If you’re a ’21 reading this in the middle of lecture (it’s okay, we won’t tell), look around the room. Chances are, there’s a ... grittier looking student sitting in the back of the room. Whether it’s to get a distrib out of the way or because they changed their major five times and are playing catch up, upperclassmen sometimes take an intro class or two in the latter half of their college career.

So cut them some slack, don’t take their unassigned assigned seat and read what’s probably going on in their head:

1. Walking in late with KAF. It's cool. At least I'm here.

4. I’ll just sit in the back, it’d be rude if I scooch into the front now being this late.

5. Yeah, let’s go with that.
