The Girls Are Considered Outcasts

In “To All the Girls I’ve Rejected,” Jennifer Delahunty Britz struggles with gender equality in admitting college students. Her daughter had been waitlisted. This didn’t make much sense; Maddie was a good student with a good, thorough application. The only problem? She was a female in a pool of too many girls and not enough boys.

Natalie Sterling, a seventeen year old senior at Ross Academy had just won class president and beat her opponent Mike Domski. Mike was the kind of guy that Natalie and her best friend Autumn tried to stay away from. The girls at Ross Academy were known as demeaning and “boy crazy.” One day, during the pep rally a bunch of freshman dressed in trampy clothing and started to dance inappropriately. The leader’s name was Spencer a girl Natalie used to babysit for. The flirty freshman called themselves “Prostitutes” or Ross Academy prostitutes. Not only was Natalie embarrassed and angry by Spencers action but, she was disappointed. When the principal and Ms. Bee the student council head were talking to the girls punishments Natalie barged in. Natalie explained how she wanted to have a lock-in for all the girls in trouble and any others from school who wanted to come, about feminism and women's rights. Ms. Bee and Natalie agreed that it would be a good idea for

“No.” She shook her head, pressing her lips tight as she looked across the table at me. “He didn’t like the food. He didn’t ask about me.”

What are you-all up too?” “Nothing much.” Simone and David walked in. “How’s Angelica?” ask David. “She’s sleeping.” said Marie. “I’m going to go and peep in.” said Simone. “She went to Angelicas room, walked in. Angelica was watching television. “Hey sleepy head, you’re woke.” “Hey Simone, Where’s David?” “He’s up front talking to Momma and Aunt Lori.” “How long you been here?” ask Angelica. “I just got here, Angelica, Momma told me that you’ve been having headaches, Are you okay?” “Yeah, I’m fine, the pain pills Mom gives me, stops it.” “You know I love you right.” “I know, Simone, Is it true?” “Is what true?” “I seen the news this morning, Is Brittany dead?” “Uh-.” “Simone, please, tell me, Is she dead?” Simone sat down next to Angelica.

“Hannah? Hannah! You have a new package in the mail!” Makenzie runs into my house, as she stumbles over my dogs, who are barking at her. “What do you mean my mail? And why were you looking in my mailbox,” I say humorously. Makenzie jumps over the couch, kicking my phone out of my hand, “We are going to Los Angeles!” A few weeks before, Makenzie and I entered a contest to win a free trip to a Justin Bieber concert, in Los Angeles. I open the package, and the first word I read was ‘Congratulations!’ I screamed as I ran to my closet to get my suitcase. Makenzie started to throw random clothes in my bag, and I quickly stopped her. “Why are you taking all the clothes out,” Makenzie said confused. “Don’t you remember who filled out the information with us?” Makenzie’s face dropped as she answered my question. “I told you not to bring Agustin and Jacob to the mall with us, now we have to spend hours on a plane with them, hearing them talk non-stop,” Makenzie confirmed. “I’m sorry, Makenzie, but they are our friends,” I say supportively. I go to call my other friends, telling them the outstanding news.

Toni started to question why they were heading towards Las Vegas. She turned to her aunt and asked why they were heading towards Las Vegas and her aunt replied” We’re not going to yosemite today.” Toni said, “why not tia?” “We’re going to take the long way and go to St. George for a couple of days.” Toni replied “Oh.” Vero said “We’re going to go visit your tio’s aunt and uncle.” “Oh cool and they live in St. George?” “yes.” she replied. They went along their way their first a stop in Las Vegas. They stopped at “best buffet” in all of Las Vegas. In Toni’s opinion that was not the best buffet. She has had way better. All the different aroma of sushi and fish made Toni want to gag. At the buffet they had exatic foods from all over the world but they also had the basics such as mac n cheese, mini sliders, and pizza. Then they left and they were on their way to St. george. About 4 hours later they finally got to Chris’ aunt and uncle's’ house. Toni politely went up to them and greeted them and said “Hello my name is Toni and im Chris’ niece and i will be staying with you the next couple of days.” They

“Sadie, please. I’m not in the mood to handle your sass.” She said more with body language that made it clear she was exhausted. My aunt Edna or “Edie” and I had been arguing over whether we would go on a trip to Wyoming to visit my aunt Carol. I’m pretty set against it because there are only 2 weeks before exams and I could not afford to miss anything. Edie was insisting that we go visit aunt Carol for no good reason. This argument had been going on for weeks, but neither of us gave in. I avoided her as much as possible.

