27 Things To Do If You Had A Time Machine

As college students, we stress ourselves sometimes more than necessary. I, for one, am probably the biggest kid ever, and I see nothing wrong with that. In fact, it would do some people good to let their 12-year-old self get excited once in awhile. With that being said, I was sitting here the other day, thinking about "Back to the Future," and what I would do if I had a time machine (or a Tardis, or some form of time travel). Thus, this article was born. Let your imagination run wild.

1. Go to the '50s and swing dance.

Because hey, why not? I can dig the '50s.

2. Stow away in NASA's spaceship in 1969 and step onto the moon with Neil Armstrong.

Okay, maybe not with Neil, but sneak on and live it up, maybe snap a secret selfie.

3. Dine with the the pilgrims.

4. Be the Mona Lisa.

5. Write one of The Rolling Stones' famous songs and sell it to them, so you get credit for it.

6. Land a role in the Brady Bunch so your face makes it to all TV screens across America.

7. Photo bomb The Beatles' famous "Abbey Road" album cover

8. Participate in the 1849 gold rush and be filthy rich in the present with your newly acquired fortune.

9. Jump on the back of Paul Revere's horse.

Thus changing the poem title into "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere and [insert your name here]."

10. Invest in Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, or all of them.

11. Get your name on the Declaration of Independence.

We can't read half those signatures anyway.

12. Be in a Shakespearean play.

But the real thing.

13. Go back and see your parents as teenagers.

They were probably not as angelic as they lead you to believe.

14. Go back to McDonald's in its prime and eat a good old-fashioned hamburger.

15. Meet Walt Disney.

Bring him back to the present. Show him the atrocity that is Disney Channel now and plead with him to fix it.

16. Ride a woolly mammoth.

17. Figure out the great mystery of Stonehenge and whether or not it was truly the aliens.

18. Make Jurassic Park actually happen.

It may be a little risky, but eh, live a little.

19. Invent the toaster strudel (for those who get the reference).

20. Go on a wild adventure with Steve Irwin.

21. Go to ancient Egypt, convince them you're divine, and have them craft a sphinx in your image.

22. Greet Columbus with some good ol' Southern hospitality on the shores of North America in 1492, toting a welcome basket, with assorted fruit and your mom's homemade muffins.

23. Find the origin of the first mosquito and murder it.

24. Brush up on your dance skills and be one of Michael Jackson's backup dancers in the "Thriller" music video.

25. Hang on for dear life onto the back of the Wright brothers' plane, living history, as you victoriously proclaim R. Kelly's famous "I BELIEVE I CAN FLY."

26. Go back and personally thank whoever invented Ramen noodles, for he has sustained the modern generation of college students.

27. Go back and give yourself a sports almanac... Oh, wait...

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
