Why did I choose my major?

For me, it was not an easy job to choose what I wanted to study, what I wanted to dedicate myself to for the rest of my life (that's what they tell you) because since I was little I think I always, without having much notion about what studying medicine entailed, ''I liked it'', but quickly when I entered school and had biology I realized that it was definitely not my thing and that I didn't like it either. One of the options I wanted the most when I was already aware that I had to make a decision, was to be a hostess, I think it was my biggest dream and for a long time, I really wanted it, but the opinions and prejudices of others made me gradually lose the taste for it. Here I began to like the idea of joining the Chilean Investigations Police (PDI), but the truth is that I always imagined myself in the university, not in a boarding school, so I was not very convinced.

After many doubts, uncertainties and frustrations, I began to consider psychology, because one of the last years in school I had classes and I was doing very well, I really liked the teacher and little by little I got to like it more and more every day. I also discovered that there was the specialty of legal psychology and psychological expertise, which so far is one of those that I like the most (although I do not refuse the possibility of studying another). In fact, it is a little close to the work that I considered studying in the PDI, so, with the pressure of having less and less time, I decided to choose this one.

Today, I am happy with my decision, every day I find it a little more entertaining, although at the beginning I was very scared and I could not adapt, I got frustrated and more than once I ended up crying, because it was stressful not being able to interact with others, for this reason, I would like to have on-site classes, because at that time I can say with certainty and security that I made a good decision.

Food

My favorite food without a doubt are french fries (fries, not pre-fries), which sincerely affect apparently more my physical health, since every time I eat them, I get a lot of pimples, because of the amount of oil they have, so I try to avoid them as much as possible, although the truth is I eat them quite often, because near my house, there are many places where they sell them. I'm not a big fan of making fried foods because it leads to having the house smelling of oil, so I avoid it, although it is not difficult to make them, honestly it makes me very lazy, you just need to peel potatoes, cut them lengthwise and fry them. I like them because they can be served with many foods, as well as eaten alone with a sauce, I like them with homemade garlic mayonnaise preferably or with ketchup.

A photo and its story

Imagen
This photo was taken by me, 2 years ago, more or less in May 2019, in my trip to San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, this place is the well known ''Moon Valley'' that without a doubt makes you feel like you are on Mars (a bit ironic because of its name), it is a beautiful landscape, I really like this photo mainly because I took it, besides the colors, although they are edited and perhaps today I would not edit this picture as I did at the time, I still find it very nice, also seeing it takes me to that day, to those vacations where I had such a good time, in fact it even gives me a little nostalgia. If I could go back to that day, no doubt I would have taken many more pictures, although the camera will never be able to appreciate how beautiful that place is, and how beautiful the colors are there.

A subject i enjoy studying

One of the subjects I liked the most at school, was psychology, since it was the elective I took that year. I think it was what made me decide a little bit about what I wanted to study, since, as I said in a previous blog, I had a hard time making this decision. In this class we mainly looked at attachment styles, and the repercussions they had throughout our lives. Thanks to this content I think I developed a taste for psychology and I loved this topic at that time, because I could identify myself and what I saw in class I applied it a little in my life, besides, the classes were very entertaining. That is why, to this day, one of the subjects that has come closer to this, is called basic psychological processes, although not all of its content is based on attachments and the repercussions they have in our lives, we have seen basic emotions, motivations, attachments, emotions, among others, which are certainly very interesting, I really like it because many times I have identified...
