Half Time

It’s curious, but i don’t really know what i want to be yet. I mean I am studying psychology and I’m going to graduate of course, but I still have a long path to continue and I don’t know where I’m going to end.  The first 5 semesters of the career where kind of boring, there where subjects I didn’t really care about and it was kind of depressing, but in some way I still want to carry on because I had faith that it would get better, and it kind of happened.

Past the first half of the career, in this semester we had the opportunity of choosing between a various numbers of elective subjects, with the condition that in the three semesters that we have left, we have to take at least one of each labor field. This gave me more freedom to choose what things I could like more and it’s been more fun since then, and finally I can see a future ahead of this career. Especially in the psychoanalysis subjects I remembered why I choose this career above others when I was in school.

This has to do a lot of how boring is too think in the box of the academic field. It was almost ridiculous how the assignments had the same structure every single time, how we had to put the references in APA, how to put the French sangria, and how to always use quotes of somebody else instead of thinking for ourselves. It was a never ending circule, and always with this scientific way to reason.  Always in the box.


Somehow in these past months I learned a lot of interesting things that have to do more with art and philosophy than number and experiments. And I like that stuff, but the thing is that I always thought that the human mind is something that has to be understood from a mysterious place, not in the place of how we study insects or cook lasagna.  I don’t really know where I’m going to end when I get out of this department called FACSO, but now I’m starting to make a picture.

    I liked your post, maybe because I felt a little bit identify with it. But suddenly happens to me, that I realized that life is too mysterious, so maybe we're studding this today, but tomorrow, no one knows! I think that making the idea this is all what are we going to do in this life implicates to close many other opportunities, and we're so complex... Better let our mind flow. What has to come, will come. FACSO it's a little box inside a bigger box, there's much more outside. xoxo

    I think that you're just on the right path. There's some things we all have to learn just to have a sense of history in this career, but the motivation to create our own knowledge is fundamental. Hang in there, I hope you end up liking it even more :)

Jack of all trades, master of none

I really don’t know what I would do to change the study program of psychology, even doe I know that are some changes I could do. The thing with this career is that is very varied, because when you think about it, we are trying to study the human mind, or maybe the most apropiate term is that we are asking ourselves the question of subjectivity itself, and are the same numbers of interpretations that ways to see the human being, epistemologically, philosophically, and historically speaking. Having that said, it gets really complicated to show everybody all the choices but at the same time not overwhelming them with a lot of things they don’t really care. The classes that the career has in the first semester are really necessary in my opinion, because we need to know about the other study fields in near to us like Philosophy, History, Anthropology, Sociology and of course Psycology. But I think it’s a problem that people like me had to wait so long to discover what I get in in t...

Post Graduated Sudies

I think is weird to think that are more studies after we graduate, is almost a requirement if you want to get a good job, and I don’t understand why. I mean it’s ok to study more if you want to, but is almost like we are obligated to do it if you really want to work in something that you want and it’s also really expensive, and I heard that are not a lot scholarships to afford it so it’s a really good business for the university. But well, putting myself in that scene maybe I would like to do a doctorate in something that I’m interested, and considering all of the things I studied so far in the career it’s really probable that it would have to do with the psychoanalysis area. The only problem is that I would have to read a lot, and I’m not very good at it, but I guess that if the reading it’s interesting I would read it in order to investigate something I like. There are a lot of things to do in that area so I guess right now I have an open mind to decide what to do in that specific fi...
