My study program

I am in the third year of psychology, that means that I have done approximately 40 courses. In the first year we have introductory courses about the different areas of social sciencies. For example we have antropology, sociology, philosophy, history, and others classes. That has pros and cons, because many times we don`t know nothing about other careers and that help us to see different options, but also is difficult know if we like psichology or not if we haven`t courses about this area. After that we begin to enter to the psychology. We have personality psichology, basic processes of learning, neurophysiology, developmental psychology, etc. In that period you can get into the various topics of our profession, that allows you have a general idea about the principals aspects worked in a cross-cutting manner in psychology. However, I think that the principal part of my Study Program that can help you to know what you want to do is in the first semester of the third year, because in tha...

Free Post 3: My free time

Imagen
In my free time I love be in my home. Even though that doesn`t sound like an activity, in that place I can do many activities that I love. Always when I am in the university, or in a friend´s house, or even when I am traveling I await to be in my home. I know for many people that sound very boring and inclusive a little weird, but since I was a child I always enjoy to much be in my house, because makes me feel very comfortable and quiet. Besides, many activities that I love I do it in my home, the principal is sleep. Everybody needs sleep, but I think that I do it like a hobby. When I have a little time I use to take a nap, longer than I can. After that all the things are better. Besides, in my home I like cook too. Even though I only knew how to do noodles, now I am learning to prepare different dishes with vegetables, seeds and a variety of condiments. Other important activity that I like do in my free time (only if I haven´t things to study), is watch series in netflix. In the...

Summer Holidays

Imagen
Because the semester is close to finish, its a good moment to start thinking in the summer vacations. With my brother Simón and my little sister Gracia we have to go to visit my big brother Ismael, who lives in Chiloé. The idea is have a "siblings meeting". We are absolutely different, inclusive the opposite, but I hope that we can enjoy and spend a good time together. The travel probably will be in December. Besides, my mother lives in Maitencillo, for that I will go there some days or weeks in the summer. She is traveling for the Amazon until December, when she arrives I hope can go to visit her. The rest of the vacations I will be in Santiago because I plan to start to help in SENAME like volunteer. With a friend of the career we going to offer our disposal to a center of SENAME who works with childs from the moment of birth until eight years old. Maybe some days I will go to Talca to see my friends and sister, but I hope can rest in Santiago the majority of the time...

Postgrade Studies

In the first place when I finish undergraduate I'd like continue study in other country. I think the reason to get out isn`t the level of the course in comparation with Chile, maybe is because I`d like to travel on my own, think, grow up, discover what I want when no one is with me, learn about myself. With respect to the place that I`d like to study I think that although United States is well positioned in the area of Psichology I prefer other countries.  I'm not sure where but I think maybe in Spain or England. The last one (University College London)  is the second place in the international ranking of OECD in Psichology. I have to investigate about wich country is better qualified in social psichology for decide. I have to analyse this when the time comes, because the places I'd like to work in a future maybe require a specialization in Chile. The area of Juridical Psichology address subjects very specific, and for that I think that probably a good place to do the p...

My future job

When I think in my future many images come to me. I know that I want to work in any of the many areas of Juridical Psychology. About that I'm very interesting especially in the atenttion of victims of violence or abuse. Besides I´d like work in family courts helping children in the process of divorce, tuition, visits, etc. Maybe the work in some organization or institution working with childs in social risk and whose rights have been violated is what motivates me the most. Ultimately the SENAME has been cuestioned and is the focus of many speeches and political campaigns, for that reason I think that it's a good moment to get involved and generate changes. In this context the physical space to work probably will be an office. I hope that with the time other zones be created thinking in the requirements of the children, making spaces where we could work with them in a warm and comfortably way. About the salary, I think that I'm not worry in this moment about that. I thin...

Free Post 2 : My tangled family

I am going to talk about my family. To begin with, for the side of my mother (Mónica), she has nine brothers. While my father (Felipe) has two sisters. In the first marriage of my mother, she had two daughters, named Andrea and Claudia. At the same time, my father had a son, Ismael. After some years, My mother and father were divorced from their partners and after that they met and got married.

Free Post 1: Munchies

Imagen
I wanna talk about food, but not any food. This post is about that food called munchies. Munchies are that junk food that you cant stop thinking after it appears in you head. In my life the munchies have a central role, I wake up and I go to bed thinking in my munchies. Obviously they have been changing with the time (and with the market). In the last months, my principal munchies have been potato chips (lays brand) and "bon o bon" cookies. Before that, the "Rolls" were something addictive to me. Turning to my actually munchies, I have to say that lays potato chips are the best, in comparision with other brands, the lays potato chips are more tasty, salty and crunchy. To the other side, the bon o bon cookies have a incredible mix of soft and sweet, and in the pack comes ONLY  NINE!!, which means that I always want more. Despite everything I told you just now, I know that this food are very harmful, and for that I live trying to avoid it. Many times I can´t do any...
