I often catch myself wishing there was a way to turn back time, sit myself down and teach myself some things. Like to not take that class, try harder in that other class, find that person I met too late here earlier, laugh more. It's normal to regret. College is like one long test, of our patience, morals, endurance and sense of humor. It's inevitable, and probably necessary, that we fail, make dumb decisions and then pick ourselves up, change course, realize important things about ourselves.

International students comprise about 8 percent of our student body. I attended an international high school, but as an American, I'm still part of the 92 percent. As such, I quickly accepted that I would forever butcher any language besides English and gave up hope of finding other Swiss-Americans to help form a chocolate appreciation club.

Around this time every year, whisperings of sorority and fraternity rush infiltrate conversations on Collis Porch, at Greek house meetings, on First Floor Berry and in sophomore dorm rooms. This informal, often gossipy conversation is emblematic of the lack of transparency inherent in the rush process.

Remember when Facebook used to count the number of posts on your wall? Don't pretend I know you remember. And I'm guessing you were weirdly obsessed with that number and how your number compared to your friends' numbers. Thank God they got rid of that feature we're all much saner without it.

Geography lesson: Dartmouth sits in the quaint town of Hanover in the small but fierce state of New Hampshire, fondly referred to as "the middle of nowhere." Yes, you have agreed to spend the next four years of your life nestled in between the White Mountains and the Connecticut River at the crossroads of liberal arts and the Appalachian Trail. Temperatures here range from the high 90s at the peak of the summer months to a few dozen degrees below zero in January and February, but don't let the extreme weather conditions and isolation from civilization get you down CNN and Money Magazine have both named Hanover the second best place to live in America.

During her 2008 Harvard Commencement address, J.K. Rowling told the graduating seniors, "Your intelligence, your capacity for hard work, the education you have earned and received give you unique status and unique responsibilities that is your privilege and your burden." Because this woman single-handedly rose from poverty to create literature that has changed the way most of us think about books, life and imagination, I think we should give her words a second thought.

It may seem ironic that I'm writing an article on how best to live your sophomore Summer when I've never actually lived a sophomore Summer. But in the context of this article faithfully based on the precedent of millions of nutrition magazines the irony fits. I would bet my life savings that half the writers for Men's Health or Shape have never practiced "balanced dieting" in their lives, instead opting for extreme dieting or other well-worn paths to appearing healthy. So this makes me feel less like a fraud. Also, I fully intend to practice what I preach.

Unlike other big weekends, Green Key has no major decades-old traditions - the weekend has evolved immensely since its days of "imported" female students and chariot racing.
