Take me back to May 22, 2017

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Monday, May 22, 2017. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Gemini. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

The summer of 2017 has finally arrived. The weather has warmed up, and the evenings are brighter than usual. The school year is nearly finished. Memorial Day weekend is only a few days away, which means that many Americans are planning picnics, barbecues, and other outdoor events to celebrate the unofficial start of summer. In America, the song "I'm the One" by DJ Khaled is at the top of the singles charts, while "Despacito (Remix)" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee is the number-one song in the UK.

Donald Trump is the President of the United States, and the movie Alien: Covenant is at the top of the box office. Theresa May is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. It's 2017, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Ed Sheeran, Luis Fonsi, Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, The Chainsmokers, Migos, Sam Hunt and Post Malone.

A toy called the "fidget spinner" is becoming a worldwide sensation. A new Internet meme called "Mocking Spongebob" iS GoInG vIrAl at the moment. Former FBI Director Robert Mueller has recently been appointed Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice. Consequently, he has taken control over the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States Presidential Election.

There is shock and grief following the news that Soundgarden and Audioslave lead vocalist Chris Cornell has committed suicide. The campaign for the 2017 United Kingdom general election is currently underway, as UK Prime Minister Theresa May hopes to secure a larger majority. An Ariana Grande concert in Manchester has ended in tragedy after an Islamic terrorist kills 22 people with a homemade bomb.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Cheick Tioté, Adam West, Prodigy, and Stevie Ryan would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Grey's Anatomy", "The Big Bang Theory", "RuPaul's Drag Race", and "Orange Is the New Black". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Cities: Skylines", "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", "Mafia III", and "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".

Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", "The Thundermans", "Henry Danger", and "Bunnicula". Popular toys at the moment include Paw Patrol Lookout HQ, LEGO Star Wars: Millennium Falcon, Hot Wheels Ultimate Garage, and Fidget spinners.
