Changes to my study programme

Welcome to my new post! This time I'll be talking about my career and how it's carried out at my university. I will also expose my point of view on the subjects that I've had to take and all those things. Personally, I think that the study programme of my career is well done at my university, because it includes various aspects that are important for our development as future workers of what we study. The curriculum that they have made for us gives us all the necessary things to be able to have a good knowledge of psychology. This can be reflected in the different aspects that are taught in the subjects, such as biology, history and philosophy, for example. Regarding the workload, I can say that it's not as much as it seems, you just have to organize your times well, although it's true that in some subjects we have to read a lot, as if we don't have more subjects. But the length of studies seems appropiate to me for all the contents that we have to see and learn

Time travel to the future

Hi everyone, welcome to my new post! Have you ever thought about what it would be like to travel in time? This is something we've seen in various fiction films, so I have no doubt that at least once in your lives you've imagined it. In my case, I think that if I had the possibility to travel in time to the future I would like to go to the city where I live right now: Santiago de Chile. The reason why is that I'm feeling intrigued to know about how everything will change, or maybe everything will stay very similar to how it is today. But it depends on how many years I'd like to go into the future... It's a little complicated to decide what specific point of time I would like to travel to, but I guess it wouldn't be to one very far from today, because the future is uncertain and I would also like to know what would become of my family at that point. An despite everything that I could find there I don't think I'd like to stay in the future, because I feel t

My future job

Hello! At a certain point in our lives we all need to start working, and as I've said in previous posts I'm studying psychology, but how will my work be when working as a psychologist? Well, this job being with one person or a group of people makes it indoors. This favors the way in wich the work happens, allowing me to develop things in a particular way, especially in cases in wich it's necessary to work with an 'in-depth therapy'. And even though this is not a travel-friendly job, it's very satisfying when you can see the results in people, making the effort and the few possibilities of travel worth it. If we talk about the salary that psychologists earn in Chile, I think it is something quite variable, although to be honest it's something I don't want to think about right now. This is because what has brought me to study psychology is not the salary, it's the way in wich I can work and help people at the same time. So, just as for me it was more i

My dearest cat

Hi! I dare say that people can always count on the company of their pets (if you have one, of course), so we look for them every time we want to play or show affection to them. They become a member of the family, giving us unconditional love all the time. That's amazing. As much as my beautiful cat is! My cat is the only pet I've ever had, and he has been with us (my family and I) since January 2019. His name is Yoongi and he was about three months old when we brought him home. Before that, he was picked up from the street by a friend of my sister, who found him with one of his paws run over (but he was able to recover from that!!). So, it was because of my sister that we met him and decided to bring him to our home, as I said before. At the beginning it was a little complicated for our parents to let us have a cat or a pet, because animals need the same care that a child needs, so to speak. But now that he is with us they love him as much as we do, and I'm sure they couldn

Psychology: a look at mental health

Welcome to my new post! Today I'm going to talk about the university career that I'm studying, because I think it's important to know the way that it helps people. First, I have to say that a lot of people think that going to the psychologist is only for "crazy people", in terms of what they understand about it, but that's wrong. Those prejudices in our society are a limit for people to go to therapy, especially in countries like the one where I live: Chile. It's for that reason that I'm taking this opportunity to talk about it. Lately we've been able to notice the consequences of going through a pandemic, in physical and mental aspects. The tiredness and axiety have been more present than usual, so we've had to learn to survive feeling those things. This has exposed the need to be careful about mental problems, mostly because they can be more common than people think. That's why today more than ever we have to give mental health the import

The best concert ever

Hello! Don't you think music is something very important in our lives? I mean, it's something that is always present in our daily lives and is our company during our different moods. Also, we can live the experience of live shows of our favorite artists, it's amazing! Photo by Baz Halpin via  FRAME . The truth is I've never had a chance to go to a concert in person, but that isn't an impediment to see one because you can still be a part of it from your own house, in your own room. How? Thanks to the internet streaming medias, such as Netflix. That's how I was able to see the Taylor Swift's  reputation Stadium Tour , which had dates in United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. It's very exciting that we can see the whole concert, with all the performances of the show. You can see and feel the enjoyment of the audience, even more so if you are a fan. All the people with lots of emotions there. You can't get over

A country I would like to visit

Hi everyone! I'm here today because I want to share with all of you a country that I'd like to visit.  I was thinking about a country I'd like to go to and it's really difficult to choose just one, but I think Italy is a beautiful place. There are many interesting things that I would like to see, like the Roman Colosseum or the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I want to go there!  Roman Colosseum One of the reasons why I would like to go to Italy is: I’ve never been out of my country, so when I can get a chance to go to another one I’d really like to visit a country with lots of places to see (like the beautiful landscapes that in this case Italy has) and with lots of things to be able to do. Also, it's exciting to be where many things that we know about history happened. I'm sure that I could do a lot of things there. I would like to visit as many places as possible and collect a lot of memories. I've talked about traveling to Italy, but I think it could be interesti
