First of all, how dare you? I know you, you're the person who stopped coming to class about a month and a half into the class but here you are for test day. You're that person who everyone assumes dropped the course. And now you don't know where to sit on test day because you don't come to class. Ever.
Well, listen up. The rest of us who are here regularly sit in the same spot. EVERY. SINGLE. CLASS. What makes you think that it's okay to come in and sit in any old random seat for test day?
You threw me off, and now I've taken someone else's unassigned assigned seat and thrown them off too. Do you see the chain of reaction here and why it causes an issue? It is rude and inconsiderate of you to walk in here, 15 minutes early for a test in a class that you never actually go to, and sit in someone's seat. It's common knowledge at this point that matching your study/learning conditions to the test environment can help you do better on tests. So WHY would you come in and mess that up for at least an entire row of people?
To help you out, here's what you should've done: sit in the back. The people who sit in the back typically don't care too much about where they sit anyway. If you don't want to come to class, whatever, that's not my business or my concern… until it affects me personally. And when you take my unassigned assigned seat, you're affecting me personally.
Next time, please do me a favor and sit in the back of the class. Don't make me have to ask you to move. Please. I've been in college too long to have to deal with this mess and I can't take it anymore. I go to class and I have my spot, I am begging you to not take it from me, especially on test day.
Sincerely,
A Stressed Student
