Think up 3 statements about yourself.

 2 of the statements will be true, and 1 will be something you made up.

 Use one of these two titles:

 “NHC: the best college in the world”

 Or

 “NHC: why you should never study here, ever”

 Include at least two facts and at least two (biased) opinions in your account.

Remember, you are either only showing the good things, or only showing the bad things, and this doesn't have to be based on reality, so you can exaggerate (within reason).
