Hello All , First of all congratulations for becoming part of LUMS Family. It gives me immense please to tell you that “Yes, You are at the right place”. This is start of something new in your Personal as well as Professional Life so do cherish this moment. Welcome to start of the most memorable years of your life!
As for my Introduction, I am Muhammad Hamza, ACF Senior at LUMS who being part of my major has taken all sorts of courses from all other schools as well, so yes YOU can say, “I am all in one Package”. A little about, me that I used to be very reserved person when I first came at LUMS but with the start of LUMS life, I met several different people who have had great impact in my career choices and life decisions. I believe most of you would also face similar situation transitioning into this new phase of your career but fear not I can relay from my person experience it would be the hard part yet the most easiest one once you become part of LUMS community. Along with that I will be your Peer advisor too so I will be always there to listen to all your queries and help you out in best possible way.
During my 3 years at LUMS, I have had opportunities to be part of several societies from SPADES, Lums Consultancy Group, Lums Community Service Society, Animal Welfare Society and Lums Data Science Society. Perhaps one thing you will really like about LUMS is its enriching culture of societies where once you join it you become part of their everlasting family. If I were to give an advice to you all, it would be to learn balancing various aspects of your life here at LUMS. Yes, Academics are equally important as societies and the right way to deal with that is to have a balance. Learn to balance and your life at LUMS will be so much more fulfilling. In addition, do not forget to embrace the new experiences & opportunities, making friends, taking diverse courses, joining societies, or exploring a personal interest. You will have plenty of "firsts" in this university, so be willing to step out of your comfort zone to make the most of it.
As for my Career and personal Interests that is a separate topic, we all can sit together at somewhere nice to have a chitchat. Lastly, never compare yourself to others; instead, concentrate on your own path and step out of your comfort zones, which is one things I cannot stress upon more. LUMS is great community to have around and no one will judge you for the odd things you do along your way. I cannot wait to have you all on Campus. Good luck, you have this!
