Changes to the study program

I am, right now, studying third year of journalism at Universidad de Chile, but it feels like I have been at this college for, like, eight years. I am actually tired of this and the only thing I really want to do is finish this whole process. But of course, I still have, at least, three more years to go. 


As I have been here for this long, I think I can say that the course has its positives and negatives. I’m gonna focus on some things I think can change in our Journalism School. 


I think one of the things that is missing in this course are more practices: the working environment in journalism can be tough sometimes, and only one practice in the whole career is very little and I think it won’t make us be really prepared for the reality of the profession. 


In other ways, I think the are serious failures in our curriculum related to english. I don't know if the solution is to have more english subjects (english 5/6/7) or take the ones that already exist and make those more complex. But the level of English could be higher, and I think we could have changes in that subject. I'm not saying this is the teachers fault, I think the faculty says to them what they have to teach to the students.

A Country I would like to visit: England - London

  During my three years of studies in college, I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do after I finish, especially when the subject is the specialization I wanna go for in journalism. My first option, and the one I hope I can go for is a master degree in Fashion Journalism. I've been looking for months for places all around the world where I could take that master, and I found one in London - England. The name of the school I want to go to is Fashion School of London, and it's a postgraduate course that lasts two years.  I know London is a very cold and rainy city, as well as most part of the United Kingdom. I must say I hate the cold and rain, so that might be an issue for me; I also know that is one of the most important capitals of fashion around the world, which also helps because that's the area I want to go for in communications. But another main reason why I want to go there is because I could visit other places, such as York, Manchester, or other countri

Time Travel to the future

  My perspective on the future of this planet is very negative. I think that it's way more certain that the human race will destroy most part of themselves slowly and painfully instead of saving themselves: we can already see that, with the amount of changes in the environment that we caused. That is why I would not like to travel to the future, at least not in the next one hundred years, or more.  I think that at some point, most part of us will die and just some of us will survive. After that, human race will have to be able to start again at some point. What some people suggest is that the salvation of human race is not in saving the earth, but going to space and living on other planet, like Mars (that sounds quite similar to a certain book I read...). I think that could happen at some point, but people can't deceive themselves: only a few will be able to travel to Mars, because it is and will continue to be for a long time a very, very expensive traveling, only for the rich

Songs and memories that make me nostalgic

Imagen
There are two songs I could think about when it comes to memories... I don't think they are exactly about moments, they are more about the feelings that I had in that time.  The first song is "We'll be coming back" from Calvin Harris. It reminds me of mid-2014, I was very young and I listened to a lot of EDM (Electronic Dance Music) at that time; I loved Calvin Harris and I had a very good friend at that time that also loved edm. Our favorite thing to do was to listen to it at school, or in our way home. It was an uncomplicated time, I didn't have many real issues in life, but as a teenager, I still thought that I had so many problems. I can't remember if I really had them, but I miss those times and treasure them in my mind. The second song is "Young dumb and broke" by Khalid. This song was launched weeks before I left high school, so it reminds me of that time; also, the lyrics are about two people that were at high school. Me and my friends though
