Hello!
Hey there, congratulations on making it to LUMS, get ready for a hell of a ride! I am Tauqeer Saleem a Management Sciences Junior and your peer advisor. It is my job to brag about my achievements, tell you how great LUMS is, and assure you that I am going to give you the perfect advice.
Before doing so, I would like to share a moment of truth with you guys. There is no doubt that LUMS is indeed the best university in Pakistan, but the best university requires your best efforts. LUMS is not a machine that pumps out successful people, it’s a nice road towards success and no matter how nice and comfortable a road is, it always requires efforts from the one treading those paths. Your networking, grooming, communication skills, and GPA will determine your future, and there is no other place than LUMS to get all of these together. GPA might be just a number but remember it is going to matter one day.
Furthermore, I might brag about being enlisted in Dean’s Honor List (DHL) twice or being the Calculus I instructor on a well-known online learning platform (neerpeer.org), but what I am really proud of is my volunteer service that I provided for different organizations/ societies within and outside of LUMS, as well as the sense of purpose that I have developed here at LUMS. I would also suggest you to find a purpose in your life; otherwise, life might get too mundane.
Speaking about boredom, don’t forget to hop into different societies at LUMS. They are the best way to develop a network and make new friends, and to get away from the hectic study routine for some time.
Don’t forget to avail any opportunity that you see. With that I welcome you again to LUMS, a new life awaits you.
Will be seeing you soon.
