The early Roman calendar consisted of 10 months and 304 days, with each new year beginning at the vernal equinox; according to tradition, it was created by Romulus, the founder of Rome, in the eighth century B.C. A later king, Numa Pompilius, is credited with adding the months of Januarius and Februarius. That calender later fell out of sync and was remade by julius caesar

It started around 2000 B.C., The Mesopotamians (inhabitants in an ancient region) were known to first celebrate New Year. In 46 B.C., Julius Caesar accepted January 1st as the date for New Year. It was naturally adapted globally to the whole world and that's why we in the US have this particular day on the new years.

In 1752, England and its American colonies officially adopted January 1st as New Year. Some cultures, like the Romans, initially celebrated New Year every March 1st, while some went for the winter solstice or summer equinox. I don't know if still do it now though.

In many different countries, New Year's Eve is celebrated at evening social gatherings, where many people dance, eat, drink alcoholic beverages, and watch or light fireworks to mark the new year. Some go to some places such as Las Vegas to watch a firework service and celebrate the new years as it happens. Some Christians attend a watchnight service. The celebrations generally go on past midnight into New Year's Day, 1 January. I'd go more into detail into what people usually eat on the holidays but I'll save that for another padlet.

What I've learned in the past year was actually pretty useful, and I still use it even now. starting at the first place, would be just to do it. I've always been hesitant to do things and I still am but it's a lot better now. I missed out on so many opportunity's in different situations before, I just don't wanna regret anything I do. Secondly, would to actually put more effort into homework because thats an essential. I failed math because of that so I have to keep an eye to that. Lastly would be to always come prepared. I sometimes forget to bring a pencil,  I always do but sometimes I forget.

Now that I look back, it wasn't a good year at all. In my opinion it was definitely one of the bad ones. So many bad things happened.
