HOW CAN YOUR MAJOR MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE

Imagen
 Hi everyone, Well, I had already mentioned that I’m studying architecture, I think it’s a very important career since it’s responsible for creation of cities and therefore, spaces where we live, due to technological advances, architecture has developed better comfort and quality of life, as has been seen over time. In the process, I imagine myself contributing to the improvement of people's habitat, and innovation of buildings and public spaces, but with the least invasive implementation possible for the environment. I think architecture has reached a very important level of development in recent years, not only in creativity but also in sustainability thanks to many advances in field, more and more ideas seek to go hand in hand with the natural environment, and I think that benefits both us and the planet. It’s one of the most outstanding points for me in current architecture, and I’ll contribute as best I can.

A PHOTOGRAPH AND ITS STORY

 Hi classmates! This is probably one of the most nostalgic photographs I have, and of which I'm proud, given the context of the situation. The last day of a holiday in the countryside, I found 2 newborn kittens alone, I didn’t worry much about them, because I thought their mother would come soon, and I didn’t touch them so she wouldn’t reject them. At night I went to say goodbye to them, they were still alone and crying a lot, but we had to leave. When we got into the car, I told my mom what was happening, she told me we couldn’t take them because we already had cats and this was more responsibility, but I insisted if we didn’t rescue them, they would die, because there were many foxes in that place, and probably they had already hunted their mother cat. Finally, I convinced her, and we improvised a little bed in a box and got them into the car. We couldn’t leave them there. This photo reminds me a good deed we did that day, especially because as soon as they felt us, they be...

A MEAL OR FOOD YOU REALLY LIKE

Hi again!, personally there’re many foods that I like a lot, but I think the one I like the most of all is Lasagna, basically it’s made with; Lasagna sheets, cheese, Bolognese sauce and Bechamel sauce, this is ordered in layers, being the base of lasagna sheets, then Bolognese sauce, then Bechamel sauce, and finally cheese. The same pattern of ingredients mounted one on top of the other is repeated, the number of layers is optional, and finally baked for half an hour. Probably the reason why I like lasagna is the combination of ingredients, that I haven’t tasted in other foods, there’s also lasagna with vegetables, but personally I prefer the simple recipe, since I don’t like the combination of cheese with vegetables. Isn’t healthy food at all, especially considering that it is made from 2 types of sauce in which each one has a combination of ingredients rich in fats and calories, so I don’t usually consume large amounts because it causes me discomfort. I don’t consume it often eit...

MY FAVORITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY

  Hello classmates, today I´ll comment about my favorite piece of technology, which is my computer. I had computers for a long time, but the one I have now I acquired it 4 years ago. I use it for university work, to watch series or movies, and also to play video games in my free time. Nowadays I usually occupy it much more due to online classes, around 9 hours every day. I really like it because I can do all kinds of activities with it, both for work and recreation or research. Previously I did not use it so much, so I wouldn´t have noticed many changes if I had not had it, but today and with the current situation it´s very necessary for my projects, so without it would be almost impossible to continue with my studies, it became a necessary piece of technology for me.

WHY DID I CHOOSE MY MAJOR?

Hi classmates, I’m currently studying architecture at the university, but it was not a decision I had long been clear about, as a child I had many ideas about my future work, I wanted to be a doctor, a lawyer, a researcher, a designer and even an athlete, but I was very hesitant and every time my preference changed. When I was about to enter university I still had so many study options that I didn’t decided, I thought in which career I could be good according to my high school performance, and my choices were; engineering, law, design and medicine, but finally I reflected on what really attracted me, not only that I was good, rather in what area I would be happy to exercise in the future, and I decided to study architecture because what attracted me most was design, innovation and creation, but in large scale, I imagined that this career would have a lot to do with that, and so it turned out. So far, I have had many good experiences, I have met many people who today are my friends ...

Who am I?

  Hi, I'm Cindy, I'm 20 years old, I'm from La Serena, but I was born in La Calera, although I haven´t memory of that place because I never lived there. I like movies, especially action movies, I also like pastry, music in general and traveling, I hope to get to know other countries in the future. I´m an architecture student at the faculty, I never really had a special preference for any career, and just at the time I had to apply to one ,  when I realized architecture caught my attention, I was especially curious to learn, and I really do not regret that decision because I have learned many more things than I thought. Regarding my family, I live only with my mother, I never knew my father and I haven´t siblings, I really like being only child because with my mother we complement very well, she is very understanding and open-minded, we have a lot of communication, she has always been like that, we both know each other well and support each other in everything. We have c...

Personal Information

How safe is to give your personal information on websites such as facebook, my space and any others? For people who are well informed and keep their personal data private, it's much safer, but they are not out of danger, because just as there are ways to hide certain information, there are also others to reveal it, and there are not a few criminals who know how to handle accounts, but even worse is the fact that many people are not informed about how exposed their private life is, that is why they are easily to mislead.   What’s the limit for you? Personally, I think there's no limit, since nowadays with technological advances the mere fact of writing your own name makes you vulnerable, unfortunately social networks are practically part of people's lives, the best we can do is not to register real information.
