Take me back to September 8, 2017

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Friday, September 8, 2017. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. People have "that Friday feeling" and are excited for the weekend.

Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves. In the United States, Labor Day of 2017 has recently come and passed. To many, this means that the summer is officially over. In America, the song "Despacito (Remix)" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee is at the top of the singles charts, while "Look What You Made Me Do" by Taylor Swift is the number-one song in the UK.

Donald Trump is the President of the United States, and the movie The Hitman's Bodyguard is at the top of the box office. Theresa May is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

An Internet meme called "Distracted Boyfriend" is currently going viral. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Frank Vincent, Greg Antonacci, Hugh Hefner, and Tom Petty would all still be alive.
