I feel like this song fits the current mood of the year. Currently on infinite repeat in my head.

This is 100% me
ask any teenager what type of music they listen to and 99 percent of the time they’ll say ‘anything but country’
These guys are amazing. Deserves so much more attention.
Look em up
I’ll start this first DR by saying how I’m going to format these. Each post will be accompanied by a photo I have taken from something I did that day. It does not necessarily mean that the photo is related to the DR. I just want a photo in it to make it look *nicer*. I’ll try my best to keep these brief - as in no more than a 1000 words each.
Today has been quite a whirlwind of events. I decided to embark on a new journey and have this blog be evidence of it. Why? I guess I finally decided I need to start expressing myself more - in ways that I’m not necessarily comfortable with or used to. So now I’ve decided to make Daily Routines and in general, be more active on this blog. This is marked by the change of name, description, and pictures for my profile.
First I’ll start with the name; Why “Ode To Overstreet”? Well it comes from one of my favorite songs of the same name by one of my favorite bands of all time: Console Warriors. So the name is near and dear to my heart - but I’ve given it my own meaning as well. I want to think of it as a description of this blog. “Ode to Overstreet” meaning in a sense: the song of my life. A far reaching metaphor, but I feel it works.
“Ode” meaning song and then “to Overstreet“ meaning describing a street where it may be difficult getting past (or in this case, going over).
The description on my profile is self explanatory. The new profile picture I found on Reddit on r/animalcollective. I just found it cool, especially since it was inspired by another one of my favorite bands of all time. I wish I could credit the original author. The cover photo is just a picture of myself that I’ve really liked. You can search my old posts to find it.
Well, there you have it - a full description of my blog. I guess to wrap up this first DR, I’ll comment on the picture I chose. This was a delicious cup of coffee I had while writing all of this. To me, it symbolizes the work I did to transform this blog and the effort I’m putting into it. A cup of coffee makes the creative juices flow.
Today’s DR will be short. Pictured above you can see me in what I like to call my “summer moccasins”, AKA Sanuk slippers. They’re very comfortable but not the most stylish -- I don’t care though, especially since I paired them with my mesh shorts.
So like my outfit suggests, this post will be of similar content. Laziness. I’ve been being kind of a bum lately. I should be training for my half-marathon in November, but I run so inconsistently now. I think it’s mostly due to my schedule just becoming so busy, but also I’ve already gotten that mid-semester laziness. I need to get it in check soon or else my grades will slip.
But it’s okay to be lazy sometimes. Your body needs it. To just sit back and relax without a care in the world. Recharge your batteries per say. Just don’t let it get to you or the laziness will consume you.
William. 20. Daily routine. Music suggestions. Poems and short prose. General life activities. RVA. Use #odetooverstreet or #dailyroutine if you want me to see your creative writing. I'll repost the best.
