Free time

I usually do nothing in my free time. For example, I just sleep in all day and all night on the weekends. This shows that I am a very lazy person. This also shows that I don't just sleep in the weekends, but after school as well. In addition, sometimes I try to do different things, like read a book, or finish my blanket that I was crocheting, which I highly doubt that I would ever finish. This shows that I have more things that I could be doing other then sleeping all day. This also shows that my laziness gets the best of me and I just tend to be sleeping all the time. In conclusion, I am a very lazy person in general, especially during my free time.

For example, when they are trying to start drama or when they try to get into your business. This shows that when they do things, you would need to be assertive to deal with them. This also shows that you would need to not let them get to you. In addition, if they do not listen to you, then be more up front with them to let them know that you do not like what they are doing. This shows that you are being mature for trying to deal with the situation. This also shows that you need to be calm and to not loose control when your dealing with people like that. In conclusion, if they still don't listen to you, then go for it and tell on them.
