I love the outdoors, so I knew the phenomenon of NDD that my peers had. You don't know what it is? There's a whole book about it, but I'm kind enough to give you a brief introduction to this right here. NDD stands for, Nature, Deficiet Disorder. Yup, you can have a nature deficiet disorder. Now, I'm not going to lie, I didn't come across this information myself, my outdoors program intructor did. And in addition to telling me about this, he convinced to read the intro of the book.

Ok yes, now I have to admit, nature does bite. But all the wondrous things, I swear! make it worth it.
