CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

I am studying psychology at the University of Chile because I really liked its curriculum. However, the first semester I did not like all the subjects. One of the subjects that I considered less important for the career was "Historia Social de Chile" (Social History of Chile). I consider that this subject should be an elective. In short, it is an interesting but dispensable subject for psychology.

Another subject that I would remove from my curriculum would be the first semester cross-disciplinary course. That course was intended to teach essay writing, and the truth is that I ended up learning on my own. It was a very poorly organized course and I hope not to live again such a bad experience as the one I had with that subject.

Regarding the academic load, I believe it is adequate to internalize the contents. I can't say much about the faculty facilities, as I have been there only once. However, I wish it had a large space and there were enough places to be able to study quietly.

As for the use of technology, currently it is what we use the most when working and studying from home. I am not aware of what is available at the faculty. I hope that there will be a lot of material that will allow us to acquire the knowledge in the most dynamic and profitable way possible. 

That’s all.

    I agree with you, I also consider that "Historia Social de Chile" is not a very relevant branch for our training as future psychologists.

A country I would like to visit: Japan Every time I think of visiting a place, Japan enters in my mind. I am very interested in that country, since its culture is very peculiar and enriched, and it also has very beautiful natural landscapes. Japan makes me curious, and I think when I visit it, many things will surprise me. Japan is an island nation from east Asian, therefore, since it does not have land borders, theoretically it does not have neighboring countries. It has big cities, and its capital, Tokyo, is well known for its skyscrapers, commerce, and pop culture. I would like to stay for a long vacation to try their different foods and to know how Japanese people live. Honestly, it isn’t a country where I would like to study, to work or to live for different reasons. Their language is very complex to me because they use 3 types of letters, "hiragana", "katakana" and "kanji". Also, their culture is extremely different from mine, and I think it woul

My Best Holiday Ever The best holiday I've ever had in my life was when I was 10 years old. I remember that I and my father went to my paternal grandmother's home, located in “Monte Águila”, a small town in the Biobío region. We stayed there for two weeks and we visited many places. When we arrived, I insisted a lot to my father to go to a river, and a few days later we went to the “Salto el Laja” with him, an uncle and a cousin. That day was great, we had a lot of fun bathing in the river. Days later we went to an uncle´s place who had many horses and I learned to ride one. We also went for a walk to the forest and visited an aunt who lived there, although we almost got lost :( Finally, when it was the last day of being there, my grandma gave me a box with beans and sausages, because my favorite dish is “porotos con rienda”. She also gave me some money :) I remember that vacation a lot, because I really enjoyed it, it was almost like a dream! That's all.

  What's like to study psychology? Hello again! In this post I’ll talk a little about my career. I’m a second year student of psychology at the University of Chile. I chose this career for various reasons. However, I have to say that when I was a little kid, I wanted to be a lab scientist. Then I became interested in psychology. I also wanted to be a teacher or a biologist. Finally, I decided on psychology because I think I can mix all those things, that is to say, I could teach in a university and do research work with experts from scientific areas. My experience at the university until now has been regular, because of the pandemic and the online classes. It has  advantages and disadvantages, since my house is very far from the university, and at least I will not have to commute for hours every day. Obviously, because of the online classes I have missed learning many things, however, I’m motivated, and I hope to learn more about the human mind. After finishing my career, I’d like
