Maliha Tahir

MGS Junior

Hey there, Class of 2027!

Congratulations on stepping into the realm of LUMS – you've officially arrived, and trust me, the adventure has just begun! I'm Maliha, a junior at SDSB majoring in Management Sciences, and I'm here to sprinkle some wisdom on this rollercoaster ride you're about to embark upon.

People will tell you to stop worrying, but the reality is that you will always be worrying about one thing or another at Lums. Be it enrolment, societies, CP, internships, graduation requirements, etc. Just give your best, and you will come out of every situation like a champion. Try to explore Lums as much as you can during your 4/5 years at Lums, from evening chai breaks at Khokha to long walks in the cricket ground under a starry night. Lastly, make sure when you graduate, you have everything on your plate except for “regret.”

Lums is a different world, you will have to learn and adjust into. For instance, ever heard of a Zambeel? It's not a mythical creature; it's just our fancy word for course registration. Don't sweat it – you'll be a Zambeel master sooner than you can say "syllabus." Enrollment – the ultimate academic showdown. It might feel like everyone's armed with turbo-charged internet connections, but fear not, you'll navigate this digital battlefield like a pro. And those majors tugging at your heart? Embrace the struggle; LUMS is your oyster, and you've got time to explore.

The professors here? Think of them as intellectual ninjas molding you into the best version of yourself. And when the workload hits harder than a plot twist, remember your comrades-in-arms – your buddies. Late-night study sessions and shared insanity are the building blocks of lifelong friendships.

Lows will come and go, but guess what? They're your chance to soar higher. Life here is a blend of challenges and unforgettable memories. Balance academics with laughter, dive into clubs, and savor every moment. Always remember: this isn't just about getting a degree; it's about owning the journey. Soak in every twist, flip, and loop of this wild ride. And if you need a guiding light or a sprinkle of laughter, I'm your person.

Welcome to LUMS – where your story begins. Let's make it a legendary one!
