From the beginning of the 2018-2019 Florida State Men's Basketball season with the demolition of Florida at the home opener, to the most recent, fiery road win at Miami, the Noles have continued to display their talents and deliver exciting games to the Nole Nation. Listed below are some of the most iconic aspects of Seminole Basketball home games at the Tucker Center.

1. Getting ripped off and having to buy a student ticket off of some random person on an FSU Facebook page.

I guess college kids have to make money somehow...

2. Leonard Hamilton's mean mug.

Sometimes I just want to run over to him and give him a hug.

3. Acme bricks.

Because we try to think that we have something to do with how well the players shoot their free throws.

4. Those people sitting with the trees.

In the same spot every single game.

5. David Nichols' three pointers.

He could shoot from the bathroom and the ball would still go in.

6. Cimarron being mistaken for Renegade.

To clear up any confusion, Cimarron is the mascot horse and Renegade is the live horse.

7. Kiss Cam rejections.

Christ Koumadje isn't the only one blocking shots.

8. Fans finish the lyrics.

It might be extremely off-key, but at least they know the words, right?

9. Majorettes and Golden Girls' performances.

And ignoring the drunk guy next to you saying who he thinks the hottest one is.

10. Bongo cam.

We're just reminding the refs how to call a double dribble.

11. "I wish I could get paid to squeegee the floor!"

We all think it, only a few are lucky enough to earn the prestigious job.

12. Seminole Sound.

The most savage, talented group of musicians.

13. Christ Koumadje's oster moves.

Blocking shots and dunking on 'em, Christ keeps the Tuck turned up.

14. The layup, free throw, and three point challenge.

There's a reason fans aren't on the basketball team.

15. Bench celebrations vs. the drunk guy next to you.

@fsuhoops on Instagram

The most intense competition you'll ever see.

16. Free t-shirts from Madso.

We're all secretly jealous of the people who get them.

17. Having to remind the refs to do their job.

I should be getting paid for this.

18. Dance cam.

Catch me dancing like Ayo for a Moe's gift card.

19. Phil Cofer's high shorts and ankle socks.

@philcofer on Instagram

You'll notice them every game now, if you haven't already.

20. A #NolesWin.

After all, we are 43-3 in our last 46 home games.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
