17 Reasons We All Need A Friend Like 'Aladdin's Genie
IMDb

In honor of Disney's release of "Aladdin: Diamond Edition" on Oct. 13, something I couldn't be any more excited about,I thought I'd take this opportunity to talk about one of my favorite characters: the one and only Genie. "Aladdin" was my favorite Disney movie growing up (still is, honestly) and the Genie was one of the reasons why. Not only was he super funny (thanks to the great Robin Williams, may he rest in peace), but he was also a great friend to Aladdin and the gang.

And so, without further ado, here are 17 of the many reasons we all need a friend like Genie:

1. He'll drop everything to be there for you when you need him.

2. He's not afraid to tell you like it is and call you out on your crap.

3. He makes you feel good about yourself.

4. He cheers you on.

4. He'll do anything to make you laugh.

5. He knows how to have a good time.

6. He gives great advice.

7. He's a great wingman.

8. He's got style and will help you pick out your clothes.

9. He does spot-on impersonations.

10. He's the kind of friend you can go years without seeing but still pick up right where you left off when you see him again.

11. He'll randomly break into song and dance with you.

You know, if you're into that kind of thing.

12. He's a big, lovable goofball.

13. He's got all your travel needs covered.

Not to mention, he's a great road trip buddy.

14. He can get you out of tight situations.

15. He'll always be on the same page as you.

You'll even be able to finish each other's sentences.

16. He'll always have your back.

17. And he's got magic, which is pretty cool.

You just wouldn't want to stay at his place.

So as you can see, for all those reasons and more, there really is no friend like Genie...

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
