THIS YEAR...

I think I already wrote about this in another post, however, more things happened in my life during this year. Well, something that has shaped my academic life this year is a “student crisis”, I have feel demotivated in class, but the problem is not with my career, I think I would not be happy studying another thing, I really like psychology, but I am not in love with it. I don’t believe this crisis is a terrible thing, but the social pressure and expectations make me feel bad sometimes… they suppose I have to love my career, studying hard, think about my future in relation to psychology, but I don’t do it, I am not so interesting in this part of my life. Like I said in older posts: I want to do new things, I want to live, in my life to be a great psychology is not my first goal, the most important goal is to be happy.

An important achievement in this year was travel to Punta Arenas, I wanted go to a far place and this year I did it, without parents, just two classmates and me J and we went aboard in a plane!

A thing I have not done yet is travel out of the country, but I think this will have to wait to the next year, I really want go to Peru.

This year was a great year because now, thinking about it, I realized that the bad things were little things and I can fix them, in fact, I will fix them! I have to get a job, lose weight and wait for my hair grow up L if I do this things, the next year will be better.

Music :)

I like many, many rock bands and singers , but I am not a fan of anything . I do not like it . In Addition, most of it the time are specific songs That I like , not groups. However , if I had to choose , I choose porque Coldplay is the band That I like all the songs ( though not all the songs I hear With The same pleasure ) .
Coldplay is a British alternative rock band formed in 1996 ( in London ) . The band members are Chris Martin , Jon Buckland , Guy Berryman and Will Champion.
Coldplay has always been an active group of several political and social causes. This is one of the Reasons Because I like them . Other reason is Their songs make me feel peace , happiness, Coldplay only make me feel That Way .
My favorite song is Life in Technicolor II , Besides the letter and lovely melody this song has an amazing video.

I really like rock, classic punk , sometimes a little bit of pop and Indie music ( this is like soft rock ) . I think music today is horrible , I hate reggaeton , bachata and boring neo hippie rock , like the last Chilean singers ( Camila Moreno or Manuel Garcia , for example) , I hate the excessive romantic music too , like Ricardo Arjona :/ and I don ' t like hip hop.
 I like When the music is messy , tune a little crazy and rebel , when it make you feel free , strong , a little angry , a little melancholic ...

HOW GREEN AM I?

I’ll be very honest about this: i am not Green enough. I would like be more responsible with my not ecological behavior, sometimes is expensive to be green. However, I make little things that I think help our planet, for example: I am very conscious about the water I use, even more when I wash dishes or brush my teeth, I hate hear the sound of waste water in the washstand! Another contribution I make is avoid use plastic bags in the supermarket, I try to carry my groceries in my bag back, I also use my own refiller water bottle, I buy used clothes, I prefer buy not packing fruits and vegetables in street markets, I buy biodegradable cosmetic products and I prefer not animal tested products.  I have not car and I think maybe I’ll never have it, I don’t like them and I would spend that money travelling  the last green thing I remember is that I put all my glass bottles in the Coaniquem container.

I know all that things are very tiny contributions, but at least I try… I would like recycle everything, paper, plastic, organic waste. I would like eat only organic food, but this is so expensive! I think is very important create a real green conscious, sometimes people is inconsiderate whit their own planet, their home, but this is just ignorance… I remember one day I say this to somebody who brush her teeth: “please cut off water when you don’t use it”, this person answer me this: “why? Are you paying for it?” Very sad and disturbing, isn’t it?

We go to Punta Arenas!

Today i will write about a travel to Punta Arenas that I’ll make the next week.  The reason of this travel is a psychology Congress in Magallanes University, so me and my friends Carolina and Leslie will take a plane to Punta arenas the next Sunday.

I am so excited with all of this, I think I am getting old, not too old but is time to start new things, then travel alone  seem like a good way to prove me that I am more independent and brave now, However, my parents pay for this travel, because I am a poor student yet!

We are planning the travel for months ago, we rented an apartment, find out addresses and street names, think about food, clothes, prices, etc.  Yesterday I was thinking that in Punta Arenas there isn´t cordillera! That will be so weird… we definitely need a compass.

Is very cold there, people say that worst in the Punta Arenas weather is the wind.  Good that I’m not too sensitive to cold! I actually prefer the cold instead of heat. However, I hope nights will not so cold, because we want to go out to see how party in Punta Arenas is (not too expensive, I hope).

I can’t believe how fast time has passed, I hope this travel will be a great experience.

We don't know if antidepressants work

In recent years there has been considerable controversy about the effectiveness of antidepressants. This issue is very important when we take into account that now doctors prescribe antidepressants for too much people.

One of the reasons that so many people prescribed antidepressants is often not well understood what depression is, sometimes confusing it with being sad or being depressed. However, depression is much more than that, it is a disease that continues over time, affecting the life and physical health of people with this disease, this can last months or even years and may even lead to suicide.

In this regard, there have been numerous studies, however, these studies are conducted by pharmaceutical companies, and because of this, the results are not reliable. There are studies that argue the effectiveness of antidepressants and others who say that psychotherapy is more effective than any antidepressant. What is clear is that psychotherapy is essential in any treatment of depression, but to know how effective antidepressants are, we need more long term serious scientific research.

The most serious problem is the irresponsibility of doctors about antidepressants prescription, because if we don't know the real effect of antidepressants in patients, so they should be more careful about it. Therefore, sometimes a healthy person just is having a bad time but use pills too. All of this don´t mean that antidepressants don't work, just we can´t know it yet.

What i did yesterday

Today i will write about what i did yesterday, obviously I´ll not write everything I did, just the fun part.
Yesterday I had a mission: finding a cheap big sweatshirt in Bandera Street. Of course this is not an easy work, because there are too many stores with too many things there. However, I like walking and my boyfriend came with me, so this mission became a nice date. I have to say I am so disappointed with Bandera, every day is more expensive buy something there! Finally, I found a cute sweatshirt but its price was $8.500… can you believe it! Mission not accomplished :(  but I found another thing too… An animal print maxi skirt for $2.500 *-* I buy it, obviously.
After that, we went to Plaza de Armas, just for keep walking. I love how painters showing their work for people, I love art and I think art open minds and make them beautiful, sensitive and bigger. If I had have extra money, I had buy one of that pictures, it still in my mind… painting is something pending in my life, I always have been interested in learn it, but is a little expensive and university keep me very busy.
I finished the day with a coffee and a sandwich in a mall, it was a great day.

Things to do when I’ll go out to university

I think i will be working on about three more years. When that happens I would like to live alone and save money for travel to Europe, this is the more important thing to do in my list of dreams. I like to be a student, I have been student most of my life, but now this is an impediment in my life, I just want have money  that let me go out  of my  routine. 

Sometimes I think my life is so boring, and maybe other people think this about me too because I usually don’t go partying, is just I am boring of that too, always the same things: drink alcohol, maybe dance, maybe meet someone…  Must be something more to do in this planet, in my case I prefer spend that money at the movie theater or drink alcohol but only with friends en my home, I don’t like dance.

Another thing I would like to do is eat better food because now, as a student, the healthy food is very expensive, besides I think when I get a job I’ll be a better me, healthy, slim, happy and independent.
