What is my opinion about... ?

The Chilean tradition called ‘mechoneo’.-
I endorse to the idea of have a tradition at the begining of a university cycle, but not the way they do that. I think that a better way to do that it's not should be focus on the humiliation of the new students but rather on them enjoyment. When I was in my second year in the university, there was a "color run" in a mechoneo, see? that's what I'm talking about, we've to do fun activities of that kind, because is like a last activity of the scholar cycle.

Legalizing abortion in some cases.-
I don't know why this still being a theme, I think it's just a matter of logic. Because a human being have to be able to decide on his own body, not matter about the "type" of human. And also some people shouldn't be able to be parents, in addition to the demographic growth. There are a lot of problematics that aiming to "stop make babies".

Recycling.-
I think, the way that is the world now, recycling is not more a decision, is an obligation nowadays. We, as a soceity, have to admit the enviromental problem and solve it, of course. There is a lot of studies and test that aiming to "dude, the world is about to end", and out there are still people who don't believe that. That's why I think the peolple who know the truth (or just know what the studies means) have the obligation of save the planet, and not just recycling (I'm talking about global warming).

And last but not least, Legalizing marijuana and other drugs.-
Ok, first of all, I admit that I consume marijuana recreationally, so I think you already know my position about this, I disagree. I'm joking, I'm totally agree about legalizing marijuana. And that's because I have read from various sources about the marijuana and his prohibition, and the reason of many of his "myths". As "the marijuana kill your neurons", fake, because the study where that theory came out was with monkeys testing, and the procedure was, in a nutshell, suffocating the monkeys with marijuana smoke, so them neurons died because lack of oxygen. And a lot of stuff like that, like the prohibition was for keep someone job, etc. Well that's my opinion about marijuana, but for the other drugs, I think it could be more efficient teach about drugs to people, so they know more about them and their harm, than banning them.

What would I have studied?

Well, actually my second option of major was Chemistry, my first option was Biochemistry and I could only choose two options of majors because some bureaucratic problem, but if I could have been choose a third one it maybe have been Physics or something related to. So I would have studied Biochemistry if I weren't studying my major.

The reason that I wanted to study Biochemistry is kind of dumb and childish, is basically because I was good at chemistry and biology at school and I was like: "Yeah, one plus one is equal to two, why not?". And the same reason for the third option, I was following my instinct and the logic of " if I'm good at that, probably I should keep doing that".

I don't regret my fate, because I realized that in the biology subjects it is normal to memorize the subject matter. And I always was terrible at memorizing things, since the multiplication tables to the philosophical quotes of Platón and Aristóteles. But I'm really good inventing things like rhymes or phrases to remember things.

It's kind of funny the opinion that I have nowadays, because looking in hindsight I really had a change of mind. Lately I have been very interested in the major of Food Engineering, because all the diverse applications they have. And always (or mostly) they have expositions where there's free food for tasting.
