Hi everyone! The career of Public Administration at the University of Chile is an almost unknown career for the other students of the university. They do not even know where the School of Government is, and it is so small that it goes unnoticed. That is why I would like to change, first, the infrastructure. Maybe not having a modern building like Beauchef, but having something with more space, more comfortable rooms (with more plugs please haha), green areas with benches, a dining room with daily menu where we can all go to sit comfortably for lunch and a large audience. With regard to the latest in terms of the creation of specific rooms such as the auditorium, I would add the expansion of the computer lab. Computers are not that bad really, the problem is quantity, they are very few. This also includes the library, which, like the computer lab, is very small, so it could be extended, enable the second floor and increase the number of computers and thus improve and facilitate the u...

When I think about summer and vacations, I see it from almost the middle of January. Maybe it's a short vacation time, but I have to take advantage of it. This is why I would like to go first to my home in Coquimbo, and from there go to the Elqui Valley with my family. It is almost a tradition to go every summer and it is one of the things I most desire now.  There is very relaxing, you can see rivers, hills, trees, do horseback riding, swimming, among many other activities, and in general get relaxed and get tranquility. I also have in mind with my family to go to the South of Chile, to places like Frutillar, the Petrohué Waterfalls, among others. In fact, we have saved throughout the year to be able to go to some of these places and have a good and comfortable vacation. I spend so much time without my family during the study period so I would like to spend the whole summer and my holidays with them! I think it's good to have these instances to share and get to know new p...

Hey! I have not read for a long time (in fact, since I left school I have not read for fun, I only read things from the university) but I have not forgotten the books that I liked the most in their time. One of them was the Steppenwolf of Hermann Hesse. This was a book with a different theme from what I usually read, and it had a great impact on me. Although it was a book assigned for a school test, it became one of my favorites, reading it out in one day. Another of the books I liked the most was Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell, who is my favorite author. I found his narrative very interesting with a strong social criticism and historical review. However, my favorite books are not limited to those two. I loved the saga of The Hunger Games, Wonder and a Monster calls, these last was two of my favorite book themes, a mixture of stories of self-improvement and unconditional not romantic love (I admit that I cried when reading them hahah). As I said at the beginning...

Hi everyone!  It is very likely that the elections I make today , maybe I will change in the future, but for what I am interested today is for the environment, because it is one of the most urgent issues at a global level. I know that with the degree of public administrator I will not achieve to perform in those areas one hundred percent, nor give the best of me, because my knowledge is almost null in things like ecology, botany, environmental systems and sciences in general. For that reason, I would like to do a Master degree to develop this environmental area that can be complemented with the knowledge of the career I am currently studying, and thus manage or plan environmental policies at the state level. If I had the opportunity to take this type of postgraduate course in another country, it would be incredible, like Australia or Germany, because in addition to learning about that area, I could acquire knowledge of other cultures and know new places, although of course...

I am currently studying public administration, upon finishing my studies at the University, I would first like to do a master's degree or a postgraduate degree in management, something like the Master's Degree in Environmental Management. I would like to learn to have more skills and more opportunities to find a job that I like. Regarding my future job, in the near future I would like to do pre-practice, and when I graduate in the future I would like job in a place where I can feel stable and calm. I imagine working in some environmental service, planning, managing. I don’t know why but I have preferences for wanting to be in an office with my stuff, but I do not deny that I would like the opportunity to go out on the ground with my work (like an outdoor job). I know that with the Comptroller General of the Republic it could be like a supervisory and travel to different parts of the country, sounds interesting too. But in any type of job I would like to have a stable salar...

Hey! Honestly for me is hard chose one food, but the one that I like the most is porotos granados, but the porotos granados that my mom prepares haha. The truth is that I have not eaten them for a long time, mainly like when I go to my house in Coquimbo in summer since it is in that season when there are more fresh beans as opposed to winter where they usually resort to buying them frozen. It is very delicious. I do not have much time to cook but I like it a lot. I'm always looking at recipes to innovate and learn. Lately I see several "meal preps" that are recipes where you cook one day and you can freeze for the whole week, it is very useful. I have neglected my diet a lot, it has become frequent for me not to have lunch, but when I do I usually eat junaeb salad menus, I try not to eat fast food and opt for healthy menus, or when I have time I cook something in my apartment. On the other hand, my favorite restaurant is currently Mama Rockers. This is a ...
