It depends on the type of seizure, and whether you frequently have seizures, or if this was the first one. Some seizures aren't even noticed by the person having the seizure, or even by others.
The kind of seizure that most people recognize is called a tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizure. This is a primary generalized seizure where you become unconscious, fall down, and have convulsions of the arms and possibly legs.
With some seizures, including tonic-clonic, afterward you'll feel groggy, and need help from others in finding a place to sleep. You probably won't remember this period.
Ideally, the others around you know what to do. They should time the seizure, keep you from hurting yourself, and make notes of what you do. In certain cases, they ought to call for paramedics. Typically, though, no paramedics or ER visit is needed. They just need to find you a safe place a sleep, and maybe drive you home. Hopefully someone writes down a report of what happened, and how long the seizure lasted. Seizures that last longer than 5 minutes or multiple seizures in a row are potentially dangerous, and require emergency attention.
Write down what you know in a seizure diary. You may need to interview a few people. What happened before, during and after the seizure? Take that diary to your next meeting with your neurologist.

Some partial seizures are associated with an altered level of consciousness, even though the person might appear to be awake and his or her eyes may be open. In this type of seizure, called a complex partial seizure, the affected person is unaware of the people nearby during the event, is not aware of his or her own movements or behaviors during the seizure, and does not remember the seizure after it occurs. When the person having a partial seizure is aware of having a seizure, is aware of his or her surroundings and remembers the event afterward, the seizure is classified as a simple partial seizure.
