The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, told BuzzFeed News that she's used to getting odd questions about her faith and her decision to wear the hijab — but she was "in shock" after receiving the text.

She said that the message was from a friend and fellow 2014 graduate of Drexel University in Philadelphia.

"We had a few classes together. [The sender] was a social science major as well, so some of our electives were the same. We studied together. She was a sorority girl, I was — I dressed like — a conservative Muslim, so we were opposites."

The woman, who was born and raised in New York and has worn the hijab for almost seven years, said that she and the sender would often ask each other questions about their different backgrounds.
