The ocean’s waves change sometimes they are really rough and other times they are calm. I know in your freshman year you had to have some rough moments or moments when you were really busy and some moments the were just perfect and calm or boring. However you chose to interpret it. Also there are many different fish, sharks, and plants in the ocean. You could say how you met different people or something like that. Like if you met someone you was really mean, big or tough they could be a shark. If you met someone who did you wrong and hurt you that could be a jelly fish.
Hope this helps!!
That kind of ocean is nothing more than rippling water in a paper cup being held by a shaking hand overwhelmed with uncertainty.
it’s all one big body, one big opportunity and it flows freely without any restraints and pummels all that’s in its way, and nothing can really stop the force of the waves that it makes all on its own.

You have to be the ocean and then become the pencil that has lived in it. I have a word for every wave that I have ever seen. I have a friend or an enemy for every living stone underneath and above me. I have a fear for ever storm that has ever tried to drown me. I have a color for every glass ever lost beneath me. I am as unique as anyone whom has every tried to sail upon me. I am an ocean that writes in the sand. It takes a great hand to know the difference between a pencil and the water and the paper and the sand that once was thought a message in a bottle to a far away land?!
When looking at it from the shore it looks majestic and beautiful, but if you were thrown into the middle of it and have to navigate and survive in it, it can be treacherous and difficult.
