New Year’s Superstitions

I am having really bad luck and need help getting my wishes to come true?

am going into seventh grade, and I had really bad luck in my sixth grade year,I was bullied and they make fun of me on the bus, and I spent almost all my savings on a flute, and It sounds awful, or is silent, and I embarrassed myself at band auditions, and I would like to find a way to grant these wishes? I am open to magical or non magical solutions, as I really need these wishes to come true? Please give me detailed instructions on how to make each wish come true?

Wish 1: I wish I could fly in a hot air balloon: Who doesn’t

Wish 2: I wish I could go to Kansas: I want to see the yellow brick road and the land of oz

Wish 3: I wish I could go to Iowa: I want to see the corn

Wish 4: I wish I could go to Tennessee: Ive always wanted to go there

Wish 5: I wish I could have a time machine: So I don’t have to read the dumb history book, and so I can change the past and have almost unlimited power. I also want to make it so that the principal was never born and attend the meetings where summer vacation was decided and add two extra months, and alter the timeline by going back to the birth of Christ to move Christmas to July

Wish 6: I wish I had a bulldozer: So I don’t have to ride the bus, and can outrun that damn buss

Wish 7: I wish I had a dragon: To torch the bullies

Wish 8: I wish I had a tiger: To attack bullies and be a nice cuddly pet

Wish 9: I wish my pet rabbit would come back to life: I miss my bunny, and I tried taking the rabbit to the kid next door who Is like Dr. Frankenstein, and I paid him $25.00 to have the rabbit reanimated, he is still dead, and I have read about alchemy, and I have the bunny in the cryonic suspension (kitchen freezer) until I can figure out the formula for the elixir of life, alchemical advise please

Wish 10: I wish I could play the flute: So I can join the f-ing band, my flute I spent all my savings on doesn’t work at all and when I tried to audition for the band I sounded awful.

Wish 11: I wish I could sail on a pirate ship: To see the Caribbean, I really want to see the Caribbean area, and I have watched the pirate movies, and just want to sail around the Caribbean.

Wish 12: I wish I was the most popular girl in school: So people stop laughing at me

Wish 13: I wish I had Frodo’s ring: Unlimited power, and It would make me unbeatable in any challenge, so I could win the State Games of America and beat that kid who made fun of me in PE.

Wish 14: I wish Brian would take me to the dance: I love him so much, and want him to be with me all my life. He ignores me and never comes to ask me to anything, he is sooo cute, and I would seriously jump into 40 degree water if that would make him like me, anything to make him like me

Wish 15: I wish I had a race horse: So I could compete in the Kentucky derby, the cost about a million bucks and my parents cant afford one right now, but I really want one.

Wish 16: I wish I could win a gold medal in the state games of America: All the best athletes compete there representing every state in the union, but I cant even make the Junior High teams. I really want to march in the parade, and take part in the pomp and circumstance or the medal ceremony, and beat those rats who made fun of me in PE

Wish 17: I wish I could sing better: To impress Brian, I cant sing worth a crap, and I really want to impress him, and I know he likes girls who can sing really good.

What kind of wand or spell do I need to make these wishes come true, and I need help now, and my parents don’t want to grant my travel wishes to avoid spoiling me?

What’s the big deal about the new year?

Doesn’t really make sense to me why people regard it with so much enthusiasm, but then again, most of folk superstition doesn’t really make much sense to me except that which was obviously implanted via commercialism.

So, what’s the big deal? It’s just another day, that won’t happen again just like any other day, the calendar is a largely arbitrary system (We could have the new year at any day of the year and it’d be just as valid). No one celebrates the end/beginning of every month that I know of, so calendar changes aren’t a big deal to most… While I’m all for celebrating change, that happens every day, and there’s nothing particularly special about the new year. Is it just an excuse to get drunk and make out at a particular time, or what?…

How many of yall gonna have some black-eyed peas and rice and some collard greens along with some pig’s feet?

or some other pork meat on New Year‘s Day for luck, money, and prosperity as the superstition goes?
I am! We got the pig’s feet and collards cooking now! I can’t afford to take any chances on the superstition NOT being true.
Oh yeah…………………HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What type of foods do americans eat on new years, as a symbol of good luck, or something like that..?
