What's like to study Antropology

I study anthropology at the University of Chile in the Faculty of Social Sciences, before that I studied Psychology for a few years and I quit because I had a very deep vocational crisis some time ago. After a sabbatical year I decided to enter Anthropology because I have always been interested in how the human being develops in his context of life in society and in terms of culture.

Due to the pandemic, the classes during this time have been totally online, which although it has been able to supplement the learning process a bit for me, it has not been enough, since spending long hours in front of the computer every day has ended up exceed in some moments. My concentration tends to be lower and lower and I can't help but compare the processes with my old career, since I feel that presence is a very important factor that affects learning itself and other things such as relationships with my classmates.

I hope that the pandemic will end soon so that I can meet my classmates that I have only seen through the screen, as well as live the learning experience in its fullness.

The place I would like to visit One of the countries that I would like to visit the most is Japan. Japan is a country with a millenary culture and with ancient traditions, many of which date back more than 2000 years and are still very present today. It's interesting that all these traditions intersect with new technologies and more contemporary customs, which is why I consider that it's worth breathing all this tradition for oneself in its streets, cities, temples, gastronomy and people. One of the biggest things that interests me about this particular culture is everything that surrounds the manga and anime industry. Its cities are made up of giant metropolises, large buildings, people everywhere and hundreds of entertainment venues. And in turn, cities of a more traditional nature such as Osaka or Yokohama. I would like to visit all of them, as well as emblematic places such as Mount Fuji. The best thing seems to see it from afar and with perspective, for which it is

My best vacation ever

One of the best vacations I’ve ever had and that I remember mostly is a trip to Concón that we made with some friends from my previous career in summer 2019. A friend has an apartment there and it is a very special place since we generally go there every vacation since we met. That summer was particularly special because it was the first time that the whole group was together and no one was missing, so the experience itself was very nice. That time we stayed for 2 weeks and taking advantage of the proximity we also went to Viña del Mar and Valparaíso on some occasions. One of the activities that we did many times and for me is one of the most significant was to go to the Concón dunes and spend the whole afternoon talking, singing and drinking (with responsibility obviously) having a really good time together. We ended up full of sand on the way back and had to take a shower when we arrived, but seeing how the sun was hiding in the sea from the top of those dunes made everything tot

The pandemic situation

The covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a series of problems such as the loss of many jobs and adaptation to circumstances in order to survive. This situation is complex because the restriction of freedoms such as going outside is an important factor to prevent the spread of the virus, but there are people who have to be forced to go out to survive. Another problem that can be seen is the increase in the crisis in mental health, since if before there were figures that indicated that in our population there was a very high rate of depression, due to the pandemic these have increased, added to the fear generated towards the contagion. As I continue immersed in this situation, it’s difficult for me to think about what it will be like afterwards, since I see everything with a lot of uncertainty. However, I believe that some things that have been integrated into our daily lives will remain, such as the constant use of masks when we go out to the street and working by remote connection, si
