Geocaching is my Escape

With college quickly coming to a close it is really beginning to become very stressful. When the weekends come I just want to do something other than think about school. In fact, school is the last thing I want to think about until Sunday night when it is time to study for the next day’s inevitable exam. Anyways, the weekends are when I can free myself of the chains of education and go geocaching. There are so many benefits to this sport for me. Not only do I find it as a very fun hobby to just do for fun but it helps me to take my mind off of the things that are going on around me. I may go off on some tangents here but it is only because my mind has been so jumbled as of late. I am trying to find a career for after I graduate and in doing so I have had interviews almost every week. I do not know what day of the week it is anymore. This past weekend when I went home it was such a breath of fresh air to be out in the woods again completely oblivious to the fact that in less than two months I will be facing the real world head on. I am not sure if other cachers get this feeling or not but I hope it never goes away. Even after I do find somewhere to work and begin a whole new chapter of my life I still want geocaching to be my escape from everything. Who knows what kind of stress I will be facing then. The one thing I do know is that whenever I need a pick me up or some kind of positive energy in my life I like to go geocaching. I realize I am still rather young and am pretty new to the whole geocaching scene. However, I do not think it is too early for me to notice that when I am out in the world searching for hidden treasure that every one of my problems or troubles just seem to disappear all together. Who could complain with that?
