<p>Hey, we Muslims need to stick together in this holy month! Especially those in college, away from their parents, who are fasting by themselves. How's everyone faring so far? There are several colleges that provide suhoor (pre-dawn meals) and Iftar meals so if yours does, take advantage of it! </p>
<p>On a side note, this Ramadan's going to be crazy. Sunset at nearly 8 P.M.!</p>
<p>I know what you are talking about! I'm going to a residential public school, so, I don't even get the option of iftaar or sehri. However, the muslims at our school are trying to work out something....like bag lunches and stuffs. </p>
<p>You think this will be hard? Now, don't forget that we will have to fast all through the SUMMER for next 6-7 years or even more! That'll be CRAZILY hard! </p>
<p>I'm thinking of substituting lunch and dinner time (i.e. regular dinner time of 6-7 pm) w/ prayers and SLEEP!</p>
<p>Yeah, word...I go to a public university as well, but I'm commuting so my parents always provide me with food at the appropriate times, lol. I can't imagine how it'd be if I chose to go somewhere else. </p>
<p>And careful with the sleep. You'll likely feel more hungry and tired after a long nap. I should know! I took a nap after fajr namaz, and oh boy, what a mistake it was.</p>
<p>I'm also at a public university, but I dorm. I don't eat much anyways so that's not a big problem; the islamic center has suhoors some mornings and iftars most evenings, but I'm probably not going to go to most of them... in the morning because it's too long of a walk and I'd rather get back to sleep ASAP (I get little sleep as it is), and in the evenings because I don't really know anyone there and last year I just ended up eating alone at a table whenever I went to an iftar. Felt awkward. Nothing like the mosque back home.</p>
<p>well, I go to a residential public High School. :D so, that makes it tougher for me! anyway, I rather believe that if I feel really hungry, and take a nap at that time, I feel better when I wake up! that may be me only.</p>
<p>Really now? Do you by any chance go to NCSMM or something? The one in North Carolina? I have a friend who just graduated from there!</p>
<p>yep! ncssm to be correct! what's ur friend's name? I may probably know him/her.</p>
<p>I've finally found an advantage to living in Egypt. People aren't afraid to bend the rules a bit around here, meaning that we turned the clock back on the first day of Ramadan, so iftar is at 6 PM instead of 8! yay!</p>
<p>so, when is sehri? like 4 am?</p>
<p>sohoor is at 4 AM-ish, yes.</p>
<p>yeah, but stills that's cool idea! in US, iftaar wud be right in the summer for next 6 to 7 years! WOW!</p>
<p>but they've been doing it here for the past 2 years...I'm not complaining..</p>
<p>I hope something would be done in the US....fasting from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm......that's just TOO much! 0_O!</p>
<p>not really. just stuff yourself during sehri :)
that way you won't feel hungry during the day.</p>
<p>Wow. It's about 5 AM to 700 PM here. Sleep helps...a lot. :)</p>
<p>in my place, it's 5:30 to 7:30...yeah, definitely sleep helps tremendously! I can't eat a lot during iftaar, so, end up eating A LOT during sehri.</p>
<p>i'm the same as asifkhan.... lol, P-town is baller.. it's easy for me to fat cuz im tight like that.... :D Taraweeh is tool ate though :(</p>
<p>eh, I missed my sehri yesterday! CRAPizzle! Feel like throwing out! THREE more hours to go! aggh!</p>
<p>lol....i got 5 hours left :(</p>
<p>EST es BEST! :D</p>
