Friday the 13th has traditionally been when the superstitious take extra care and double check everything they do. They also consider unlucky to open an umbrella indoors or walk under a ladder.Are you superstitious?
I'm definetly not superstitious. Actually, I think that everything is up to your mind. If you think that Friday the 13th in going to be an unlucky day, it will. On the other hand, if you don't know it's Friday the 13th it will just be an ordinary day as any other. Something unlucky can happen to you every day. Haven't something unlucky happened to you and it wasn't Friday the 13th?
From my point of view it's all phsycological. You just have to order your mind and think positively. Then everything will go as it has to whether it's Friday the 13th or have passed under a ladder.

Hi Júlia,
I’m neither superstitious. I agree completely with you that it’s just a psychological persuasion. I think it’s quite traditional that the number 13 is related symbolically with bad luck, but it’s nothing real. When I was younger I used to believe stories like you told (umbrella, ladder…), but now I’m definitely convinced that these are just popular myths.
When people tell it has happened something unlucky to them on a Friday the 13th, it’s similar to the queue in a supermarket: you believe that you’re always on the slowest cash, but it’s just because you don’t remember the times it went quickly.
So good luck for you anyway, independently of the day!
