You know your'e from Hayl when...

[Naima Abdulkadir]

When you know everyone in your qabeelah by their first name.
When you dream about the next class.
When you invite your family from Europe for the next class.
When almost every Somali person knows almaghrib.
When your roomate thinks your crazy for being on the hayl forum all day.
When you wake up in the middle of the night to check the forum.
When you ignore people calling you b/c your on the forum.
When you can't wait to get home from work to check the forum.

ummsakinah, yours made me LOL alhamdulilah. I want MORE.

ummimarah, sooooooo true.

You know you're from Qabeelat Hayl when...

...when you fear your Ameer like you would your older brother...but you pick on him when the time comes.

...when you fear the Ameerah like you do your mom, but she's the sweetest lil thing that exists.

...when you talk about Hayl at every event non AlMaghrib.

...when ppl stopped talking to you cuz you mentioned 'Love Notes' too much

...when you 'haylize' every word..i.e. Haylster, Haylther, Haylby

...when your hospital room looks like a Hayl reunion right after you give birth

I remember at Love Notes, there were sooo many students from Toronto, I'd ask them..'So, you're part of qabeelat majd..' and they're like... 'no, this is my 1st class...so and so invited me'

[eternalmuslimah]

...when you learn the word 'abaayo' from a non-somali

[eternalmuslimah]

...when you log onto (and post on) the forums even while you're in the middle of applying to OSU

...when in your banu days, you thought 'banu' was a spelling error for 'qabeelah' (talk about oblivious )

...when the *coughing* syndrome has become a qabeelah wide epidemic
