There are many reasons why students do not take self-awar- e. advantage of available resources. Ignorance, forgetfulness, pride or anxiety can all prevent one from reaching out. In fact, I used to be one of these students. I was so caught up in my anxiety that I refused to reach out for help even when teachers requested I do so. However, after getting my anxiety under control and exploring what the campus has to offer, I feel as if a whole new world has opened up to me. I not only use but also work at the Writing Center, Special Collections and Archives Library and the campus newspaper. I frequented the Career Center in order to help me achieve these Academic Info said, "Using these services can help you grow academically, teach you good time management skills that will stand in good stead all your life... advise you on courses to take for the career you want and assist you with all health concerns that arise over your college career."

Night Shyamalan's new film "Glass" is a well-mad- nearly magician-likHowever, he didn't do it nearly as well in "Glass" as he did in earlier films such as, "The Village," "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs." In those films, the twists were clever. In this new film, the twist was not shocking or clever. It is unexpected, because Elijah Price, or "Mr. Glass" leads us to believe there is going to be a grand showdown of epic proportions. We still get a showdown, but it only serves to reveal the twist at the end instead of an all out war between the good guys and the bad guys. My vagueness about the ending is proof of how Shyamalan tells his stories. Revealing too much about the end would ruin the intent of the twist and e, thought provoking film that left me disappointed because it didn't end the "nineteen years in the making" trilogy with a bang. Shyamalan returns to the story he began with "Unbreakable," expounded upon with the surprise sequel "Split" and finishes with "Glass." With "Glass," he once again proves he is a master of the surprise ending. The director accomplishes his surprise endings by keeping us focused on what the characters are doing. ' 4 ultimately veto any need to view the film. In a way that is where his films fall short. If any part of the end is exposed, the entire movie is ultimately ruined for anyone who intended to see it. I find Shyamalan's niche for seciet twist endings entertaining, but they value diminish the bemind in his films of my cause once I've seen how it ends, I'm not going to have the same sense of mystery when watching it again as I do during the first viewing. There are a few things I did enjoy in "Glass," one of those being the idea that these three extraordinary men don't really have super powers; but suffer from a psychological condition which makes them believe they have superhuman abilities. It was interesting to see them broken down to ordinary people who developed a way to compensate for weaknesses in themselves. Shyamalan successfully makes his characters relatable by exposing their vulnerabili ch ties and showing how each of them learned to cope through fantastic delusions of grandeur. This gives the film an intellectual aspect that I enjoyed. The downside of this approachalbeit a brilliant oneis that the audience is either going to believe that Dunn and company are insane as Dr. Ellie Paulson suggests, or they will want the improbability that she is explaining it away with her science to be true. Either these three men are completely out of their minds and have managed to physically manifest their delusions, or they do actually have super powers. I certainly wanted them to have super powers and hoped for a battle on par with the one between Thor and Hulk in "Thor: Ragnarök." I didn't get an epic battle because the end Shyamalan envisioned is decidedly subtle and far less grandiose. However, the end is brilliant in its creation because we learn SEE JONNY PAGE 4 I , , , , I ; Now.wsommoll James McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Jo- ' y in "Glass." 1...:t;'.1.:.,.)èf!'f,.i.," DIRECTOR: M.
