What's like to study Anthropology?

I study anthropology at Universidad de Chile in the Social Science Faculty. I chose this career because I always found the study of human beings and cultures fascinating and necessary. I also envisioned myself in a social career with human contact rather than one surrounded by machines. In addition, my desire to contribute to a change for a better world influenced me as well.   

I am currently in my second year and have not been able to have face-to-face classes since I was accepted into college due to the covid-19 pandemic. For these reasons, I have only had online classes, which is visually exhausting, hard to concentrate, lonely due to not having direct contact with my classmates, and stressful. However, it also has advantages such as being able to watch recorded classes, getting up later and not having to leave the house (at least for me).

I hope the pandemic is over soon so I can see my loved ones and attend college. I would really hate to be forced to study my entire career with an online mode and not be able to know my faculty, my professors, classmates and all the members that are part of the faculty.  Also, I would not like to miss more classes with practical activities and anthropological field trips, nor the regular classes. I want to have the full university experience.

  The best holidays ever The best vacation I ever had, at least the one I remember best, was in 2008 when I was only 8 years old. My family and I went camping in Puyehue, Osorno, we stayed there for a week and a half.  A curious fact about that vacation is that the original plan was to go to Argentina, but we couldn't cross the border because only my mom, dad and older sister had identity documents, while my brother, sister and I didn't (we are 4 siblings), so they wouldn't let us cross the border. Because of that situation we decided to go to Osorno instead.  Personally, I feel it was the best vacation because it was the first time I traveled so far south in Chile and saw such a beautiful place with so much vegetation, I had previously traveled to natural places as well, but when we went to Osorno we stayed in a camping site that had access to the Puyehue lake, so we could go into the lake whenever we wanted, besides, you could see the mountain range in the background and

Let's talk about the pandemic   The covid-19 pandemic   has brought many problems to the people, among them are: Increase in unemployment  and impoverishment of the Chilean  population. Increase in cases of gender violence, domestic violence demands and femicides. Closure of educational and care centers such as universities, schools, kindergartens, nursery centers, among others.  Increase in the price of food, basic necessities products and services.  High human infection and high number of fatalities. On the other hand, another consequence of the pandemic is the changes that people were forced to go through. Some of these changes are:  Change from presential modality to online modality for the classes. Closure of stores and restaurants. People should preferably shop online.  Prohibition of social gatherings of any kind. Finally, if we visualize a future after the pandemic, hopefully a near future, I personally believe that social gatherings will return, stores and restaurants will
