Take me back to October 9, 2016

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is October 9, 2016, and it's a Sunday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Libra. People are currently enjoying their weekend. However, because it's a Sunday, some are dreading the week ahead.

The summer is long gone. Temperatures have become much cooler, and the evenings are beginning to get darker. There is a fresh, earthy scent in the air, and fallen leaves have carpeted driveways, lawns, pathways, and sidewalks. In America, the song "Closer" by The Chainsmokers is at the top of the singles charts, while "Say You Won't Let Go" by James Arthur is the number-one song in the UK.

Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie The Girl on the Train is at the top of the box office. Theresa May is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "The Big Bang Theory", "New Girl", "Black Mirror", and "Line of Duty".

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 2016 United States presidential election is in full swing, with Hillary Clinton facing off against Donald Trump. A video clip of Danielle Bregoli shouting "Catch me outside, how about that?" is going viral as social media users repeatedly mimic her catch phrase.

The "Evil Kermit" meme is currently going viral, as people use the format to describe their battles with their inner conscience. The media is reporting that Kim Kardashian has been robbed at gunpoint in Paris by men disguised as police. The masked men made off with millions of dollars worth of jewellery. The 2016 US presidential election has been engulfed by a number of dramatic events. Russia has been publicly accused of trying to interfere with the election. The Washington Post has released an audio of Republican nominee Donald Trump making lewd remarks about grabbing women "by the p***y." Wikileaks has just released private emails belonging to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

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. People are playing video games such as "The Sims 4", "Call of Duty: Black Ops III", "Fallout 4", and "Forza Horizon 3". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse", "Liv and Maddie", "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", and "Girl Meets World".
