Example: Allen was planning on going out this weekend but then a perfect storm hit. His professor assigned a lot of homework, his parents were coming to visit, and he had to work an extra shift.

Full of Themselves

When someone is “full of themselves,” they are overly confident and arrogant. It is usually used as an insult.
Example: Lucas is so full of himself. He thinks he’s the best basketball player in New York, but he has only been playing for a week!

White as a Sheet

When you are as “white as a sheet,” you are extremely pale, usually because you’re frightened.
Example: During the haunted house, Jackson was as white as a sheet.

To Bundle Up

When you “bundle up,” you dress warmly.
