One of the websites that I like the most for its content regarding the field of psychology is "MundoPsicólogos".  A Spanish website on the Instagram platform that, as its biography says, uploads content about psychology to help those seeking emotional balance and well-being.  https://www.instagram.com/mundopsicologos/?hl=es This website publishes informative posts with eye-catching images and pastel colors to support people in their daily lives, for example "How to combat mental fatigue?", "What is emotional exhaustion?".  These are also accompanied by articles that explain in depth the topics addressed in the posts.  Short videos or "reels" that specifically address mental health are also uploaded, and live videos on contingent topics such as "toxic friendships" and "jealousy in couples" are regularly made.  It also has a section of featured stories on different topics among which are: anxiety, couple, personality, family, fo...

During this first year in Psychology I have had several interesting subjects, but my favorite one above all has been  Basic Psychological Processes . The reason why I like it is simple, it is a subject in which knowledge is acquired through the reading of several chapters of texts and books; for later in class we ask questions about the possible doubts that remained in the reading and make comments on the aspects that most interested us. Personally, I am not one to talk in class, but I did listen attentively to everything my classmates said. Among the contents covered by the course we find: classical and operant conditioning, intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, psychological needs and social needs, the process of goal setting (both short term and long term), beliefs about personal control, the nature of emotions, aspects of emotion and attachment bonds in humans. In addition, throughout the semester, we had to carry out reflective assignments that consisted of choosing a topic fro...

I love to take pictures of my friends, my family, landscapes and my cats above all. I also like to look at photographs on the internet about landscapes, cities, animals and natural phenomena, but I don't have much knowledge about professional photographers, especially those who have won awards worldwide.  So when I came across the work of Italian photographer Roksolyana Hilevych, I must admit that I fell in love with her photograph called "Dragon Eggs". A beautiful image composed of 3 photographs that were taken on March 9, 2019, in the Lofoten Islands in Norway. This photograph shows in all its splendor a starry sky along with one of the most desired spectacles of nature to observe by photography lovers, the northern lights. They are accompanied by a huge snow-capped mountain on the shores of an icy and brittle sea. What I like about Roksolyana's work is that a single image manages to show in a magical way a cold night illuminated by blue and green lights, as if they...

In general, I am a person who has no preferences when it comes to eating, so I've never really thought about what my favorite food is. But if I have to choose, definitely the food I like the most is pasta, especially fettuccine with Alfredo sauce, a simple but very tasty meal. Alfredo sauce it's a sauce for season pasta that it is made by combining cream, seasonings, and Parmesan cheese in a frying-pan. Also, you can add different ingredients like ham, shrimp, chicken or vegetables, to make it tastier. Fettuccine is a type of Italian pasta made from flour and eggs that is stretched and cut into long, flat ribbons. This pasta should be left to dry for a few minutes and then cooked in a pot with boiling water and salt. When the pasta is cooked, just combine it with the sauce to have the meal ready. The reason I like pasta is simple, it is a delicious and quick to prepare meal that became one of the meals that is used to cook in my house (at least once a week) especially when the...
