You English people:

I have a paper that I'm working on. I need to tell a story about myself. How do I write it in a way that it's a true story that happened, but it isn't all in past tense?

Write it as if it was happening right now, but include hints that it happened

That makes more sense. Thanks for the help.

Use phrases like "So I says to the guy..." that sound like present tense but are

Why don't you write the story in future tense. That would be entertaining.

I'm not English, and I'm offended by the your use of "you."
