Hi Guys! First, I would like to congratulate you for being able to secure a spot for yourselves at LUMS. Kudos to you! My name is Zoya Aziz, and I will be your PAL for the coming year. So excited! Now let me tell you a little about myself-I am a senior pursuing a major in Management Sciences. Baking, eating and binge-watching Netflix series (Gossip Girl and Friends <3) are my top three hobbies. I am also a part of the LUMS Environmental Action Forum (LEAF) working as their Design director. You’ll find me at the Khokha literally every evening, and in the IST during mids and finals because I love to socialize as much as I enjoy studying.
My first semester at LUMS was extremely tough for me, to settle down in a new city, to leave behind my childhood friends, to live in hostels, to handle the academic pressure and most importantly to live away from home.I’m sure similar thoughts have crossed your minds too and I completely understand where you are coming from, but this is exactly why I am here! I promise you that I will make LUMS feel like home.
Maintaining a balance here is the most important thing, and I cannot stress enough on this. Your four years at LUMS will be the most precious and memorable years of your life- but along this journey you need to prioritize your mental and physical health, make lots of memories and maintain your academic standing to ensure that by the time you graduate you are satisfied with what all you have achieved. I would love to be your go-to person at LUMS and will always be a call and text away. Cannot wait to meet all of you- all the best and see you very soon!
