Whether you're looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas, or coming off the high of fall break, chances are you know how good a reunion feels. Part of the magic of college is that you become infinitely more grateful for the time spent with family and friends back home. Though there are certainly more than ten definitions of how great it feels to be back with those you love, there are ten reasons you know you're having fun that seem to come out above the rest...

1. The hugs are so tight you fear for your lungs.

2. You have the same clothes and shoes as your best friends, even though you never discussed it and haven't seen each other in months.

3. You pack everything you've been planning for the last 2 months into 24 hours.

4. You make sure to visit all of your old places together.

5. You try to share every detail of the last 2 months in just 10 minutes.

6. You finally have someone to tell inside jokes with again.

7. You force them to be a part of things that have nothing to do with them (not like that's anything new).

8. You wish your reunions could include all the ones not here...

9. ...but you can't wait to see them at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

10. You're already making plans for the next time you're together.
