Things I would like to change about my degree program

Just yesterday, I was discussing this with some classmates. I study film at FCEI, and we share theoretical courses with journalism every semester. These courses are interesting and I think that they, in a way, contribute to understanding the world, but I think some of them have a lot more to do with journalism than with film, especially in an artistic way. I'd love to have more practical courses, more opportunities to specialize in our areas of interest, and participating more on film projects. We don't get to film much, only once per semester in the second year and just once in the rest of the years. 

I also believe the college should support us more with internships. It's not fair that when we do our mandatory internships, we can't use them to justify missing classes. I don't understand that, especially since internships are part of our curriculum. We should have more flexibility for internships and for participating in film projects in general. 

About infraestructure, I wish there were rest areas with comfortable sofas. There are very few indoor places, we need them especially when it's cold or raining. 

Lastly, but probably the most important thing to me, is that I think attendance should be eliminated. In many other programs and universities attendance is not required in every class. We're adults, and we should be able to manage our own time. Sometimes, we can't attend to class for reasons that are out of our control. These are some things I would like to change about the program of my beloved degree.

    I totally agree regarding the infrastructure. I like to read on campus, and often, to find a comfortable and quiet place, I have to go to other faculties because I haven't found a good spot for this in FCEI.

    Even considering that Film and Journalism had a lot of stuff in common, I totally agree on that many shared courses are more in the journalism side. It's quite confussing, specially starting the career!

    I think most of us feel the same way about both careers, I feel you!

Time travel to the past or future

 I've always been fascinated by the idea of time travel, and if I could choose, I'd love to go back to the exciting 1970s. This period of time has always intrigued me because it was very important for music, movies, politics, and culture. The '70s saw the rise of famous music styles like disco and punk, with bands like ABBA and artists like Patti Smith and Lou Reed. I'm particularly interested in the music of this time because many of my parents' favorite bands, like Fleetwood Mac, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Serú Girán, Sui Generis, and others, were from that era. It was really a golden age for rock music. In the world of movies, the '70s were when classic directors like Scorsese, Coppola, and Spielberg emerged, creating films like 'The Godfather'. Culturally, the 1970s were a time of experimenting and important social changes. In Chile, it was a period marked by politics, such as the Popular Unity and the subsequent coup.

Greece, a place I´d always wanted to visit

 A country that I would like to know: Greece When I was a child, my father used to tell me lots of stories and myths from Greece. He had never been there, but he really wanted to. So, I started to have the same interest in this country, planning that one day we would visit it together. I remember watching Hercules and being amazed by the mythology that was represented through funny cartoons and really good songs. Later, in my teenage years, I watched Mamma Mia and dreamed of visiting the islands of the country and all their beautiful beaches. I'd still really like to visit; it's not a country where I plan on living, studying, or working, but I'd really like to take a big vacation and see every part of the country, learning everything about its long history, seeing all its old architecture, and trying every typical food they have, even though I am very picky with food and I've seen pictures of it and they all seem a little bit weird to me.
