Caring About GPA Too Much?

I'm a junior that got a great EB offer back in the spring that I'm super grateful for and happy about. But for some reason I can't stop caring about my grades. I have a 4.0 right now and know that its a stupid thing to go for in college at this point but I keep thinking about getting latin honors/valedictorian. I have been having a lot of fun with friends and have never stayed in to study instead of going out, but it feels like I have a low/moderate amount of baseline anxiety about my grades that is hard to get rid of.

I feel there are a lot of people with this kind of perfectionist mindset on this board so I'm wondering if you have any advice on how to get rid of this, or maybe its something I should just suck it up and go for it because its not that detrimental to my life.
