Living with all the Keener Girls by Alex S.

Through all my time at keeners I've come to appreciate how well all the girls have been getting along. What are the chances that you put 10 girls together for 3 weeks and they all come out friends?  The reality is it that it all depends on how each of them decide to present themselves for the time being, even with as much time as you spend on the water a good deal of time is still spent with your cabin mates. Whether you choose to hang out and socialize at all with the people you live with can totally change your time at keeners, and I believe spending that time the best you can is completely worth it.  If you're not sure how to do so then you're in luck, because today I'm sharing with you my steps to having the best cabin time you can.

step 1- socialize
The first and probably most important step of getting along with your cabin mates is to get to know them, it is pretty much impossible to get along with people really well if you don't know them.  Sometimes getting to know people can be intimidating but don't worry you don't need to ask somebody's life story to get to know them. In fact it could be as little as watching a movie together or playing a game, although my favorite and most affective way to hang out is to have a dance party.

step 2-doing your chores
Chores are a very small part of keener living and due to that they're generally over looked, however doing them is a very important step to keeping a good cabin relationship. Chores are actually very easy if you complete your part, but they become a lot more complex once somebody decides that it wouldn't hurt if I don't do this, and suddenly one person is stuck doing a pile of dishes that aren't theirs.

step 3-be agreeable
It may seem obvious to you but another huge part of getting along with your cabin mates is being agreeable. So if the majority of your would like to watch a movie don't decide that you should watch a different movie. Keep in mind that you all have a common goal when living together and that's getting along so don't work against each other, work together, if it helps create a system, what ever works for  your cabin.

In conclusion like I mentioned earlier its not very hard to get along as long as your trying and though those are only 3 steps they'll probably give you a good start to getting along with your cabin, and soon enough you'll all be friends if you aren't already.
