Syed Muhammad Taha Hasnain Abidi

MGS Senior

Hello Everyone, I’m Taha Abidi! I’m a Management Science Senior at LUMS. As your Peer Advisor, I would like to congratulate you all for making it into LUMS and we all are delighted to welcome you in this new journey. To start with, when I came to LUMS I was excited but anxious at the same time as I came in with a lot of expectations. Three years down the lane, I can assure you it exceeded every bit of it.

The best part about LUMS is that it helps you nurture and transform you into a holistic person. By competing with the best minds of this country, to exploring different side of your personality by engaging in various activities that you are shy to pursue otherwise, LUMS truly transforms you. Apart from this, LUMS taught me the spirit of “Never Giving Up.” When you are part of LUMS, it means you have something special in you which always motivates you. Any downfall doesn’t mean that you are a failure but that you haven’t been up to your full potential.
In the end, I would say that try to be open and experiment every exposure that LUMS has to offer and don’t shy away from any challenges as these will make you a stronger individual. Try to find a balance between your academic and social life as this is a must for smooth transitioning into LUMS. Last but not the least, don’t consider me your Peer Advisor (PAL) but instead as a friend or an elder whom you can ask and share anything you want without any hesitation. Wish you all the best!
