Post 9 - Your Favorite Book

Hi everyone!

The truth is that I like different types of book. Since I was a little boy, I liked reading too much, it was one of my favorite hobbies. At school I tried to read compulsory reading and a personal book. I clearly preferred my readings as they were totally exciting and fun. Instead, schoolbooks seemed boring and normal to me.

In general, I like politics, countries, systems and current affairs books because they give me great knowledge for my university career. Also, I like to read about world history, it's great topic. And drama books for long trips and about love when I'm sad for some reason.


My favorite book is "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" because it is a very particular and different story. This book helped me understand life in the simplest way and to value the people next to me. It is a great story. I would like to tell you more, but I do not tell spoilers!
On the other hand, I don't have a favorite author, because there is nobody that I liked enough.

And the last book I read is "How Democracies Die", it is a great book to understand the current situation in the world and to have a more critical view of political leaders.
I highly recommend it for quarantine times.

See you guys!

    When I was in school, I did the same thing as you... so I understand you perfectly, there's nothing like reading a book that interests us. Besides, I think it's incredible that you like these themes in books, the story is very interesting

    Last week Luis interviewed Levitsky for the Comparative Politics Seminar. And it was a very nice conversation!

Post 5 - My future job

¡Hi everyone! Political Science is a career that studies government and power relations in a society. The career forms professionals who will stand out for their public vocation, their competence and their responsibility in the political and strategic decision-making process. In my career, my university degree gives me many tools and knowledge to do some work. The labor field is very broad. But, if I had to choose the most ideal, it would be a political advise. I imagine it very interesting because in my daily life I am an active person in direct communication between people. And political advice would help me to work all my academic capacities to advise, in the best way, a person or political institution. Most likely, it will be an indoor and outdoor job since you should carry out research and analyze social situations that contribute to the political and social advance of the consultancy. In this case, I hope to be able to travel enough in Chile to gather information from all the peo...

Post 3 - My life with my pets

¡Hi everyone!  Today, I want to talk about my life with my pets. Since I was a child I lived at home and in order not to feel alone my parents gave me a very big dog. His name was Beethovent as the German composer. I remember my mother got pregnant with my little sister, so we had to move to a smaller apartment. Also, for reasons of space and care of Beethovent we had to give him up for adoption. I was very sad for several weeks. After four years, I wanted to have a hamster with my sister. We named him Mufi and unfortunately, he died at seven months, he got sick from the winter cold in the city. Today 2020, after 10 years with my sister, we decided to adopt a beautiful puppy to accompany us in our lives. His name is Baltazar. It has one year to live! Last week he had his birthday and we prepared him a delicious cake for dogs.  It is a very playful dog. He loves to run and play with the dogs in my building. He has several canine friends. In addition, he has more than 10 toys so...

Post 2 - The Best Concert I Have Had

 Hi everyone! The best concert of my life was on April 3, 2016 at the Estadio Nacional of Chile. It was the Coldplay concert. That day I invited my father to go to the concert, it was a unique and unforgettable experience for us. It was the first concert we had together. I still remember when they said they were coming on a Latin American tour. I didn't think about it and immediately bought two tickets. The decision why I wanted to go see Coldplay was because of their music. I like it and they represent me too much their lyrics of each song. And it is a pleasure that I have shared since I was little with my father. Likewise, Coldplay is a British pop rock and alternative rock music band formed in London in 1996. They have eight music albums. And they have had nine tours around the world. They are very incredible! I really recommend listening to all his music. I remember that on the day of the concert we arrived at the Estadio Nacional very early because we had no tickets listed. It...
