"Her twentieth year, or her college junior year, for example, is currently ranked as her twenty-second-to-worst, instead of being labeled her best year. This is not a pessimist’s ranking system. Not having to wear the heavy mantle of “best year ever” decreases the pressure and stress on the year and its participant."
