English

    Learning English at the university  and in pandemic has become complex, I can't always get into classes and I have to watch them later, and learning English is not so easy for me because I am not so good at languages. However, blogging has been a very useful and fun way to implement English in my life, because I am learning new words, connectors and ways to order words, while doing something fun like writing a blog. I have a hard time speaking English, I don't know so much vocabulary either, so English is quite difficult for me in general. I think a good way to improve it and learn English is to listen to music in English, watch movies in English with Spanish subtitles or in Spanish with English subtitles and try to read some things in English, my university classmates and friends have recommended me to do these activities, and I think they can be very useful. Outside of English class and blogging, I use English when watching movies, listening to and singing music,

university curriculum

 When I was choosing a university and career, I remember that I chose psychology at the University of Chile because I really liked the curriculum, that is, the subjects included in the curriculum. That has not changed much, I like that the career begins with subjects that are transversal to the social sciences, and that as the years go by it becomes more and more specialized.  Psychology is very broad, so I like that the curriculum of the career includes so many subjects, because it tries to teach us about all areas, giving us the possibility to choose the one we like the most. We "specialize" later in the sixth semester of the course, since we only have elective courses.  I would make changes to the elective courses, because there are so few places that people rarely take the courses they really want, which is a big problem.  I would also add more internships, because in the end a psychologist works helping and accompanying people, and it is difficult to think how to transfe

Postgraduate Studies

Imagen
 Hello everyone! Today I will write about graduate courses. I will expose why they are useful, the course I would take and where I would like it to be . I think that taking a graduate course can be very beneficial, because you can specialize, get a better job, a better salary, etc. Besides, what interests me as a future psychologist is to be able to provide better care, that is, to know more in order to be able to help people in an optimal way. I think I would take a course in community psychology, something related to childhood, popular education, etc., topics oriented more to the social than to the clinical. I would like to study abroad, I have never been outside of Chile and I would like to spend some time studying in another country.I would like to study in Spain, I have seen that many of my professors have done postgraduate studies at the University of Barcelona. I would like to study in Europe, in Spain. I have seen that many of my university professors have done postgraduate stu

My Future Job

Imagen
 hello! today i will write about my future job The job I would like to have in the future is a job where I can be with people and help them. I hope that my job will make me very happy. I would not want my job to consume my life, however if I were happy I would not mind dedicating many hours of my life to my job.  I would like to travel and for that I am thinking of two options: First, I would like to have a job where I earn enough money to be able to travel. Second, I would like to be a researcher and travel to different parts of Latin America studying and researching as a social psychologist.  I am studying psychology, and as I mentioned before, I would like to specialize in social psychology. I went into psychology because I really liked the content and because I really like the humanities and social sciences. However, I also really wanted to study sociology. I was always excited about the idea of studying psychology, but I was not so excited about the idea of being a clinical psycho

my experience studying in pandemic

Imagen
 Hello! today I will write about my experience studying in pandemic. I study psychology at the Facultad de Ciencias Sociales at the Universidad de Chile. I am in the second year of my career.    finally chose psychology because I feel that it is a career that unites many things. I believe that being a psychologist will allow me to help many people and it also allows me to study subjects that interest me.  Studying online has been complex. There are many difficulties such as: harmonizing university life and home life, concentrating, interacting with professors and classmates, being able to attend all the classes (sometimes there is no good internet, sometimes there is no good mood).  At least in my career there is a lot of group work, that helped me to meet more classmates and make friends (I am very fond of them), I am looking forward to the end of the pandemic and be able to see them.  On the one hand, the pandemic and the confinement make me feel lonely, tired and in a bad mood, that

Pandemic

Imagen
Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well.  This week I will write about the pandemic   I believe that a general mental health problem generated in the pandemic is anxiety. this may be due to the confinement and uncertainty caused by the pandemic. I have personally experienced this mental health problem in the general population.  To cope with the confinement I try to have a routine (although in this situation it is very difficult) and do things that I like. For example: I try to do yoga every morning, not miss the most important meals, cook, tidy up, spend time with my sister and brother; and maintain basic things like getting up every day (even that is hard to do sometimes).  The pandemic has meant a radical change in people's lives. It has taken us away from our nearest and dearest, and it has also meant a constant state of stress, which in excess can lead to mental health problems. It has also reflected, in countries like ours, the great inequality and problems of the majority

my favorite vacations

  Hi teacher, girls and boys, today I will write about my favorite vacation!    One summer I went to Torres del Paine with my beautiful friends: Belen, Mariel, Melany, Jota and Jorge. We spent two weeks there and they were the most fun and weirdest of my life. Torres del Paine is a commune located in the south of Chile, it is a really beautiful place.   The first day melany went out to take pictures with jota and they got lost! we had to go out and look for them but we got lost too and we had no signal on the cell phone! finally they helped us to get back and we found ourselves in the cabin, it was so much fun.  A nother funny thing that happened to us was that while we were visiting the national park, we met the singer of a "cumbia rachera(?" band "los charros del humaco" Jorge recognized him and we all took a picture with him. After listening to "Los Charros del Humaco" we listened to the whole trip. And this is my best vacation because I was wit
