Post 2: Why did I choose my major?

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a lot of things, I remember wanting to be an actress, an astronaut, but my dream was to be a professional dancer. However, when I grew up I was very interested in studying geology, but I wasn’t sure if I was really capable. So, when I left school, I entered the Academic Baccalaureate Program of the University of Chile, to know what university life was like and see if I could go into studying geology through that medium, but I discovered that it wasn’t what I really liked, so I left the Program and went into studying architecture at the University of Chile.

 

I love studying architecture, but I really don’t know why I chose to study it. I’ve always liked a lot of things, looking to learn about a variety of topics. I was never 100% artist or 100% scientist, so I guess in this search to strike a balance between the two, it seemed to me that studying architecture could work. And so far, I’m happy and satisfied with my decision.

 

Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, I haven’t been able to know the faculty of architecture or my classmates, so I don’t have much to say about it. On the other hand, my experience in Baccalaureate was hard academically, but I wouldn’t change it for anything, because I met such beautiful and varied people, I really enjoyed those two years.
