During my first year at university, I started an internship at Fanatik Newspaper, a sports newspaper. After an intense internship, I started to stay away from monthly salaried jobs and at the same time, I started my first remote job there: Comment editor. After working for a few months, I completed my duty/time there.

When I was working there, our top priority was to increase clicks, and I created this photo gallery, and there were record numbers of entries. A little memory 😊
