10 Types Of People You See At Winter Jam

From the crazy to the, well, still crazy.

10 Types Of People You See At Winter Jam

Winter Jam is a Christian concert that takes place every Winter. Ten bands travel the nation, playing at many different arenas. General admission is first come, first serve, $10 at the door. Arenas are always packed out the door. There are obviously many different types of people at these events, but here are ten of the types of people you see at Winter Jam.

1. The Super Fan

This person knows every word, to every song, by every band. They passionately sing along to every word and probably bought Jam Nation tickets as soon as they were available. And you know they will be waiting at every table to meet every band possible after the show.


2. The Couple

We all know them. The one that hugs the whole time (seriously, how does one stay connected to another's body for that long?). Their youth leader probably watches them out of the corner of his/her eye the whole time, and you have to wonder if they realize that we're singing about God's amazing love and not their own.

3. The Hostage

This kid is here against his will. Somehow. His mom probably forced him to go, or maybe he was given a free ticket. He doesn't really want to be here, he's not into the music and he anxiously passes the time by playing on his phone.

4. The Fake Fan

They don't really know anything about the bands, or their music, but they're super excited to be there in general. They scream like crazy when Andy Mineo comes near them, but you're pretty sure they've never heard of him before that moment. They probably spend an ton of money on merch, Snapchat a general video of the concert and get as many people to sign autographs as possible. Because, like, those people are pretty much famous.

5. The Enthusiastic Chaperone

They want to be cool, so they rock out to almost every band. They laugh and tell the kids they're crazy for listening to the crazy rock band or the rapper dude. They probably cry during Newsong's set and put their hand in the air a lot.

6. The Metal Head

It's clear that they are only here for Thousand Foot Krutch (or Skillet, or Red, or whatever hard rock band happens to be playing that year). They remain stoic for the other nine bands, but rock out for their favorite. Bonus points for headbanging.

7. The Shutterbug

They are only here to view the concert through their phone camera lens. They are constantly snapping, gramming, streaming, filming and photographing. They have every set saved on their phone, most likely to never be viewed again.

8. The Emotional

Every song is an altar call. They never stop crying. Jesus has changed their life. With every song.

9. The Hipster

Top-nots. Fashion on point. Probably talking about how much they wish Hillsong was here. If you don't know the type, you probably are the type.

10. The Participant

They text every code. They get every free item. They stop at every table, and they cheer for the Liberty University guy. In six months, they'll still be getting messages from the chain numbers they joined on this night.

All of us are different, and some of us have little bits and pieces of these (and others) in us. But all jokes aside, when it all comes down to it, most of us are there for the same reason: to worship our Lord and Savior. And a body of believers coming together like that?

I think it's pretty amazing.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
