THON 2025 is well underway, folks.

From The Fray to Lights Out By 8, THON’s first performances performances killed it. With that being said, now that we are onto the Saturdays and Sundays of the world, there will be a lot of people congregating on the concourse.

Inspired by Dude Perfects stereotype videos that every middle schooler drools over, here are some different types of people you can expect to run into on the concourse.

The Waterhog

Everyone has heard the same advice from their friends and family heading into THON 2025, “STAY HYDRATED.” Well, what those people didn’t know was you have to wait hours to even look at the water fountain or spend all of Mansa Musa’s gold to buy a bottle, just to get a sip.

Every year, there are those people who are the designated water refillers and sit at the station with eight water bottles for their whole section. This year will be no different.

The Zombies

Look, 46 hours is a very long time to be awake, so full respect to those who choose to stay up even when they are not dancers. With that being said, it’s relatively easy to spot those that have not hit the hay yet. Look for shuffling of the feet, drooping eyes, and people making no sense when they talk, and you probably have one.

Speed Walker

This happens in any public setting, but when you are on very little sleep nothing irritates you a little bit more. There is always going to be someone who wants to walk faster than everyone else, pushing and shoving their way through the crowds. THON is no exception.

Talkers

For some reason, every THON some people spend most of their time in the Bryce Jordan Center in the concourse. Always found in the wild in groups of three to four, Talkers can be found having full conversations with their friends anywhere but in the stands. If you see one of these folks, please direct them back to their group in the stands.

The Headphoner

This is not a shot in the slightest, but people do choose to keep noise-canceling headphones on for most of THON. Whether it’s because of a condition, or they just don’t like the constant max volume music coming from the speakers, people will be walking around with their Bose headphones on.
