All Niter Shoots for Brighter Take on Y2K

The newly renovated Terp Zone hosted (from left) Suraj Bijjala, Bharath Devarapalli and Dheeraj Lagudu as they played a few rounds of pool at the 2025 All Niter late Friday at the Adele H. Stamp Student Union. This year’s event commemorated the millennium’s first decade: The Stamp was packed until midnight with students having throwback fun dancing to the music of the aughts, cracking up at the Y2K Laff Fest comedy show and making braided friendship bracelets while listening to Lady Gaga's "Poker Face," among other activities.

Devarapalli, who's pursuing a Master of Engineering in cybersecurity, said he and his billiards-playing buds are no strangers to the yearly mega-soiree, but that Friday's festivities marked the "best All Niter we've ever had."
