Ritual! The welcome to "los mechones"

This Wednesday, the students of anthropology, the give the welcome to “los mechones”, students of first year of Anthropology. But how? The students of anthropology of second year doing a ritual, this is the welcome to the mechones and a tradition in this career. In this ritual the older students, sponsor to the new students and doing different activities for to celebrate the arrival of the mechones to the univerty.

The ritual is a moment where the new students share with the older students and receive a new name and are sponsored and this person, man or woman, can help with the test, books for study, etc. I think that the ritual is a good activity, because in this moment you meet with the person who can share for the rest of your studies in the university, besides share with partners. But, lamentably I could not go to the ritual because I was sick.

Expectations for a new semester

Hello, this is my first year in the university, and this semester I am studying different subjects, as Archaeology, Philosophy of Social Sciences, Anthropology, Biology, Methodology for Social Sciences Research and Latin-American History, all are interesting, because I am learning new things, for example the difference between the individual and person, etc.

In my free time I am a volunteer in a laboratory of osteopathy in FACSO, it is not a subject, it is an extracurricular activity, I wanted yoga but for time I could not, but maybe the next semester.

I am not a part of other activities in the university, because these activities take time and the first year in the university is a year to adapt, and I don´t want to overcharge and finish stressed.

I expect many things for this new semester in the university, I want to learn a lot of things, to know other people, to get good marks and open my world.
