Entering the store, I was immediately transported to the kind of ancient bookstore with creaking floors and books that smelled so intensely of old wood and vanilla you read about in fairytales. The shelves were lined with crystals, incense, books, and all other necessary items for pursuing spiritual enlightenment. I neared the various shiny crystals labeled “rose quartz”, “clear quartz”, and “amethyst”. The label noted that the pink rose quartz crystal is connected to the heart chakra, meaning it helps the heart heal from pain. I continued walking with the rose quartz in hand and approached a section of books dedicated to describing different rituals associated with crystals. All hinted at the importance of lighting incense in these practices to cleanse your surroundings, I made sure to purchase white sage aroma sticks. In the book section, I decided to buy a purple notebook dedicated to this new chapter of my spiritual journey.
I continued walking with the rose quartz in hand and approached a section of books dedicated to describing different rituals associated with crystals. In September, I had to opportunity to sit down via Zoom with yet another teenage genius, Lillian Kay Petersen, for BUST Magazine s Winter 2021 print edition.
The book is filled with action, suspense, and a touch of romance. One of the main themes in Magic States is the conflict between magic and technology. The authors present a world in which these two forces are constantly vying for dominance.

I'm pleased to announce that this week, I officially began my postgraduate studies at Trinity College Dublin. I will be working towards a Master of Philosophy in Gender and Women's Studies, living and researching in Dublin, Ireland for the next year. I can't even begin to describe how excited I am for this chapter of my life, and how incredibly thankful I am for the people and experiences that got me to this point.

I'm beyond excited to announce that this week, I officially graduated from Pratt Institute with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Writing and a minor in Literature. Although the commencement was virtual, I am honored to have celebrated my graduation from Pratt after a week of virtual and in-person readings and celebrations, a crazy 13-or-so months of hybrid learning, and the best four years of my life so far. I am endlessly grateful for my time at Pratt and am looking forward to wherever the passion for writing and literature Pratt and my amazing friends, peers, and professors instilled in me takes me next!

Nine months, eight short stories, and 100 pages later, this week I completed and submitted my senior thesis for the Writing BFA at Pratt Institute! This was one of the most difficult, most rewarding things I have ever done. I am so proud of this collection, as well as the work my peers created this school year and over the course of our past four years together at large. I cannot thank the Writing Department enough for their endless support. Here's to whatever adventure writing stories takes me on next! I can't wait to continue to see what my incredibly talented friends do with their art.

In September, I had to opportunity to sit down via Zoom with yet another teenage genius, Lillian Kay Petersen, for BUST Magazine's Winter 2021 print edition. This comes after I got the chance to interview biotech queen and Harvard student, Kavya Kopparapu, for BUST's Summer 2020 issue. Both of these visionaries show just how different the world can be with more girls in STEM.

Reviews for "Exploring the Different Types of Magic States in ilona andrews vk's Works"
1. John - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Magic Bites" by Ilona Andrews. The world-building was confusing and lacked depth, and the magic system felt underdeveloped. The main character, Kate Daniels, was not very likable or relatable to me, and I found her interactions with other characters to be shallow and uninteresting. The plot also meandered without a clear direction, making it hard for me to stay engaged. Overall, I couldn't connect with this book and I don't plan on continuing the series.
2. Sarah - 3/5 - While "Magic Bites" had an intriguing premise, I struggled to enjoy it due to the inconsistent pacing. The story started off slow, and when it finally picked up, the action felt rushed and chaotic. The writing style of Ilona Andrews also did not resonate with me, as I found it to be overly descriptive and lacking in emotional depth. Additionally, I found some of the characters to be one-dimensional and predictable, making it hard for me to invest in their journeys. Overall, "Magic Bites" had potential, but failed to deliver a satisfying reading experience.
3. Jessica - 2/5 - "Magic Bites" by Ilona Andrews fell flat for me. The plot felt convoluted and hard to follow, with too many elements being introduced without proper explanation. The writing style was also off-putting, with repetitive phrases and cliché dialogue. Furthermore, I found the action scenes to be confusing and lacking in suspense. The main character, Kate Daniels, was portrayed as strong and independent, but I found her to be unrelatable and lacking depth. Overall, I was disappointed by "Magic Bites" and it did not live up to the hype for me.
