Postgraduates Studies

H ello everyone, In this blog we are going to talk about graduate studies. Have you ever wondered what to do after to finish your professional career? Is continuing studying an option? Personally, I believe that postgraduate degrees are an excellent option to grow as a professional, but before enrolling in one you must take many considerations. First of all, it’s important to decide when to take it. If you do it immediately after to finish your degree, you will be able to access a better career and earn a better salary when you graduate, but you could also be overqualified for the position you are applying for and not be chosen because instead of accumulating experience, you preferred to continue with your studies. For me it all depends on motivation and having clear goals. When it comes to study for a postgraduate degree, as when studying a normal career, there will always be economic or social obstacles and new academic challenges to face. The key is to know how to organize...

Academic challenges

H ello everyone, Today I am going to tell you about my academic challenges and my experience. The truth is that I have always considered myself a person who likes to study and learn new things. However, since I entered university, I have had difficult moments that have made me doubt my purposes. In the first year of my career, I had demotivated due to I had many breaks because of  strikes, then when the pandemic started, and I had to adapt to this remote education which was very difficult for me. It has never been so difficult for me to concentrate or study as it is now. The fact of learning everything through a screen makes me constantly think that I have not learned anything and that is very sad. I think that anyway there are things that I have reinforced thanks to this context, for example working in a group and being much more anticipated to do my homework. It seems to me that it is the only good thing about everything that is happening to us. I am sure that my greatest academi...

My dream job

W hen I was a little girl, I always dreamed of helping the sick people and the best way to do it was if I became a doctor. My family, especially my mom, always told me that doctors are very smart people, but they work a lot. I never thought about it, until I grew up and realized how difficult life as a doctor can be. So, I didn't want that job for myself anymore. For many years I never imagined what I wanted to do or what I wanted to work on until I had to decide what to study. I chose to study Journalism because my dream job is researching, writing news, and working on famous news or newspapers. I would like a job where I can have my own office, but which also allows me to travel the world as a reporter or correspondent. Also, I want to dress formally, wear blouses, skirts and blazers daily, ahah work clothes are very important to me. I think that if I work on what I like, I must look fabulous. The truth is, I have no idea what my salary could be, nor do I have exaggerated expecta...

The role of technology in my life

W hen I was 12 years old, my mother gave me my first cell phone. I was so happy because I always wanted to have mine, but she had told me that I was still too young to have it. Since that day it has become my favorite technological object and it is the one I use the most. Since I was a child I have always thought that technology is amazing and useful, but that you must handle it with care, because there are those who use it for evil. However, I must admit that lately I have become very dependent on technology. I think that's due to the pandemic and having to study and work online. This year I have spent a lot of money on technology, because it has been necessary for my education. I bought a new computer, a microphone, and a tablet, which I use every day to study. What I like most about technology is that it allows me to do thousands of things at the same time, from taking a photo to editing video clips. Without a doubt, it simplifies our lives, in addition to the fact that in situa...

Past memories / My best trip

L a st summer, I had the opportunity to visit Cartagena de Indias, a famous city in my native country, Colombia. This trip was improvised, because we did not know what to do to travel in the pandemic. Finally, on January 16th I boarded the air with my brother, Diego. It was our first travel alone, because we had always traveled as a family . However, when we arrived at Cartagena, our mother was in the hotel waiting for us. While we were there, we visited the Rosario Islands, the Naval Museum of the Caribbean, the castle of San Felipe de Barajas, also other beautiful places. On the islands we drank "Cocoloko", a typical Caribbean drink that has rum, tequila and vodka . Also, we ate typical Colombian food, which of course we like a lot. I already miss arepas , almojabanas , buñuelos , etc. and I also miss my “ tinto ” (coffee) in the morning. These vacations were very special for me because I had never visited other cities or places in my country, only Bogotá, the city ...

A country/place I would love visiting

  H ello everyone! Today I'm going to tell you about a place that I would love to visit, Paris, capital of France. The reason I would like to go to Paris is that I've always seen its landscapes and beautiful architecture. I know that every year almost 14 millions of tourist travel to Paris for the magnificents monuments, its olds hills, in addition to being one of the most renowned gastronomic capitals of the world. Since I was a child, I saw the Eiffel Tower in several romantic movies, series and documentaries and I wish that one day I could be there to live the experience that I've always dreamed. If one day I could be there, I would like to visit the Eiffel Tower and eat a croissant with a hot chocolate in a coffee shop seeing the art in the streets and take a picture to immortalize the moment. The rest of the days of my stay Paris I want to visit Louvre, the Triumphal Arch, the Pantheon and all the iconic places. I want to meet french people to understand their culture ...
