Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
O_O my face when someone says “Muslamic”.
Philosophy
Since I will probably be majoring in philosophy… so I’m probably going end up asking “why do you want fries with that?” lol.
Silly Confession…
I am sometimes so amazed with the posts people I follow post on my dashboard that I go to their profile to follow them then I realize the reason I even see these posts on my dash is because I already follow them. Lol. May Allah (swt) Guide Us All!
