In order not to be so negative, I will start with the good: I love that there is the possibility of being able to specialize in all kinds of fields and expertise, in addition to the fact that it brings together people who come from all over Chile, although everyone tends to think more or less the same.  In the negative area, what bothers me the most is the lack of true plurality, which is supposedly one of the great and prestigious values ​​that the University of Chile has. I suppose it is a general problem throughout different universities, but I feel that the University of Chile is the emblem when it comes to creating professionals who think the same and have more political and activist aspirations than their professional curiosity. The problem is also the image of the nasty "ñuñoino" that the students themselves seek to replicate, with zero self awareness, but I suppose they are problems too complex even for Cosmo and Wanda to solve with a simple wish of a magic wand.

 Hi homies, I tell you about the wonderful experience of how I am preparing to go to the USA at the end of the year.

I had been waiting for many years to see the Arctic Monhkeys live, my favorite band of all time, and when I finally found out that they would come to Chile to present their album Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino, I knew that this was the moment. I searched all over the internet until I found some tickets for 40,000 pesos for the day I wanted to go. I organized online with many unknown fans who were also going to see the monkeys, and we agreed to be the first to arrive, as soon as the doors opened, to take place on the railing, inches from the stage. All day I waited while the artists passed through the stage, until finally, at 10 pm, Alex Turner and company made their appearance, and the public went wild. 5 minutes of presentation and there were many women who fainted from lack of oxygen. We couldn't be more pressed against the bars. Between shoves and elbows I managed to get room to breathe and sang at the t
