Although many
people, including
myself, are becoming
obsessed with their
cellphones, they truly
are an amazing tool.
They can be used to
settle an argument about Rome’s
worst emperor, to record a fun video
with your friends, to snap some cool
pictures (and submit them to the
convention photo contest!), to share
your stories with your family and
non-JCLers, and to keep in touch
with all the new people you meet.
Deodorant
This is an essential
for convention.
Between the
sweaty general
assemblies, intense
nerve wracking certamen matches
and just the body doing its thing, we
all sometimes catch ourselves
sweating through our shirts or
being a little smellier than we’d like
to be. With just a little deodorant,
both your shirts and your neighbors
during spirit will be very grateful.
Snacks
No convention
room is complete
without a table full
of food your mom
would probably
not approve of. Everything
crunchy, loud, brightly colored, or
definitely way too sweet is a must.
Maybe think about bringing some
cuties mandarins or apples for a
healthy break.
4 Essentials for
Convention
Historian Lucia Boadas Peña
A Hair Tie
This one is super important for spirit
at GAs. My first few rounds of spirit I
was too naive to know how crucial
this was, but after my first time tying
my hair up and feeling the air touch
my neck, I finally understood what I was missing. When I
I tie my hair back I prevent it from turning into a giant
frizzy mess, I free myself from having to move it out of
my face every time I jump, and I cool myself down.
Overall, hair ties are definitely something to pack for any
JCLer with long hair.
