Online classes were something we had to adapt to overnight, and the perception of the efficacy of them depends entirely on the person, after all, we all have different experiences, opportunities, and resources. Based on that, I think that online classes have lots of pros and not much cons. Fortunately, I haven’t faced too many difficulties when it comes to remote classes, that’s why I have a pretty good perception of them. Since I started with online classes, it’s been easier for me to organize my time  eff ect ivel y , considering the fact that I don’t need to contemplate the time it takes me to travel from the university to my house, which is about two hours. I also love that you can wake up a couple of minutes before the start of the class and even have breakfast while it’s ongoing! This is the best combination possible for someone that values their hours of sleep like I do.  The one thing I would say I dislike a lot about online classes, is that I find it way more difficult t

Like many kids, my dream job was to be a veterinarian, since I love animals and it would’ve made me happy to help them. This only lasted a couple of years, as I began to realize that in order to help them, you would have to deal with very sensitive situations, and I was not sure if I would be able to bear them. As I grew older and having no Idea of what I wanted to do with my life later, I came across the career called Public Administration, and soon I felt it suited my skills and preferences, so I decided to study it . Going with the idea that it was my dream job, I studied this career for a year, but then I realized that contrary to making me happy, it made me extremely anxious, so I abandoned the career.  At that time, I became aware of how much I overlooked my other abilities, which were my facility to learn languages and my artistic side. So, I thought, what’s stopping me from making a living off this? Thanks to that, I decided to take a leap of faith to start studying design.

  In today’s world, technology has been applied in people’s lives either as socialization alternative or as a working tool , and f or as long as I can remember, I’ve been surrounded by it, the most common examples being TVs, videogames consoles and telephones, or even complex computer programs (thanks to my big brother), so I could say I’m very familiarized with it. My favorite piece of technology is probably my laptop! It’s portable, comfortable and it can be used to watch movies, design graphics, or even draw a piece of art. It can even be used as a tablet if you bend the screen backwards! It’s my all-time favorite, but I’m always open and excited to learn new forms of technology!   As designers we use printers, the internet, scanners, and different design programs to produce our final products. Technology has positively affected the design industry by helping designers improve on their skills and work, and with this making their jobs much faster and certain things way easier. 

Without a doubt, my most memorable holidays were that time I had my study trip in Brazil. I went with my classmates by the end of 2018. We stayed 7 days and 6 nights at a hotel located in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. When we first arrived, we realized that the heat of Brazil and Chile were nothing alike. In Brazil, the heat was humid, and it felt like your lungs were filled by it, making it hard to breathe sometimes. Also, it didn’t matter we were in the middle of the summer, some days it rained with 34° Celsius! Each day we went to different places and did very fun activities, but by far my favorite one was when we visited the Cascaneia Water Park. There was tons of pools and water slides to play. Me and my friends had so much fun at that park. We also visited the Cristo Luz, were we had a fancy dinner, Blumenau, the German city of Brazil, and the cable cars of Balneario Camboriu. It was genuinely such a fun trip! I would love to go there again if I have the opportunity, hopeful

Since a very young age I was really in touch with Japan's pop culture, such as anime, manga, and music thanks to my older brother interests, so it was no surprise that the homeplace of all of this ended up grabbing my attention. Back then it was simple as that, but now there’s a lot of other reasons why I would like to go there at least once in a lifetime. The culture of this country is, in my opinion, a perfect blend of Eastern traditions and Western modernity that can be seen everywhere. Japan’s art , architecture, design, cinematography, dance, and like I mentioned before, pop culture, are reason enough to visit Japan. Japan's temples and castles are a must! There are an estimated 80,000 temples and shrines in Japan of all sizes and some of them are over 1,000 years old . In Osaka, Tokyo, Mount Fuji and almost every Japanese city you can find temples and shrines that are worth a visit. I would love to visit the Kinkakuji temple someday, just look at how magnificent it
