Hello, class of 2027! Welcome to the next 4 years of your life. The 4 most exhilarating and
transformative years of your life! My name is Eman Khan, and I am an Accounting & Finance Junior. I was in your shoes just two years ago, and it’s shocking how time flies. I have had my fair share of ups and downs so far at LUMS, but the place truly does feel like home now, and I have come a long way from the timid, and overexcited freshman that I was.
LUMS has a lot to offer, and regardless of whether this was your dream school or your backup option, pat yourselves on the back for making it here! I would advise you to make the most of your time here, whether its joining societies, taking interesting courses, watching the sunrise at the cricket ground, pulling all-nighters at the IST for a midterm, getting lost in the Academic Block (still happens to me) or jamming with your friends at Khoka over 60 years of Bollywood. To help you guys ease your transition, I will be here for you every step of the way as your Peer Advisor, and I am super excited to meet you during O-Week!
Remember that there will be difficult times too but embrace every challenge and every opportunity with an open mind and remember to be true to yourself along the way as you try to figure out adulting (it’s a little tough, but you’ll get through it). Put yourself out there, make new friends, make an effort for your classes, try new things, and try going on walks by yourself. LUMS will offer you a new opportunity to learn every day, and I hope you make the most out of it! Best of luck!
