How to Be the Best Roomate at Cheer Camp

Cheerleading Camp is coming up and that means you have to get ready to have a roommate. If you lucked out it means you got in a room with a close friend but if you're in a room with a newbie or a stranger than here's how to survive and be the best roommate you can be! (This pretty much goes to unfamiliar and close friends)

1. Sleeping Arrangements

Most of the time cheer camps are at hotels with two beds and four roommates that means there's gonna be two to a bed. You can choose bed mates a variety of differents way but most people go by who's the most familiar with who. You can also do it by who snores, restless sleepers, size, etc. If you're a restless sleeper and tend to talk or kick it'd be polite to let your bed mate know or take it to the couch.

2. What's Yours is Mine...NOT

It's always nice to borrow your roomies hair ties, straightener, shampoo you know whatever but always make sure to ask. You don't want to use up all of her body wash in one shower. You don't want to eat her favorite fruit snacks. Also make sure that the same goes for you. Asking is always the best because you never know how the person will react.

3. Space

Each person should have their own space. If there's a closet you can set space between clothes with little spaces between the hangers. Make sure everyone has a space for their bags.

4. Keep It Clean

You'll be staying in that one room for the next 3-4 days so you want to make sure it's clean. What my roomies and I do is check for bed bugs before anything, then after that we put our snacks in one bedside drawer for all of us to share or for whoever is willing to share. Make sure each roomie keeps their stuff together and their "space" clean. Clean up crumbs and make your beds.

5. Shhh

Just because you're a morning bird doesn't mean your roomies are. You may want to get up and start curling your hair but your roommates still want a few more minutes of sleep. Always make sure to stay quiet and respectful of your roommates. If it comes down to it and your roommates need to wake up then of course be their alarm clock but you don't want to be noisy in the night.

Make sure to pass these tips over to your squad and your new roommates! If it all works out you'll all leave super close and great friends ready for an awesome cheer season. Good luck and have fun!

Love,
A Cheerleader
