"In my free time, I enjoy activities that keep me in shape. My favorite activities are riding dirt bikes, trail running, and rock climbing. When the weather is bad, and I cannot do those activities, I enjoy working on projects around my house, cooking, and reading true-crime novels."

"For the past four years, I have been going to school and working full-time, so my free time has been spent cleaning the house, doing laundry, and grocery shopping. Now that I have completed school, I will enjoy getting outside and riding my mountain bike, kayaking, and playing frisbee golf with some friends. I also enjoy playing my guitar around a bonfire with my girlfriend."
