It is three in the morning on a Tuesday, and I’m walking toward table eighteen, the one I call home. I pass the waiters, give a brief nod to the  【小题1】  and take my seat. I  【小题2】  the “usual,” water and peanut butter pie. Yes, I’m at an all-night diner.
I start to take out my books,  【小题3】 full well that I will be  【小题4】 on the same page of Socrates that I’ve been on for the better part of the semester. Of course, it’s   【小题5】  —for my group that is. I wait for the empty chairs around me to be   【小题6】  .

For the next couple of hours, we will joke about people we know, talk about books, reflect on the meaning of life, quote movies and  【小题10】 new private jokes. Table number eighteen is our  【小题11】  home.

But that’s not the   【小题16】 . I mean, anyone who has gone to college knows that it’s not only about forcing yourself to wake up at 7:45 A.M.

It is  【小题18】 about finding a little haven where you can create what will be the most important thing in your life—yourself. At a school of thirty-five thousand people, I found a small place that was as   【小题19】 to me as my Social Security number.
Through laughter, tears, learning, growing and the   【小题20】 free ice cream, we found a sanctuary. A place where we could be ourselves.
