I’m from the South and have never heard about FAC but it sounds great! Also… can I come over for lunch? =P That shrimp dish looks delicious!
i’ve never heard of FAC…? but i can say the overall theme in my closet is a lot of black and some bright colors. i need to get that together!
UNI FAC! I was too young to be there but that didn’t stop me then. Have fun!
That recipe looks fantastic! I love black and white clothing and I love to dress it up with fun scarves, purses, or jewelry. But lately I’ve been buying basic solid colored sweaters and tops so that I can have a few more options. Don’t worry, we all have certain colors and styles we gravitate to.
FAC was the death of me most Fridays at ISU. I miss it :(
Ha! I’m from Iowa so I know all about FAC; we didn’t have it out east where I went to school. Most of my friends did a lot more than “blow off steam” at FAC, that’s for sure!
Pretty sure FAC is an Iowa thing … I remember it from the U of Iowa (although my favorite FAC bar/wing eatery is gone), but I went to law school @ Minnesota and nobody up here knew what I was talking about.
My college didn’t have many Friday classes – we were on a quarter system, so most classes met either Mon/Wed or Thurs/Fri. My only Friday classes all through undergrad were a biology lecture and calculus lab for 1 hour on Fridays freshman year for 10 weeks!
I’m from the south and we don’t call it FAC but all the bars in college towns here have great Friday happy hour specials starting around 2pm!
We did not have those kinds of deals on Fridays in Eugene. Sounds awesome though. I was always too busy to have a pitcher (or pint) of beer until 9pm or so. It made me jealous to see teh groups of people enjoying beer on the patio of the local campus bar at 2pm.
I have never heard of FAC, but I pretty much go out and blow off some steam anyways every Friday. Today I even had a sluf day :P lol
-Court
Ahhh good times at FAC. I had butt parked at the Sports Column just about every Friday at 2 p.m.
as a northwest wisconsin girl I’m always on the lookout for new treadmill routines…definitely gonna add this one into the rotation! :)
love,

UNI FAC, the reason that even though we went home in between to shower and do our best to be presentable, we only lasted a few hours at Sharkey’s or Tony’s before being told that maybe we should just go ahead call it a night even though it was only 11pm :S.
P.S….Suds and the Stein seemed to be a little more understanding of our “condition”.
Grace, Bo James was the place to be for FAC at Iowa! Miss that so much. I even have a scrapbook page devoted to it.
You make the yummiest sounding dishes that are also so simple! Love it! I LOVE Israeli Couscous but have a hard time finding it in my town. :(
I’ve never heard of FAC. I might need to implement FAW – Friday After Work. :)
I miss the OP…tear… :(
I’m from Alabama and have never heard of FAC, but I like the idea! The only thing we have is “Thirsty Thursdays” which doesn’t make sense because we still have classes on Friday. Oh well, celebrate whenever you can!
Israeli couscous is my FAVORITE!
We don’t have FAC at my school but I think I’m going to start it. I’ve never heard of it before! I think it’s a great idea
I definitely took part in FAC at UNI…..made for way early nights though, b/c we started so early!
My closet is full of black, white, grey, some pinks and a random eggplant color. I am as basic as they come. FAC…never heard of it but hubby is a UNI alum. I’ll ask him! :)
israeli couscous is the jam, no kidding. we sub it in for rice in the BRAT system when anyone in our house gets sick(BIAT system?). everything i own, apparel-wise, is either black, grey, or denim–i’m sort of an accessory-and-cosmetic junkie and i’d rather use up color on my face or a scarf than clothes. what’s all this about FAC? i’ve never heard of it, but at rutgers-or any college i know in new jersey-weekends started on thurday night anyway. :)
bummer…i meant thurSday*
um no we didn’t have FAC! wth?!
is it random that i noticed you wear a lot of black and white?! i mean, i guess reading someones blog everyday you are bound to notice details like this. hey, you like what you like!!
I too have noticed a lot of black in your pictures…however, can your really go wrong in black?
I had never heard of FAC until I went to Iowa! Bo James ;)
I attend the second largest party school in the country (ohio university) and I’m pretty sure every day after class would be considered “FAC” hah. But no, we do not have a specific name for such a thing. Drink specials here are only good on any day that ends with “day.”
My closet is pretty colorful–perhaps too much so, if that’s possible? Most of my wardrobe is in reds and purples.
Let it cook until everything’s “yummy looking.” I love this! Sometimes the time requirement (cook for 8 minutes…blah blah blah) does not help at all. Oh, and I also love adding lemon to dishes. My mom made dinner for my friends and I last night and made an absolutely delish, light and lemony chicken piccata. Our family also makes the best lemon chicken salad. Reminds me of spring!
We definitely did at Wisconsin! Must be a midwestern thing :)
Black is an overwhelming color in my closet and very little pattern. Not too exciting!
Well I went to U of Iowa so of course I know all about FAC!
My entire wardrobe is dark but I really love wearing blacks and grays. It just works for me.
I haven’t made cous cous is ages but that TJ’s brand is really top notch.
i have a lot of color in my closet- pinks, blues, greens…. but my friend (and mom and other friends) wears almost all black, so you’re in good company
I spy what look like some SUPER cute multicolored striped flats down on the bottom right-ish there….mind if I ask where they’re from? I need to spice up my (shoe) life a bit.
My wardrobe is almost entirely black,white, grey, and navy. I try to wear more color but somehow it always comes back to black. You’re not alone!
PS the 30min-35 min segment of 7.5 + 0.1 every minute looks killer. i want to try it in the next couple days but i’m afraid. i have to remember: mind over matter!
At The University of Florida, our big campus bar is The Swamp. We had FASP (Friday Afternoon Swamp Party) eeeeevery week! Oh, college… how I miss you.
I have never heard of FAC here in MN. Although my college is smaller and doesn’t have bars on campus – there are specific bars that the college students usually frequent. The college specials are on Thursday nights a.k.a. Thirsty Thursdays!
Most of my friends, including myself, got out of having Friday classes most of my years in college… guess you could say we had “thursdays after class” since that was pretty much the biggest party night of the week! :)
I’m from the Midwest and go to school in the Midwest and I have never heard of FAC. Although, I rarely have class on Fridays so I guess mine would be TAC (Thursday)!
FAC now is Friday After Cubicle.
Here in Colorado, FAC stands for Friday Afternoon Club. Still hear it quite a bit and not just with the college crowd. Have a great weekend!
Yes! FAC! We did that at Drake :-)
I love Israeli Couscous! This recipe looks amazing! I definitely need to make this. I have never heard of FAC! It sounds like it would be fun!!
I am from Iowa and graduated from UNI. U of I’s FAC was far superior to UNI’s FAC :) I had a lot of friends that went to U of I so I would just go down there for FAC. Bo James was wonderful!
I’ve never heard of FAC before, although I’m sure we have something of a similar concept!
My closet has a good amount of color to it, although I tend to have a lot of green and purple. Explain that to me!
P.S. I LOVE Israeli cous-cous. Great chewy texture!
I think FAC is a University of Iowa thing….maybe? I am from michigan and went to undergrad there and had never heard of it. I now live in the Iowa city area and am going to graduate school….and coming to U of I was the first time I was exposed to FAC.
FAC @ The OP – for sure!!
We had FAC at University of Wisconsin too! Ahhh I miss college…
Definitely did FAC at Iowa State! At the bar by 2:00, home in bed by 6:00:) Ahhhh the good ole days!!!
Where did you find the Israeli Couscous? I went to my local grocery store in the international section and I couldn’t find it. Did you find it at a specialty store?
