I, along with 500 other students, danced in the IFC Dance Marathon this past weekend. It was a weekend I will never forget. But the marathon is not only dancing. I got a chance to see how much behind-the-scene work goes into such a huge event.

I think all the captains, committee members, and morale people did a fantastic job. I imagine it is not so easy to deal with so many delirious people when you yourself are tired of organizing and seeing that things move smoothly.

For those students who want to dance in the marathon but are scared of how their body will react -- do it. You will undoubtedly find it to be one of the most uplifting and gratifying experiences you will have at Penn State.
