Forgive my spam. It will not let me re-edit my post from before.
Alright, I learned how to do it but I used the edge seeker when using the freehand tool and I was wondering if there's any way I can smooth out the edges on the object that I originally freehanded around (if that makes any sense).
Here's an example.

See how the edges are...rigid and crappy? I was wondering if there's any way I could correct or avoid that and perfectly outline the subject?
Thanks.

But yeah, don't waste time with that, it's crap. Just use the lasso tool itself. It takes more work but the only way to get good results is to do it by hand.
