Let's talk about studies, I am a design student and I am finishing my second year. Although we have a curriculum that has been partially adapted to the current pandemic situation, it has not been entirely beneficial for students, there has been a lot of academic load. Currently we have divided semesters, where we separate theoretical subjects from practical ones, which has caused a huge academic load on us as design students, so it would be the main thing that I would change, a more elaborate curriculum and thought about mental health and beneficial load for students. Although my career lasts 5 years, two have already been completely online, which makes us have a learning and experience different from the ideal one. Despite this, they have already confirmed to us that next year we will finally return to face-to-face classes at the faculty, something that is totally necessary to exercise and learn much more about the practical side of design.  This in turn would facilitate all the

Let's talk about the future, I think that leads to imagining many things, but if we could travel to the future itself, where would we go? In my opinion, I would like to travel maybe 50 years in the future and see how much the planet changes within those years and how it was affecting climate change  for compare these two worlds, also to see if we can continue living on this planet so mistreated by human beings, I feel that it would be something very interesting to admire if I traveled to the future, although I would not like to stay in that time, i have a feeling that it will not be a good world in which to live.  Another option would be to be able to perhaps travel a few years to the future, to admire how much my family and friends have grown, to see my achievements and goals and if I could achieve them, it would be something that would cause me an immense euphoria, although I have not always been someone who think much about the future, you have to accept that a little trip to kn

I must say that despite having some idea of ​​what I want to work on in the future, I am not 100% sure and determined. I have practically always liked working in the graphic part of design, I love designing different things, which is a process that starts with a paper and a pencil, and then is broadly reflected through certain graphic platforms. I love this, and I would also love to design my own illustrations in the future, maybe work in a major agency I don't know. It does not complicate me if it is outdoors or indoors, I feel that my performance would be the same in both ways. In turn, if I am given the opportunity to work in important places, I would love to be allowed to travel and get to know different points of view in the world of design, so I would love to travel. As for the salary, as long as it allows me to live in a stable way, without missing anything, for me it is fine, since I do not like luxuries very much and I consider myself a simple person.  And well as I said,

I must admit that for me it is very difficult to try to make a bucket list or to generate goals in life, this because I feel that I am a person who is living day to day, like Memento Mori. But if I had to make my bucket list and think about things for the future, I feel that it would be something like finishing my studies, which I am achieving step by step with a bit of difficulty but it is possible, another goal would be to have my apartment to live in peace, I also want to travel and see different countries, maybe with some friends or family to share that experience, they are things that I would like to fulfill maybe at some point in my life if destiny allows it. Creating a bucket list is like setting limits and practically planning parts of your life that nobody knows if they will come true, it is something difficult but if you stay positive, if you really believe in achieving those goals, you can do it, believe in yourself, surround yourself of people who fill you with good vibes a

Let's talk about movies, I must say that I am a total fan of watching movies or series, I see them as art. It is very difficult for me to choose a favorite movie but if I had to talk about one in particular it would be shutter island, I feel that it is a very deep movie and worth watching from beginning to end. I like it both for the story they tell and for the performances, DiCaprio does a spectacular job as the lead and makes you admire every detail of it. I feel that the movie genres that attract me the most are thriller, horror and drama, since they make you think a lot, connect with the story and watch them to know what will happen in the end.     The most recent movie I saw was The Butterfly Effect, from 2004, I have seen it many times and I feel that I would never get bored of seeing it, for those who have not seen it, all its aesthetics, its history and performances make it a totally unique film and marvelous. Without a doubt it will make you think a lot about what will hap

It is difficult for me to decide what my best holidays will have been, but after thinking about it I feel that I had a specific one where I fell in love with the place and felt completely at peace. This was for the summer of 2020, with my family we went for 3 days to camp at Las Turbinas Waterfall, in Los Lleuques. I remember we went late at night that day with my dad to the waterfall because we waited for my mother to leave her work, it was a long trip, about 1 hour but that night we were clear so we got there faster. In that place there were many people camping, with their tents and many families, enjoying the summer. Essentially we went to enjoy the river and the waterfall to cool off from the immense heat that it was doing at that time.  Camping was a wonderful experience with my family, we could share a lot, we told stories, we sang, we danced, it was something incredible that is why I chose it as my best holidays so far. Definitely a place I want to return to soon with friends an
