Tell me you love your job without telling me you love your job. A picture is worth a thousand words they say. That’s why I chose this funny picture to illustrate this article celebrating my 6 years as a full-time Social Media Manager<\/strong>. Do you want to know more about the story behind this picture? Keep on reading … \ud83d\ude09 Yeah, this is definitely some teasing to keep you hooked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m someone who doubts all the time. I want to do more even when I reach my limits just to prove myself that I’m good enough. This may sound good when you read it. It’s definitely not when you live it. Let me explain. When I finish something, I always see the flaws that could have been done better. Always. So, for a long time, I was always not satisfied with myself even when people around were saying this is awesome. This is exhausting for me and sometimes can be for people around me as well … because I want more. Always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the pandemic, I’ve been working a lot on myself to accept and be happy with things I do. It’s a very long process and one reason of this blog and this article is to reflect on some of my achievements and learn to be proud of them as they are and not as they could have been. Now, let me share some highlights of my sixth year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social Media Cake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, my sixth year started with the celebration of my 5 years as a Social Media Manager<\/a> in August 2020. Obviously … \ud83d\ude44 At least I know how to count. It’s one of the many skills you need for the job. That is why being a digital hybrid helps to fulfil this position. For that occasion, I ordered a special Social Media cake. I wrote an article about this where I explain how I switched from a web developer to setting up my own enterprise and finally landing at the University of Luxembourg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\"\"\n\n\n\n

September 2020<\/strong> as every September, we have one of the most important event: the Welcome Day. It’s the day we welcome new students to the University of Luxembourg. They get the opportunity to connect with the University in person for the very first time for many of them as we have students from 130 nationalities. Most of them have not been to the University yet. We have been in touch virtually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for my part, we have connected already as I reply to their questions on our social media channels. In order to make their onboarding smooth, I’ve introduced the Welcome Day Stories<\/strong> on the uni.lu Instagram channel<\/a> so that the new students could connect with each other before the Welcome Day. On this day, they meet as if they knew each other for a long time and feel less lonely or overwhelmed. I very well know this experience as I was also a non-EU student coming from Mauritius to study in France. I was lucky to have my dad with me for my first days. Between, I’ve started the stories for the 2021 Welcome Day, feel free to watch them on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above picture was taken by Sophie Margue and I’m posing with Solange, my greatest colleague and friend at the University of Luxembourg. We’ve experienced so much together and without her, things would be definitely less exciting. On the day itself, Sheena and Krystina, two students who work with me as Social Media Manager assistants were of a great help. Don’t get me wrong, this event involves way more people within the Communications department and across the University, I’m just sharing the story from my angle and with my direct interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
