Raise your hand if you have something called your seat in every classroom you have a class in.
Yeah, many people do. This is a perfectly normal thing to have a seat that you normally sit in for each class period you attend. I know I do and I can tell you exactly which chair I used to sit in during every class I have ever had. (Maybe I shouldn't have said that last part. *shrugs*)
Now, I am not talking about a seat that your professor assigns you. (Because, like, what professor even does that in college? None.) I'm talking about the 'unassigned-assigned seat.' The seat you choose to be yours on the first day of the semester and decide to stay with for whatever reason makes your heart happy. The seat that everyone knows you sit in while they sit in their own unassigned-assigned seats.
This is how to tell if you have a specific, unassigned-assigned seat in a classroom:
1. You have reasons why you like that seat over all the rest of the seats.
"I can't see the board if I sit over there." Or "This seat is the perfect distance from the door in case of a fire or something, duh."
2. You have had multiple different classes in the same room and you still sit in the same seat.
Best friends for life. (Yes, you can be friends with a chair if you want. I won't judge.)
3. Switching seats is not a thing.
"You want me to what?" Definitely not.
4. You get upset when someone sits in your seat.
I mean, this seat is yours.
5. Like, super upset that someone got to class before you and is now sitting in your seat.
Fuming mad right now.
6. And you don't get to sit in your seat, so you look at your seat and glare at the person in it from your not-your-seat seat.
Long distance relationships can be hard.
7. You think about telling that person that they are sitting in your seat.
Because, obviously they should know that you always sit in that seat when you are in that room.
8. You bottle up your anger and tearfully resist telling that seat stealer to get out of your seat.
Tears, upon tears, upon tears...
9. You decide from here on out that you must always run to class in the hopes that you will get to your seat before anyone else.
Just make sure you apologize after class to the people you knocked over in the hallway.
10. You get to your classroom out of breath and you see it...
You can't believe your eyes.
11. "My seat!"
It's empty. It's all yours. Your seat has been waiting just for you.
12. You smile to yourself as you sit down in the best seat in the house.
You can't help but feel accomplished that you made it to your seat before anyone else.
