Post 4: What's like to study psychology?


What's like to study psychology? 

 I study psychology at Universidad de Chile in the Social Science Faculty. I choose this career because I would like to help improve people's mental health and I am also interested in learning about how the processes of our mind develop, for example, language development, internalization of symbols, among others.

Due to the pandemic, from my first year of studies to the present, my classes are online.  The online classes have been difficult because my internet connection is unstable, so sometimes I have to watch the class recordings. Also, I don't know my classmates in person, so sometimes the interaction is complicated. In addition to the above, having to spend so many hours in front of the computer is exhausting both physically and mentally.

When I started college, it was hard for me to make friends, so at first, since I didn't know anyone, I didn't have anyone to share my doubts, but then I made friends and things got better. Despite that, at present I have few friends since it is a bit more difficult to interact in the virtual context.

I hope that when we return to face-to-face classes it will not be difficult to interact with my classmates since I am shy and outgoing.

 Post 1: A country you would like to visit Which country would you like to go to? Why? The place I would like to visit is France Because I consider that is a place with beautiful monuments, architecture and nature. What do you know about it? I know about France that has a good and delicious gastronomy, in this country is Paris that is considered the capital of love, it  is also in Europe. What would you like to do there? I would like go to Eiffel Tower, typical food places, Palace of Versailles and Niza. Also to learn about its culture and history. I would like to visit museums and theaters. Would you like to study/ work/ live there? Explain France seems like a nice place to live, both structurally and naturally, and because of its culture. So I would like to study a postgraduate degree there, and then work and live there for a while. Although I consider that it would be difficult for me to learn the language a little and I would not like to be away from my family, so if I had  planned

Why did you choose this career/study programme?

 When I was a child, I used to dream of being a veterinary. However, when I grew up I not longer wanted to be, because I could not bear to see the suffering that animals had and I did not want to perform operations on them for fear of hurting them. When I applied to university my only option was psychology, but in high school, I thought about studying medical technology. But I decided on psychology because my intention was to be able to help the well-being of people. I also had a good score on my history test, which made it easier for me to enter the university I wanted. So far I have had a good university experience, despite the fact that since it is my first year I still do not know the university due to the pandemic. The best thing about my experience has been the friends that I have found in this process. In the future I would like to work in a foundation that helps children with cancer or some type of disease that deteriorates their lives.
