Freshmen at Large - Cristine Mayer

You know, it seems that before you go to college, people continually seem to remind you to “get involved” and “find your thing.” I figured I’d find one thing and that would be it. I assumed it would be Theta, and then everyone starting talking about FLOs. I had no idea what on earth they were speaking of. But I decided to go out and apply to two. Thankfully, I got into the FLO I wanted: Fish Council. Being linked to Class Councils, I have been able to get involved with traditions such as Maroon Out and E-Walk — activities that I never thought I’d be involved with until I was at least a junior. I’ve even met some of my greatest friends through Fish Council.
Camping out with over 1,000 bicyclists can definitely lead to some bonding. From volleyball games, to yelling at people in the breezeway to buy Maroon Out shirts, to watching Aggie football games together and trying to guess the shapes made by the OU band, I definitely think I’ve made some of my longtime friends. And the older kids in Class Councils are pretty awesome too. What I’m trying to say is that I’m basically obsessed with Fish Council and everybody in it. I’ve found my place in Class Councils and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
