Post 2: Why did I choose my major?

Imagen
When I was a child, I used to draw very often and the memory of myself drawing the layout of my dream house when I was about 8 years old is clear yet: a house with five rooms and a huge kitchen. So, I guess that want to be an architect was on me since then.  However, by my teen years I had been thinking that I had no talent for it so being a geologist turned into the only option until I was 16 years old. After that age, for some reason I convinced myself that studying civil engineering was the best for me because my math scores and I entered to study it (spoiler: it wasn't). Finally, I decided to choose my dream job overall and I left the career that I hated from the day one. Now I'm studying architecture and despite the tiredness and stress I love it, definitely was a good decision. I made incredible friends, I've learned a lot and I've been know many professionals that I admire now. What I miss the most of the face-to-face classes is being with my partners in the ...

Post 1: Who am I?

Hello everyone! My name is Arly and I'm a 22 years old girl from Santiago de Chile. I've born and lived most part of my life here but also I lived for 5 years in Spain in a small town called Ripollet (I'll leave you a photo). Living there, I learned to speak catalan but over the years I've been forgetting some words.  About my family, well... We are a big one. I'm the third of four siblings: my two older siblings are engineers and my younger sister is a talented manicurist. I have two nephews of 6 and 2 years old and I really love them both so so much. Otherwise, my parents got divorced so now I live with my mom and we're very close. And last but not least we adopted a dog two months ago that we named Floki.  I started studying Architecture in 2019 after spending a year studying civil engineering (worst experience ever 😫) and I really like what I'm doing now. Some of the things that I enjoy the most are cooking and listening to music, especially Bruno Mars ...

Personal information on social media: what's the limit?

 How safe is to give your personal information on websites such as Facebook, My Space and any others?     https://www.trecebits.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Influencer-rosa.jpg        I personally believe that social media is a double-edged sword. I've been on Facebook since I was 11 years old and I have Instagram since I was 14 and the experience in my teenage years was as good as bad. Many times I innocently exposed information that could put me in risk, like posting a photo with the location or even with de school uniform. However, now that I'm an adult and I've know terrible cases of kidnapping or murder I know that there's a limit. I try to keep my accounts private and have mostly acquaintances and friends. Of course I have to admit that -anyways- the information about me that's on social media is a lot.
