It?s almost summer, classy co-eds! Classes and finals are winding down, and everyone?s favorite time of year is right around the corner. Now for some classy co-eds, I?m sure vacation is a part of the equation that is summer break. But vacation costs can add up, especially if you?re paying for everything on your own. So, CL has your solution: whether it?s the cost of a fancy vacation, or you?re just looking to relax, try a staycation from the comforts of your home. Here are five creative ideas for staycations:
1. Camping. It might not be a weekend at the lakehouse in the mountains, but you can definitely turn your backyard into your own campground. Get a few friends together, pitch a tent or two, build a bonfire, and roast hotdogs and s?mores. Check the weather before you plan your campout ? nature often has plans of her own!

2. Turn your bathroom into a spa for the day. A DIY spa will definitely save you the lavish expense and fit your budget. Indulge in some scented bath oils, a manicure kit and a facial scrub. Unwind from your summer job or internship with a long bubble bath and a homemade facial.
3. Host a potluck dinner party. Make some cute invitations and include RSVP cards where party attendees can indicate what dish they are going to bring. Get creative with the dishes you are going to prepare ? maybe try some of these recipes for quinoa. Try something new with your table settings, and make a dinner-appropriate music playlist.
4. Start a book club. If you?re looking for something to make your summer more interesting and educational at the same time, start a book club with some of your friends. Check out these great summer reads and coordinate a calendar of people who will host the book club each month.

5. Go on a ?find the best deals? shopping trip. Think of all the things you?ve been wanting to buy, but haven?t really needed, or haven?t had the time to find a good deal on. Then dedicate a day to seeking out those items. Head to your nearest shopping outlets center.
?I think something fun is to drive to the neighboring town mall or outlet malls,? said Shelly Marie Redmond, CEO and EIC of College Lifestyles(TM). ?Often, I?ll go to the Tanger Outlets and spend a whole day!?
There you have it, classy co-eds! These five fabulous staycations for when life gets a little bit dull while at home for the summer will help you keep it fabulous all season!