On a chilly, windy morning on the Oregon Coast, I wake up at six to attend the daily camp counselor meeting. Without a sound, I tip toe my way to the door without waking the five girls sleeping in the cabin. I stop by the Undertow Cafe before the meeting. The fresh smell of a hot cup of chai wakes me up for the hectic afternoon that awaits. In the meeting, we talk about today's events and the activities for the girls. As I walk into the dining center, four hundred middle school girl campers await outside. Looking out into the crowd, I think,“Which girls will sit with me for this meal?” or “Will any of the girls think I’m cool enough to sit with?”,

One Saturday I decided to go over to my friend Anne’s house. When I arrived I knocked on her door, Anne's mom, Mrs. Cazzato, answered. “Hi Emma,” Mrs.Cazzato said. “Hi Mrs.Cazzato,” I replied, I was just looking for Anne.” “She’s just out back,” explained Mrs.Cazzato. “Okay,” I responded, “Thank you!” I went around back and Anne was swinging on her swing. “Hi,” I said. “Hi,” she replied. I went over and sat on the swing beside her, Anne asked, “Do you want to go for a walk in the forest?” “Sure,” I said half scared half excited. “I have never been in the forest before,” I explained. “I’ve been in the forest lots of times before and it’s not that bad,” Anne explained.

When I arrived back at the hotel, I opened Skype on my netbook. After a few minutes of loading, my sister’s face appeared. She was so bright and cheery, and I loved her so much. She told me she missed me, and I told her that I wished I could have brought her along. When our conversation ended, I cried. Here I was at an amusement park while my little sister, who had never gone on a ride in her life, was at home. I felt like a spoiled brat. I spent $150 on the trip that could have gone to rent or to my other sister’s college tuition, so I punished myself by eating canned soup for the rest of the week.

Ashton was visiting for a weekend, it was only him. Calum had to stay back and look for Michael, as he had ran off again. I hugged Ashton and looked at him. Ashton got in my car and smiled. I hugged him tightly. “It’s been too long!” I yell and he laugs. “I like the hair, you changed it up a bit since the last time I saw you.” He greeted me, I smiled and shook my hair. I had dyed it blonde and brown. I decided I need a change. “How’s Tate?” Ashton looked at me while I was driving. “He’s on edge because of the baby, but he’s good. Brooklyn?” I smiled and he chuckled. “She’s 4 months,” It was all he needed to say. “You guys are having another fucking baby! Oh my gosh!” I squealed as my car came to a stop. Ashton blushed and felt my stomach. I felt her kicking. “Do you know yet?” He asked and I

Everybody but those freshman had showed up at my party, it stated nearly half an hour ago. I was a little disappointed, a freshmen getting the opportunity and totally letting me down. I was actually humiliated, this couldn’t be any more real. They must not have known who I am because if they did, they would’ve been here an hour before the party started. Before I was done ranting, I saw Ray out of the corner of my eye. He was speaking with three, rather petite girls. I lit up in flames, “Why was he talking to other girls?” I thought. I zoomed over to him and shoved right through the girls.

"DAMN!! THAT 'S A NEW RECORD!" I heard Mike yell, as Massey and I made our way towards him, Poppa called us to go inside. Mike have Poppa a thumbs up and jogged back to the house, I hopped of Massey and put her back in her stall, before leaving I rubbed her mussel and fed her. I jogged back to the house and was met by Lobo and Red, the family dogs, I walked to the living room where Mike, Momma, Poppa, and Aunt Julie sat. I dipped my hat at Aunt Julie and greeted all of them, taking a seat next to Michael. "What 's going on? Why the family meeting?" I asked seriously, Mike laid back on the couch and Poppa cleared his throat, "a family rented out the resort for two months" Poppa says and Momma pats his arm, "that 's bad for the rest of the customers! How are we possibly going to do with the rest of the reservations?" Mike asked, "how much did they pay? And where in hell is Kelsey?" I ask my parents, Kelsey is one of the workers here.

The air is filled with a sweet aroma as another female student walks by. The perfume is strong and people choke and turn their heads when she walks past them. The sound of noisy flip flops coming down the hallway alerts the boy and he rises to greet his friend. When standing, he is about six feet tall and seems to be well muscled. His friend was of much the same description, only the friend is slightly less muscled and his eyes are the color of the sky on a clear day. Girls leaning against the walls and sitting in the chairs in the hallway, stare at the two young men exiting the building in which they wait. The young men pay no attention and
