Hello!
Hey everyone! A very warm welcome to LUMS and SDSB. I am Mariam Kashif, a junior at LUMS majoring in Management Science. When I first came to LUMS, I was very anxious as most of you must be. However, 2 years down the lane and now I feel like time is speeding by too fast. This place will become your home and you would come to enjoy every moment of it. However, be sure to come with an open mind and an accepting attitude because you will have a lot of firsts in this university. And pretty ironic for me to say it, but don’t stress out and have faith in yourself. Join societies, go to trips, try and fail studying in the library, take courses from different fields, get in an LDF argument, stay up all night before a day full of classes and basically try everything to make the most out of your LUMS experience.
To be fair, LUMS keeps you pretty busy but on the occasions, I get free time and go home, I love to spend it in the kitchen cooking or baking. I came to LUMS with a merit scholarship but pretty difficult to maintain it when you are competing with the brightest minds in the country. I am currently a member of SPADES as Director Security and present on the Dean’s Honor List.
Life at LUMS, with all its perks will be challenging and difficult. But you must always have faith in your capabilities and focus on your goals. I would like to conclude with urging you all with the most cliched sentence you will hear over and over: this will be one of the best experiences of your life so be sure to make the most of it.
