I think one of my favorite parts about THON is that when the weekend passes, and we all wake to a well-risen sun, whether we are alone, with a friend or a few, we are all thinking about the hours that just passed. Far too often, life is heavied by the constant pressure to always get more, veiling the world about us. THON Weekend elevates life absolute.
Are you a wanna-be politician? Does the idea of getting to play around with $120,000 excite you? Do you have an a wrinkly suite or a collection of repulsive ties? Are you a registered student at Penn State - University Park and free on Wednesday nights from 8-10 p.m.?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, perhaps you should consider running for a position in your student government, the University Park Undergraduate Association.
The Penn State women's basketball team clinched at least a share of the Big Ten regular season title for the first time since 2004 with an 84-66 win over No. 8/11 Ohio State on Monday night. Three Lady Lions had double-doubles in the dominating victory. Penn State plays its final game of the regular season on Sunday against Minnesota.
I'm in love with my GoPro camera. I decided to strap it on one of our own staff members, THON 2012 dancer John Tecce for the final four hours of THON. We got his point of view of the final Slide of Strength and the THON total reveal. Watch the videos after the jump.
While thousands were at the BJC this weekend for THON, a smaller crowd was being wowed by Naturally 7 at the HUB in Alumni Hall on Friday night. The concert was arranged by the Paul Robeson Cultural Center.
Being able to spend the final seven hours of THON on the floor was one of the greatest experiences I will ever have.
