This is driving me insane. I keep clicking on the form I want to see but it just keeps showing me the code for it as oppose to the actual form. I'm on Visual Basic on visual studio if that helps.

If you are talking about the web designer, there is a setting under Tools->Options->Html Designer->General called "Start Pages In" that lets you choose design or code or split view
If you are talking about Silverlight/XAML, there is a setting under Tools->Options->Text Editor->XAML called "Default View" that lets you choose to always open documents in full xaml view

right click your project (right below the solution) in the solution explorer, add existing item, go to where you saved your project and add the form, and double click on the form. This worked for me.

At the solution explorer, right click on the file and select open with then select -Web Forms Editor- you can set it as default if you want. To see the code, right click on the file and select -View Mark Up - I hope it helps.

With WinForms I had the same trouble, it turns out that VS2013 defaults to the "Class View" by default, so be sure to select the "Solution Explorer" first, then you can just double click the form name and the form designer for the form should open.
Right click on the FormName.vb in the file view list and hit View Designer...
