School is out and summer is in. Which may mean lots of fun with friends, work, and some times when you're bored out of your mind. A month into summer, doing the same thing everyday gets boring, but activities cost money, which a lot of college students don't have, so here are cheap activities for summertime.

6. DIY drinks

Drinks at bars are SO expensive. After a few drinks you can really rack up a high tab. However, with a trip to the grocery store and a few recipes, you're in for a fun and boozy night. There are endless possibilities for what you and your friends can create. The day gets even better when there is a pool or bonfire to lounge next to.

5. Picnics

Going out to eat is fun, but it adds up. After food, drink, and tip, going out to eat can easily rack up to $15 or more. Grabbing a couple of friends and doing a picnic is fun, easy, and cheap. You can each buy a few things from the store or make use of what is in your pantry at home (thank you parents for free food) and save lots of $$$.

4. Go to a public beach

Gas and parking is what will make a beach day super expensive. Without unnecessary costs of drinks and food, a beach day is super fun and cheap. Split costs with a couple of friends and your day can easily cost under $10 each.

3. Rent an Airbnb

Who doesn't love a weekend trip? Other than our bank accounts. Renting an airbnb on a small and secluded lake is the perfect way to spend a relaxing summer weekend. Many places can accommodate quite a few people so splitting the cost of gas, airbnb, and food makes this trip way cheaper than paying for airfare and a hotel.

2. Bonfire

A bonfire is a perfect way to spend a summer night. Grab a group of friends, a backyard, and a fire pit and you're set to go. S'mores essentials are usually on sale during summer which makes for a cheap and fun night for everyone.

1. Movie Night

A movie night is the perfect way to catch up with friends that you haven't seen in a while. Some wine, chocolate, snacks, and comfy pjs are all you need for a fun night.
