Why did I choose my major?

 I'm in my fourth year of journalism.  

 Studying journalism wasn't my first option. I did a complete year of literature at the University of Santiago de Chile in 2018. In 2019, I changed my mind and got into journalism at this university. Was life changing; until now, I’ve been having an amazingly fruitful experience, with a lot of ups and downs. 



When I was a little kid, I wanted to be a writer, also a pop star (I was such a Disney girl…), a teacher, a tarotist, and a lot of other things I thought I was good at.
And to go on with my dream-job, I decided journalism could be such a rich experience to develop the greatest skills. My boyfriend's dad said once: “Studying a career should give you the skills to become whatever you want to become”.

    Hi Fran. In my opinion, it is very difficult to choose who you want to be...only the life can say, with the as time goes by, if you choose the best way...or, maybe, whichever way you choose, it will be the way you were destined to follow, for some special reason of destiny.

    Your boyfriend's dad is very right, but knowing what to study is very complicated :(

    It is very brave to dare to change careers, it is very difficult to decide what you want to do for the rest of your life.

Cheese, cheese and cheese

  I’m extremely sorry for those who are lactose intolerant because in my opinion cheese must be the most wonderful food. Cheese is essential in every Chilean house, including mine. I use it for making tomato sauce, cheese olive bread, homemade pizza, empanadas and other delicious dishes.    Making cheese is a difficult task. To make cheese you need to warm up the milk. The fresher the milk, the more delicious your cheese will be! After warming the milk, you need to acidify it by adding vinegar or some citric. The third step is to put coagulant on the milk, and wait until gel forms. Lastly, you have to cook it and stir it for hours. Your cheese will be ready to be salt and age.                                                      The reason I love cheese is because it makes everything so creamy and extra delicious....

Who am I?

I was born in the last century, the last trimester of 1999. I was the third of five children and we used to live in Antofagasta.  I ended up high school in a semi-private institution because my mom invested in my education even tho she can barely pay for it, so when I chose journalism as my major, it could have cause some disappointment.  I have been living in Santiago for the last six years and I can define myself as an independent person. I’m constantly chatting with my little sister (she's 21 and the funniest person I know) and my mom, who just lost her job 😿.  I’m currently invested in investigating music industry and other social issues of nowadays, like migration and political crisis.

My favorite piece of technology!

  I love my cellphone. I know it sounds very basic, but I truly cannot live without it… I could live without social media, without a computer, but I cannot live without my mobile. It’s my favorite piece of technology because I have all my favorite applications on it: Pinterest to keep me vibing calm and update of fashion and aesthetics, Kindle so I can read PDFs, Twitter, Stardust, Letterbox and others. Furthermore, I can be updated on the news, which is one of my useful tools as a journalist. It keeps me organized too, which is very valuable because I have tons of different things to do everyday! Ironically, I don’t use my cellphone to make phone calls, lol. Principally because the microphone it’s in a bad state, so nobody can hear me talk. However, long before this, I didn’t like to take or make calls. Despite this, I will always recomend to have one for yourselves.
