Jack of all trades, master of none

I really don’t know what I would do to change the study program of psychology, even doe I know that are some changes I could do. The thing with this career is that is very varied, because when you think about it, we are trying to study the human mind, or maybe the most apropiate term is that we are asking ourselves the question of subjectivity itself, and are the same numbers of interpretations that ways to see the human being, epistemologically, philosophically, and historically speaking. Having that said, it gets really complicated to show everybody all the choices but at the same time not overwhelming them with a lot of things they don’t really care. The classes that the career has in the first semester are really necessary in my opinion, because we need to know about the other study fields in near to us like Philosophy, History, Anthropology, Sociology and of course Psycology. But I think it’s a problem that people like me had to wait so long to discover what I get in in t

T-H-E E-N-D

It’s been quite a ride in this English class, with some new experiences that I didn’t have at my English classes at school.  I never used a blog before for example, and it’s a weird experience, because is in English of course, but also because it’s a space where you can write anything you want about anything you like, it’s a free speech area. In my time in this university I get used to write about authors and everything that me and my classmates put in our papers are not original thoughts, because someone else said it before and if you want to talk about something and put your name on it, because it’s really yours, you have to wait to do your thesis. Having said that it’s really refreshing to just write whatever you want to say and give opinions without the fear of falling into plagiarism. Im not going to lie, I haven’t learn a lot of English in this class, because I always like English and I practice it a lot mostly listening to music, watching programs and movies and also tr

Holy-Days

In the past 4 years my vacations have been divided in 3 stages. Stage number one is going to the south of Chile, specifically in one of the islands near to the Great Island of Chiloé. This is because I’m member of a group that does this every year in order to help people over there, making things like puppet shows to the children in the morning and after lunch going to the people’s houses and help them in domestic chores. The structure changes every year but that’s basically what we do over there. We get very tired but is also really fun. The second stage is in the first part of February, when me and my family go to Tongoy, that is a little town close to La Serena and has a beautiful beach were we can swim. Most of the times me and my family (my parents and my two little sisters) go with our 4 grandparents, so we are nine and we have a fun time. The third stage is the second part of February and I usually travel with my friends as far away as the hitch-hike and the money can take

Youtube saved my life

Imagen
I don’t like social networks. Im saying this but constantly use them, and its kind of sad to not being able to leave them because they are so addictive. Even though , I only have Whatsapp and Facebook to communicate with my friends and I don’t use Instagram, Snapchat or that kind of social networks. There is a social network (if you can call it that way) that deserves a second chance, and that’s Youtube. If you enter to the main page of Youtube you can find a lot of videos that are not necessary of everybody interest, but they try really hard to make the attempt with videos like gameplays, songs in the top of the charts and the latest sports events. This changes a lot if you begin to use it with an account, because in the main page begin to appear things that you watch and enjoy, and gets better if you subscribe to channels because you get notifications to every new video of channels that you like. Instead of watching the same kind of stuff in the internet like fail compilatio

Post Graduated Sudies

I think is weird to think that are more studies after we graduate, is almost a requirement if you want to get a good job, and I don’t understand why. I mean it’s ok to study more if you want to, but is almost like we are obligated to do it if you really want to work in something that you want and it’s also really expensive, and I heard that are not a lot scholarships to afford it so it’s a really good business for the university. But well, putting myself in that scene maybe I would like to do a doctorate in something that I’m interested, and considering all of the things I studied so far in the career it’s really probable that it would have to do with the psychoanalysis area. The only problem is that I would have to read a lot, and I’m not very good at it, but I guess that if the reading it’s interesting I would read it in order to investigate something I like. There are a lot of things to do in that area so I guess right now I have an open mind to decide what to do in that specific fi

My Future Job

  I really don’t know what I’m going to do for a living after I get out of this campus. I’m currently studying psychology so I guess there’s a big chance that I end up listening to people’s problems in an office with a couch where people can lay down while I’m writing in a little notebook their life’s traumas. Even that’s pretty probable; I don’t think that’s the only way around. I mean, there are a lot of things that you can do as a psychologist, and that is just one of them. Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of listening to people, is just that I prefer to think that is a surprise element in it and I can end up in many places. I hope my future job is something that I can enjoy, something that I can have fun doing it, or at least something I can be proud of even it isn’t that fun. I don’t want to end up like the guy that works in some job he thinks is unethical but does it anyway for the money or the facilities. That just doesn’t sound right to me. Well that’s what I’m saying n

Half Time

It’s curious, but i don’t really know what i want to be yet. I mean I am studying psychology and I’m going to graduate of course, but I still have a long path to continue and I don’t know where I’m going to end.  The first 5 semesters of the career where kind of boring, there where subjects I didn’t really care about and it was kind of depressing, but in some way I still want to carry on because I had faith that it would get better, and it kind of happened. Past the first half of the career, in this semester we had the opportunity of choosing between a various numbers of elective subjects, with the condition that in the three semesters that we have left, we have to take at least one of each labor field. This gave me more freedom to choose what things I could like more and it’s been more fun since then, and finally I can see a future ahead of this career. Especially in the psychoanalysis subjects I remembered why I choose this career above others when I was in school. This has
