<p>One question I have had for a VERY long time is: **How did we decide the dates, the days of the month, and the year?** 😭😂</p><p><br/></p><p>Like, how and why did some months get 30 days, some get 31, and then there's one particular month with 28 days, which sometimes becomes 29? HOW?</p><p><br/></p><p>Who exactly sat down one day and decided that February should have 28 days, but 29 days every four years? Who gave them that authority, please? 😭😂</p><p><br/></p><p>And why is time even recorded and arranged in a particular order? Who decided that a year must have 365 days? Is it because of the Earth's orbit around the sun, abi? Is that what it's called? 🌚</p><p><br/></p><p>But then, why can't we just have a certain number of months, with each month having the exact same number of days? Why must we have all these calculations and exceptions? Who created this system, and how did everybody just agree to follow it? 😭</p><p><br/></p><p>And please, people born on February 29, HOW DO YOU PEOPLE DO IT? 😂</p><p><br/></p><p>When do you celebrate your birthdays? Do you celebrate only once every four years, or do you pick another date in the years when February decides not to give you your actual birthday?</p><p><br/></p><p>Because you people grow every year, right? It's not as if your age pauses for three years and then resumes when February 29 comes around. So, what exactly is the arrangement? 😭😭</p><p><br/></p><p>Honestly, the more I think about it, the more questions I have.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because who sat down, figured all these things out, arranged them into a system, and somehow got the rest of the world to follow it?</p><p><br/></p><p>**I need answers, please, because this thing is no longer making sense to me o.** 😭😂</p><p><br/></p>

At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
