Hi there! I've been doing my own research on a possible future in studying Zoology at University and thankgod I found the 'zoological' side of tumblr, and I was just wondering how did you prepare yourself for your studies at College/Uni during your highschool years? I think I have tried to apply at every Department of Conservation and Zoo in my area for conservation work for some extra experience and we have a law where there is an age limit(18), what would you recommend I do to prepare myself?

Hello! I’ve actually only just finished high school myself, so I don’t find out whether or not I’ve gotten into university until the 14th of August - a date that I am dreading.

The main advice I would give is to just continue being as proactive as you currently are! I managed to get offers from all 5 of the universities I applied to, and the main thing they all said made the biggest impact was me getting actively involved in the zoological community. 

I did a lot of volunteer work at zoos, and still currently do work at my local nature reserve and london wildlife trust as a whole, which definitely helped a lot with firsthand knowledge on conservation, and people skills (which oddly enough, is needed an awful lot for work in zoology). I know zoos may seem way more exciting, but never underestimate nature reserves!!! A lot of my best memories have been whilst working at my nature reserve, and I’m pretty sure it’s what gave me the most experience.

Most of all, stick around in the ‘zoological side of tumblr’. I don’t think there is any other place in which such an amazing group of people all come together sharing one common interest. You’ll observe and be a part of debates and discussions on important zoological and biological matters with people that are seriously high up in their field; and that’s something that I don’t think you’ll get anywhere else.

YOU GOT THIS.

whats does having a follow blog do

nothing, its the worst. this used to be a side blog and i had a main blog (my friends from school followed me on that blog). i started gaining more followers on this blog and it felt more like a personal blog than my other main blog so i decided to make a follow blog.
