Since it's Friday the 13th, I decided I should give you a quick rundown of bad luck things to be avoided and good luck things to help counteract today's inherent bad luck. Some of the following are not very widespread (and could therefore be wrong), so blame Google for any misleading superstitions.
Also, if you're superstitious, I apologize for presumably adding to your list of things to avoid and potentially making your life more uncomfortable..
Bad Luck
Breaking a mirror
Walking under a ladder
Opening an umbrella indoors
Black cats
Starting a trip on a Friday
Dreaming of someone getting married
Spilling salt
Seeing an owl in daylight
Stepping on cracks
Rocking an empty rocking chair
Killing a ladybug
Bats flying in your house
Sleeping on a table
A groom seeing the bride in her wedding dress before the wedding
I have some catching up to do, and don't worry- if you're unsure how you feel about that, I've got something for just about every emotion.
Excited: Justina comes to visit me tomorrow!
Happy: The Nashville fireworks are the best I've ever seen.
Sad: My family had to put down my 14.5 year old puppy July 3rd. I'm going to miss that little goofball.
Bummed: I got to visit Liz last week (I was in town for an interview) and I miss hanging out with her and her family! I had sooo much fun!
Mad: When I went downtown for the 4th of July, there was a girl there with a microphone who was saying that "God didn't make people homosexual. These are choices people make and these people will go to Hell for it". I could feel my arm twitching and had to leave before I hit her. I can't believe people still have views like this.
Nervous: I'm already getting pretty nervous about the end of the year presentations I have to give.
Thankful: I am so thankful to have good friends and family and to have the opportunity to study something I love. I'm also nervous about a few upcoming interviews.
Antsy/restless: I just wanna graduate and be done with school forever! Also, as soon as school is over, I get to go fishing in Canada!! Canada is the bright, sunny light at the end of this seemingly endless tunnel.
