7 Things You Should Avoid Doing At All Costs On Friday The 13th

This is a friendly warning.

Ahhh it's Friday the 13th and while some people don't buy into superstition, knowing you can't be too careful, we here at College Times prefer to air on the side of caution. Should any of these 7 things be on your agenda for today, avoid doing them at all costs.

1 Open heart surgery

On the off chance you're going to have your chest cut open today and will be at the mercy of men in white coats poking around with their sharp bits - don't do it. Just tell the hospital, thanks but not today.

2 A new hair cut

The repercussions of this are catastrophic. What if your hairdresser is having an off day and gets out her best cookware to give you a bowler head?

Or what if she was a big fan of Bonnie's look in Friends and decides to shave your head altogether? We don't want to see the moonlight bouncing off our heads!

3 Go on a first date

First dates are nerve wracking as it without temping fate on Friday the 13th. What if they arrive, take one look at you and turn on their heels and run? What if they're serious control freaks and make you fill out a quiz ranking your favourite sex positions? Or what if you end up passed out on the table after having one too many and they snap photos of you to send to their mates? No, best to send them a text saying you don't feel well and arrange to reconvene at a later time.

4 Eat spicy chili

If your favourite Chile is going to have a bad effect on you, it will be on Friday the 13th. Make sure to stay away from spicy food unless you want to recreate the infamous American Pie scene.
