Post 3 - My favourite piece of technology

 It is super practical, I bought it about two years ago because I had to update the one I had because it was very old. I use it a lot, every day. I can capture moments and sometimes I do my homework on it. It's very useful when I go running because it measures my times and distances so I can beat myself.  It is cordless and I have to charge it once a day, although sometimes twice, depending on how much I need it in the day. Thanks to it I arrive on time everywhere I go. I can also locate myself in areas where I am not used to be. It goes everywhere with me and I take good care of it. Thanks to him I have discovered a lot of music. I also use it to read and watch my favorite series.

Post 5 - How can your studies make the world a better place

 My career can contribute in a very positive way to the world if one contributes to making it a better place. Journalism has in its hands the task of informing, of communicating, of giving people the things they need to know. Everything that happens in the world is sometimes ignored and people do not discover such injustices and irregularities if it is not by journalists who are in charge of uncovering these things that the powerful do not want people to know. From my part, I want to travel around the country showing people how beautiful it is and how important it is to take care of it, guiding us together to take responsibility for our surroundings, for our people and for our environment. To go to places that people don't even know exist, that I don't even know exist. I would like to be the eyes of the people and lead them to the reflection that the world is not only work and that this has led humanity to deterioration.

Post 4 - food or a photo you like

 I like too much what you can do with the noodles. My favorites are whole wheat noodles with a meat and vegetable sauce. I could eat a big pot of these and still be hungry! My mom taught me how to cook them when I was 10 years old and I have been making them ever since. I cook them with my friends or when I'm alone. This dish is very healthy, because the noodles are whole grain, they are rich in dietary fiber, so they deliver more energy and are very good for the body. The sauce contains meat and vegetables and is rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals, so it is a food that nourishes completely. It is delicious! Lately they have been my faithful companion in my university life, because they are quick to make and as I said before, nutritious. You can make them with different sauces and creams, so there are hundreds of varieties you can cook.
