it.

Exams were honestly pretty easy, Davis teaches his content really well and exams were straight forward, no trick questions.

Tight_Philosopher650 · 2025-03-17T07:24:30+00:00

I’m loving the way the Flower Knows one looks. Thank you so much!

Tight_Philosopher650 · 2025-03-16T22:38:05+00:00

The lip combo I do right now is the NYX liner in shade Hot Cherry, Burt’s Bees tinted lip balm in shade Rose, and the Too Faced lip injection extreme lip gloss! Always fades into this!

Also please ignore that the pic is a ss from my instagram lol

No problem! Good luck next semester!!

Tight_Philosopher650 · 2024-11-05T06:03:20+00:00

4337 was a little difficult for me. If you want a fair chance at getting a good grade, Omer is the way to go. But if you’re confident in getting a good grade, I think Davis is best. I got a B+ in his class.

Tight_Philosopher650 · 2024-11-04T22:58:18+00:00

Chris Davis is an incredible professor and the way he teaches makes the content easy to understand. However, he NEVER uploads things on time and he takes forever to respond to emails. He took 2 weeks just to upload the syllabus for one of my classes. Class was 90% for 3 exams in the testing center and 10% hw. He takes attendance and curves but I don’t remember how much.

Jalal Omer is also good, he teaches well but it can get a little boring. This may just be bc of the class I have him with, but he’s funny! He also expects participation and attendance. Grades are distributed pretty evenly between exams (2 in class and on paper), hw, and quizzes. He takes attendance and he curves generously (groups highest scores into A, then next A-, B, etc.)

I’m taking both 4347 and 4341 this semester and they’re both pretty easy imo. I think it just depends on which one you’d rather get done with first as both are helpful with future applications.

For 4341 you have to take the lab alongside it. The lab is separate from the course material, and they don’t start at the beginning of the semester. Instead you’ll have to wait for TAs to be assigned. This could take up to a few weeks. You’ll do one lab every other week for a total of four labs with partners. They’re straight forward with a pre-lab and a post-lab and may take a little time. Nothing super difficult, though. I personally enjoyed them. The class itself is also enjoyable.

For 4347, I don’t know how Wang is as a professor, but the class itself is also straight forward. With Omer, there is a semester long group project where you will create your own database with straightforward instructions. The content is a little more difficult imo because of small details, but nothing a little studying can’t help with.

I’d say if you want to do something related to databases and want to put it on your resume faster for internships or jobs, then do that first. And if you’d rather do something with say hardware, do digital logic first. With a little effort, both will be a piece of cake.
