PS extracurriculars

I'm planning on applying for maths at uni, but I am an incredibly lazy person, and haven't done any sports or had a part time job or held any positions of responsibility or anything like that, and my sixth form hasn't had any clubs running this last year due to covid and I haven't been in any outside of school.

When people give advice about personal statements they always say "it's easy to do but don't write too much about your hobbies or extracurriculars as unis don't care", but what if you don't write enough (i.e. nothing) about them???
Universities are recruiting to an academic course not to love island. They don’t care about hobbies (or lack of hobbies)
To add to the above - you could miss out that paragraph and it wouldn't matter, basically. Better to do that than say 'I like to watch TV and go to the cinema' (or whatever)
