KOR Korean Street Food: Bibimbap Review

KOR Street Food is a new fast food restaurant in Market Mall's food court. They serve various popular Korean foods, including "kordogs" (an impressive Korean variation of corndogs with cheese/sausage/chewy-rice inside), mandoo/mandu (Korean dumplings), and of course bibimbap - a bowl of rice with assorted meats, vegetables, and sauces. It seems like the K-wave expanded from K-pop and K-dramas into K-food (delicious). As I pondered their menu, my eyes slowly widened after gazing upon the words "choose vegetables [no limit]". Gone were the days of stressfully considering each vegetable combination - finally, I could have them all. This cemented my choice of ordering the "make your own bibimbap". https://www.korstreetfood.com/menu-marketmall Not only was my choice of vegetables limitless, but I felt exhilarated at the fact that if I were a paragon of health, I could select a base of spring mixed greens rather than the all-too-standard carbohydrates that r...

5 Things to do Before the UCalgary Semester Starts

I know, I know... summer is almost over already and it feels like it's barely started.

My Study Abroad "Girl Math(s)"

For the unitiated, "Girl Math" is when you justify spending money as saving money by jumping through a few mental hoops - such as by spending an extra $15 on Amazon to get free shipping. So as a lighthearted and slightly helpful financial overview of my exchange experience from UCalgary to Oxford Brookes University, here are some Girl Math examples I thought about during my study abroad experience. If you exchange to a university with tuition more expensive than your home university, you're getting a great deal Living in student accommodation is $30/night versus a minimum $100/night hotel, and you get a free transit pass, so it's a super discounted vacation! Visiting a free museum in the UK is worth $30 equivalent in Canada. So visit many! Every $400 trip to another country basically saves $1000+ in flights that you'd have to pay to take that trip from Canada If you get a study abroad scholarship, that's free money that you wouldn't get otherwise  Eating l...
