Character Comparison
Choose a sitcom character whom you feel closely resembles you and write a one-page comparison between yourself and that character.

Basically, think of this as a quick way to introduce yourself to someone, so this person needs an understanding of the character you choose is similar to you. Do not choose a character that is not widely known. Other people won't be able to relate very well or understand the connection between you and "Guy #2 Walking Down Crowded Street" in Ally McBeal.

If you cannot think of a character from a sitcom, you may also want to compare yourself to a political figure, novel character, movie character, athlete, etc. Choose someone people will know and understand a bit about when you compare your personality to the public figure.

You may choose to focus on:

• personality traits - sarcastic and annoying like Dave Letterman, spacy and weird like Phoebe from Friends, etc.
• physical characteristics - frizzy hair like Kramer from Seinfeld, a huge chin like Jay Leno, etc.
• sayings or phrases - "I don't think so, Tim" like Al from Home Improvement, "Yada yada yada" like Elaine from Seinfeld, etc.
• political slogans - like Teddy Roosevelt, "Speak softly and carry a big stick."—or Harry Truman, "The buck stops here."
• talents - good story-writer like Stephen King or three-point shooter like Larry Bird
