Considering to go away for college is a hot topic for young Muslim women and their parents.

Some families say, you know, it's no big deal, and for others, even suggesting it is like

the most haram thing you could ever suggest. Well, today I'm going to get into what really happens

when a girl goes to college with some true stories

from some sisters that I know personally and what happened to them that women rarely share

in public.

Grab a cup of coffee, clear your schedule for the next 20 minutes or so.

You are not going to want to miss this one.

Hello, Samarikun. Thank you for joining us here at Mindful Muslim Speaks, the podcast where we are empowering women to grow and thrive.

How are you guys on this just, I don't know, it's just rainy, kind of yucky over here in New York, al-Hamdallah, but you know what?

It's been so cold lately.

The rain is almost like welcomed because, you know, sometimes when you're out really, really cold weather and then it's rainy, but at least it's warmer. It's better than

nothing. So al-h-h-h-h-da, in life we can always find the good within the difficult, right? Al-h-h-h-h-dallah,

because, you know, walking and going outside, whether you're young and you have your whole day that you have to deal with their mom with kids and taking them outside.

It could be hard.

But Hamdallah, rain is always baraka.

And we can always find something positive, like I said, within things that we struggle with or don't look forward to.

So if you don't already know me, my name is Mindful Muslim.

This is the podcast where we discuss all types of mindful living related to living by the sunnah. So we kind of bridge the gap between how to live that mindful life and still keep your Islamic identity,

especially in countries like the West.

So we are covering things like love, relationships, homeschooling, organization, life hacks, all types of things.

And today we're going gonna talk about some slight travel
