Hello!

Currently I am a biology major and sophomore at the University of South Florida. After I graduate, I plan on becoming a Wildlife Biologist/Rehabilitator. I am deeply unhappy with my college life. I am stressed, depressed, angry, frustrated, anxious, and confused about everything all at the same time. I can barely find the motivation to pass my classes and I feel as if I am in a downward and endless spiral of unhappiness. To change this, I want to take a break from school and just travel and participate in wildlife conservation opportunities! Whomever is reading this, please make any suggestions and opinions you have on this. I would like to at least tell someone before I bring this idea up with my family and start making real plans to do this. I plan on volunteering and taking this gap year approximately from August 2018 to April 2019 which will be after I get my AA this summer term. During this gap year, I would like to become more knowledgeable about my world, become more humble, learn, and experience. Please write below your opinions, experiences, suggestions on what programs are best for a gap year in wildlife conservation, and everything else in between.
