When I was a child, I used to have a lot of favorite series, for example, I loved Barney, Sesame Street, Charlie and Lola, Teletubbies, Martha Speaks, Clifford, Phineas and Ferb, The Backyardigans and Lazytown, but I remember that the one I liked the most was The Fairy Oddparents; I liked that TV show because it was really funny and every episode was very creative and cool, I loved the characters too, they were so unique and special. Nowadays, I really enjoy science fiction series and psychological thrillers, those stories catch my attention a lot and keeps me focused on the whole series. Having a TV in my room isn’t important for me, I don’t care if I have one or if I don’t, but I guess having one would not be good for me because I have a lot of visual issues. When I was 11, I used to have a TV on my old room, I watched TV shows everyday and all day, but when I was watching TV at night, I fell asleep while the TV was on, and it was not good for the final electricity bill, so my

I think I’d include a lot of things on my bucket list because I’ve always wanted to do so many things. For example, some months ago I bought a set of acrylic paints, canvas and brushes to start painting, so I would love to finally do it, because I’d like to have something to dis-stress myself when I feel overwhelmed, or I feel inspired. I’d add a trip to somewhere to get to know snow, I’ve always wanted to do it because I’ve never seen snow in my entire life. This last one’s way more difficult to achieve, but I still got hope. I used to paint when I was younger, but I left it because I felt I wasn’t good enough and I stopped doing it. That’s why I want to restart, just to improve my skills. I want to know snow with my family, because I love family trips and I want to feel good with them. And I think I’d love to share my improvement in painting with my friends or post it on the internet if I feel like to. I guess that I’ll start a bucket list in my journal, it makes me feel organi

My experience learning English at university has been very good and entertaining because of the blogs. Before I started this class, I didn’t think that it was going to be this cool. Now I feel very comfortable with the classes and the activities. This class is one of my favorites. I love blogs, I really enjoy writing because I can express freely in every post, freedom in academic activities makes me so happy. Also, I love that we can comment on classmate’s blogs because it increases the communication and interaction between us, it helps to share our ideas and thoughts with respect and an open mind. I like a lot that we’re always giving a hand to us when we comment the posts. I think that an aspect that must improve on my English is the pronunciation and speaking. I guess that the best way to achieve that improvement is practicing and hearing how other natives talk. Since some years, I always watch series and movies in English with subtitles and I can say that it has helped me a lot

If I think about the possible changes that could be made in my study programme, I realize that that I would love to have a sociology class in any year of the career, because I think sociology is crucial in our knowledge as psychologists, it can help us to understand so much better some social phenomes that needs more interaction between these two areas. I would like to add that psychology needs sociology to be well understood because psychology is social. I guess that somethings about the infrastructure of our faculty can change too, sometimes when I walk outside the buildings I trip and almost fall a lot of times, and I wonder if it is even more complicated for a person with low vision to walk through those places. Also, I think that the cement roads could be plainer for wheelchairs. I do not really know if something else could change in my career, but I would love that our university to be more inclusive with our disabled peers, sometimes little changes make a lot of difference,

If I could go to somewhere in time, I’d like to go to the roaring twenties, in the interwar period. I don’t really know why, but when I see movies from that period, I wonder how life was and what was it like to live in a highly developed country like the United States of América. In the roaring twenties there were a lot of new things, but one of my favorite ones is the jazz blossom. I’d like to know how it feels to walk through the streets and hear the jazz filling the whole space from a bar at the next square. Also, there was a change in the way that women used to dress, the stopped wearing the classical corset and started using shorter skirts and dresses. Women who dressed were called “flappers”, but it wasn’t only for the way they dressed, but also for what they did, flappers smoked in public, drank, danced music like jazz. I would love to wear those sparkling dresses and put feathers in my hair. Everything was so different from now. Maybe I’m romanticizing a little bit the roar

  I know that I am studying to be a psychologist, because this is the career I chose, but sometimes I imagine myself working as a full time makeup artist who works with lots of famous people. I’d love to express anything in makeup, I’ve always thought it would make me so happy. I dream about myself traveling around the world just doing what I love, exploring the world and meeting many people. I guess that my skills should get better if I would work as a makeup artist, but I’d do it with so much effort, I’d really like to learn new techniques not just because I would have to work with what I learn, but also because I love makeup and everything you can do with it. I don’t know how much a makeup artist salary’s is, sincerely I don’t think is that much, but I guess it’s not that bad so it’s not important. Currently, I’m studying psychology, it’s an amazing career, I know I couldn’t have chosen better, because I know it’s something that I’m so enthusiastic to learn and it has a lot of
