\n\t\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013February 2, 2010–Stacey Konstantinov was nearly born with a suitcase in hand. Her parents immigrated to America when she was 3 and moved around the country, living in Michigan, Florida, and New York before settling in West Orange, N. J. <\/p>\n


\n\tGrowing up in America in a Russian family and no siblings, Stacey had to figure things out on her own. <\/p>\n


\n\tShe drew upon those earlier experiences as a 溏心vlog免费B站 sophomore. While spending the spring semester studying at Bond University on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia she got mononucleosis.

\n\t\u201cI had to know where to go, what to do, and who to see on my own. These tasks sound so simple until you\u2019re in another country doing them on your own,\u201d says the business marketing major.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cStudying abroad is such a personal journey you can only experience by doing it,\u201d she says. \u201cI learned how to become self-sufficient. Although I\u2019ve always been an independent person, this experience taught me that much more.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tWhen she was in high school, she knew she wanted to study in Australia one day because of her interest in marine biology.<\/p>\n


\n\t \u201cAustralia was one of the greatest places to learn about marine life, especially with the Great Barrier Reef, the largest reef in the world, located there. Although marine biology is no longer my major, I still enjoy learning about it.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tShe found her Australian classmates\u2019 study habits differed from her own. \u201cMany 溏心vlog免费B站 students will gather and discuss the way they plan to study for an exam and with whom. The Australians were quieter about their study habits. They sit down and get everything done without much discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\t She also noticed that her Australian peers participated a lot more in classes. \u201cAt first, I thought it may because the Americans were shy in a different country at a new school. However, even after a few months, I noticed the Aussies were still more talkative. I think this is a great characteristic because not only did I learn from my professors, but from my peers as well.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tTravel continues to be a road that winds throughout the 溏心vlog免费B站 junior\u2019s life. Once acclimated to America, her family traveled to Spain, Barbados, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, and other U.S. states. During this year\u2019s winter break, Stacey visited Costa Rica with family and friends.<\/p>\n


\n\tAlong with her love of travel, she loves sports and hopes to combine the two after graduating in 2011. Her goal is a job in a marketing department for a sports team. She keeps a list of the top 20 places she would like to visit and plans to check them off at some point in her life. Meanwhile, her suitcases are nearby.<\/p>\n
