Well, I like very much teaching of that university. I think that environment at the University of Chile is so good because the teachers, students and officials are very humble and excellent professionals.  However, there are some things that I would like to change. For example, I believe that the workload it's the worst thing in the university, because the essays and works of differents subjects they are coupled and this is so terrible :(   I think that would be good that to change some of the programme related with this. Perhaps with workload without so much time at the week and to optimize the hours of study and works, so avoid trouble like this. Also (this is a personal opinion), I think that the programme of subjects has some that doesn't has relation with the Journalism totally, such as subjects related with semiotic and study of images. This doesn't mean that these subjects aren't useful...on the contrary! Are very...

This year has been so fast, and in few days we will to take a eternal rest, finally <3. In that days, first I will to take a big nap, because this year I slept a little for the university and theirs works :( After of that, I would to travel to any place. I don't have any plans for now, but I hope to visit my bestfriend Nicolas, who live in Curico, south of Chile. I love so much the south. I believe that the true calm are in that place. Their beautiful landscapes such as lake, the hills and big fields was a perfect options for to relax, especially if that is with friends. I remember when I went to Curico in the summer of 2015. Me and my friends: Juan Pablo, Bruno and Nicolas were traveling for two or three weeks. That experience was awesome, because we were very excited for our first travel without pare...

Hi everyone! Today I will talk about my favorite food. My favorite food is Peruvian ceviche. When I was a little kid, my mom always cooked me ceviche. My mom didn't like, but she did it  because she knew that I loved that plate. My father is a expert for to do that plate. When we traveled to the south of Chile, I was going to fish in the lake of Frutillar, a commune of the Region de Los Lagos, and my father taught me to fish with large hours for to make dinner late. What a beautiful memories! Currently, I have eaten different kinds of ceviche, because I usually go to the Peruvian restaurant with my parents because we love that plate. A little secret: If I had not studied Journalism i would like to study gastronomy! Because I love the food and specifically plates like that! I believe that this plates are very important for the Peruvian culture, because its ingredients are typical of that country, such as camote and chili rocoto, besides the onions, corn, ...

Well, when i finish my studies at this universtiy, I hope to keep studing more in the area of communications. In the future, I would like to specialize in the sports area of journalist, but not necessarily in this country, so I would love to study in some country more specialist in that ambit like a Spain, England or Argentina. The first and second country are very interesting alternatives for to dedicate in the sports area because they have a lot of media related with that, such as newspapers like a Marca, AS, Gazzeta dello Sport and others. The last one is the option that I like the most, because this country live the sports. The sports in Argentina are passion, and that is the principal reason and incentive for to specialize there. Besides this, and attached form to this, I would like to learn a little more of play music. One of my personal pleasures is to play guitar, so I hope to play a little better ! I would like to do this in the nights, because I d...

The Black Swan is a american psychological film directed by Darren Aronofsky and premiered in 2010. Is starring for Natalie Portman ,  Vincent Cassel  and  Mila Kunis   was a very recognized and awarded film for their heavy content and strong pychological themes in the daily life. The plot of this movie is about the life of Nina Sayers, who dances in a prestigious school academy of ballet. The director in charge, Thomas Leroy, offered him to be the principal dancer for the act that will come in the next weeks: Swan's lake. That election was a very important event for Nina, untill the point that she was in a really dificult strugle that cause a high confusion in her head, for the pression she even get to murdered her best friend, Lily. In the final scene, Nina was crazy and out of her mind and commited suicide (this is my favorite act of the movie). I really like this film because the plot is very interesting , but that isn't enough with...

The best vacation ever that I had was in June 2015 when I went to Curicó, south of Chile. I traveled to that place with my school friends to the house of my best friend Nicolas that he lived in that region since his childhood. This vacation was very important for me because the place was a perfect to relax and spend a great time with a good company. In Curicó there are beautiful landscapes such as huge hills and big grounds where we enjoyed while playing music with my ukelele, guitars and a yembe. I went to Curicó for a week and was a very good instance for meet people and know my friend a little more. I believe that this kind of travel is crucial to strengthen ties of the people that I love, and this example was a unique and exciting experience. This picture shows one of the moments more funny of the travel: when my friends and me climb a house roof and play music for hours.
