You guys might not have noticed, but we tweeted a little bit during THON. While some tweets were the hilarious handiwork of our then-delirious social media manager, we tried to bring you THON from every angle possible, tweeting more than 1,000 times between @OnwardState and @THONwardState.

So, we hope you’ll pardon the shameless self-promotion forthcoming, but we scrolled through our feeds and found the 55 tweets that tell the story of #THON2015, from the beginning (well, even before that) to the grand total.

With that, let’s relive #THON2015:

That Mike Valania was able to make it through THON spending so much time in his suit is downright insane.

Bucci is the man. After THON, he declared THON and Penn State students his stars of the week on Sportscenter. Forget what his colleague says.

Always a smiling face.

THON involves over 15,000 Penn Staters, but what about those who don’t participate? Tell us your stories. http://t.co/4Om8Uk7F0Y — Onward State (@OnwardState) February 21, 2015

We’ll return to that later…

“Absolutely AMAZING! My first THON!” — @SandyB_PSUAD. We all know the feeling, Sandy!

Everyone remembers this feeling, and we all felt it again seeing our endearing athletic director losing her mind on stage.

Good times never seemed so good! https://t.co/rpikCwznEF — Onward State (@OnwardState) February 22, 2015

More than half of Penn State undergrads are not involved with THON. @mkmccleery found out why. http://t.co/djj5GUHwx9

Required reading for any good Penn Stater, I think.
