FeelShed

I remember waking up the next morning and opening Facebook. The first status I saw was "WTF is going on in Nice?" At that point, I knew that something bad had happened.

Take me back to July 14, 2016

Ready for a walk down memory lane?

It is Thursday, July 14, 2016. Anyone born today will have the star sign Cancer. The summer of 2016 is in full swing. The weather is warm, and the evenings are brighter than usual. Most schools and colleges are now finished until August or September.

The song "One Dance" by Drake is at the top of the music charts in the United States and the United Kingdom. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie The Secret Life of Pets is at the top of the box office. Theresa May is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

It's 2016, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Drake, Lukas Graham, Sia, Mike Posner, The Chainsmokers and Calvin Harris. The killing of a gorilla called Harambe back in May continues to be a topic of conversation. Harambe has achieved a cult-like status, as memes and over-the-top tributes continue to be made in his memory. The UK has just voted to leave the European Union and Prime Minister David Cameron has resigned. The British Pound has tumbled to historic lows in the aftermath of the Brexit vote.

An augmented reality mobile game called Pokémon GO has recently been released. The game is rapidly rising in popularity. Portugal have just won the 2016 UEFA European Championship after an extra time goal from Eder helps them secure a 1-0 victory over France. On the reality TV show Love Island, Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey have just been crowned as winners.

Theresa May has become the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The world is reacting to a horrific terrorist attack that has just claimed the lives of 86 people in Nice, France. The perpetrator drove a cargo truck into crowds of people as they were celebrating Bastille Day. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Fidel Castro, Big Syke, George Michael, and Carrie Fisher would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Grey's Anatomy", "RuPaul's Drag Race", "American Horror Story", and "Orange Is the New Black". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Grand Theft Auto V", "The Sims 4", "Cities: Skylines", and "Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Jake and the Never Land Pirates", "Paw Patrol", "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", and "The Thundermans".

Popular toys at the moment include the Xbox One, Barbie Saddle n Ride, Shopkins Small Mart Playset, and Cool Baker Magic Mixer.
