First of all, ask your doctor why you might be snoring, since people snore for a bunch of different reasons, such as allergies, respiratory problems, sleeping problems, or nasal abnormalities, just to name a few. Once you figure out why you're snoring, you can see about treatments to eliminate or reduce it. One simple thing you might want to try are those nose strips that are sold at most pharmacies. They go over the bridge of your nose and, for some people, lessen snoring.

Okay, now onto the whole humiliation front. If it turns out that you are stuck with your snoring, so be it. Lots of people snore, it's not a big deal (in fact, you're probably far from being the only girl you know who snores! You just haven't spent a night in the same room with her yet). Try to be up-front, off-handed, and/or joke about your snoring, whichever best suits your personal style. If you show your self-confidence and comfort, others will accept you. Sad to say, there will probably always be one mean girl who'll want to point it out just to embarrass you — but if she thinks you're too amused or over it to care, she might back off. Anyway, you'll probably all be so exhausted every night of your trip that you won't be able to keep people up by blasting music, let alone with some gentle zzzzs.
