15 Reasons to Watch Fight Club Right Now

The date was November 2nd, 2015. I walked in my school’s screening room at approximately 5:15. At 5:22 the FBI warning came across the tiny LED screen.

I never thought Brad Pitt was attractive before.

I watched half of Fight Club that day. I had a class at 6:30. I was decently confused as to where this film was going. I probably wouldn’t have continued if it wasn’t in the top 10 on IMDb’s famous Top 250 and (more importantly) if my boyfriend (at the time) didn’t offer to finish it off with me later that week.

That November I watched Fight Club 36 times. Whenever I needed background noise to study to or an icebreaker for a blossoming friendship, Fight Club was there for me.

If you haven’t seen this classic cult film here’s why:

1. Academy Award Winner Brad Pitt in his prime.


2. Acclaimed actor Edward Norton takes us away.


3. It's a pretty faithful adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's (first ever published) book of the same name.

Upon watching it he actually said “Fun fact: his first completed work Invisible Monsters has been a great influence on Panic! at the Disco’s first album A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out

4. Because it's more tan just a "Fight Club"


5. It's so quotable.


6. You'll laugh! (Stop hitting yourself)


7. Jared Leto circa 30 Seconds to Mars.


8. Helena Bingham Carter being a QUEEN.


9. Directed by David Fincher, who brought Gone Girl and The Social Network to life.

10. There's a plot twist that M. Night Shyamalan can't ever beat.


11. The plot twist makes it even better to watch the second time around.


12. The cinematography is so enticing.


13. It teaches us you can change your life.


14. It's just a rad film.


15. You'll probably be my best friend after watching this and I could use more friends

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
