Recently, I have lost my rank (from #1 to #2) for the first semester. What should I do? I am not infuriated or madly upset; I respect the student who did really well. Yet, is there any strategies for me to regain it for the second semester? This year, I signed up for 2 more classes than usual, which is why I am spread a little thin (my junior year). Any advice???
I need help!
Seriously?? In the grand scheme of things, 1 vs. 2 is like a pimple on an elephant’s butt. Just continue to do your best.
I would agree to continue to do your best and not worry about others. It’s true that it probably wouldn’t matter later, but some people still like being number 1 no matter how many people tell them it doesn’t matter. If you’re one of those people, work hard for it and you’ll get it.
I say this because I am one of those people. No, I won’t die if I am not number 1, but I want it solely for competitive reasons.
edit: There is no advice here we can give you besides continue to do great. There is no magic secret… just your intelligence and/or luck.
