7 Reasons Everyone Should Marry 'An Aladdin'
Disney

After a very productive day of laying in bed and watching my extensive Disney movie collection, I have come to realize Aladdin is the best Disney prince. I am getting married in October, and after watching Aladdin, I realized my fiance encompasses all of Aladdin's traits that make him the perfect man to marry.

1. He is selfless.

Sure, Aladdin's a thief. But, he is a thief with a heart of gold. He proves that in his opening scene where he and Abu are clearly starving for food. However, they find the poor children who are also hungry and he so effortlessly gives them the bread he has. Then, he jumps in front of a whip for them! Thankfully, Jasmine let Raja take care of that suitor and gave him what he deserved.

2. He has the best sense of humor.

What other Disney prince gets to sing a song, let alone a song with such hilarious lyrics? "I steal only what I can't afford (that's everything!)", we understand, Aladdin. He is quick with the comebacks too. After the not-so-nice suitor tosses him into the dirt and trots off through the palace doors with his horse, Aladdin tells Abu, "Look Abu, it's not every day you see a horse with two rear ends."

3. He is brave.

He jumps in front of danger for children about to get whipped. He grabs a mans arm who is about to slice off a woman's fingers. He ventures into a dark and terrifying cave in the shape of a tiger's head. Then, he fights the evil Jafar who is now a psychopathic monstrous genie.

4. He is loyal.

He stays loyal to the people he loves. Aladdin makes a promise and sticks to it. At the beginning of the film, he promises Genie that he will set him free as his final wish. But, when Aladdin cannot marry Jasmine due to not being a prince any longer, because of Jafar, Genie tells him to make being a prince his last wish. Instead, Aladdin surprises Genie and grants him his freedom!

5. He holds himself accountable.

After Jasmine hears Aladdin discussing with the Sultan and Jafar about her future, he realizes it was wrong and apologizes to her. He admits that she is right and it is her choice. Even after Aladdin lies to Jasmine about being a prince, he apologizes to her and acknowledges that it was wrong of him to do so.

6. He is adventurous.

He always finds an adventure in whatever he is doing. He shows Jasmine a whole new world outside of the palace walls. He takes her on a magic carpet ride. Who doesn't want that for a first date?

7. He loves Jasmine for exactly who she is.

Aladdin never asks Jasmine to change something about her or dislikes anything about her. He loves her fiery attitude and her ability to get what she deserves. From the moment he met Jasmine, he was madly in love and it did not change when he discovered she was the princess. He only thinks he needs to make himself better for her.


Ladies, make sure you go down the Aladdin check list when trying to find your Prince Charming. It got me mine.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
