In today's world, access to sexual health and wellness products is more important than ever. When it comes to emergency contraceptive drugs (commonly known by the brand name Plan-B), time is of the essence when it comes to proper and effective use, not to mention more affordable costs and availability! Fortunately, more and more colleges are taking steps in the right direction with an ultimate game changing installation— a vending machine that offers the morning-after pill.

Yup, I'll repeat that: Vending machines that dispense generic forms of Plan B, among other wellness products, do exist! In fact, Shippensburg University became one of the first colleges in the country to offer Plan B back in 2012, the New York Times reports, and since then, institutions such as the University of California, Santa Barbara and the University of California, Davis, have joined the ranks. 

So, here is everything you need to know about these magical machines.

First off, they don't only dispense the morning-after pill. Stanford University made headlines after installing their own wellness vending machines this month, offering not only generic forms of Plan B, but also pregnancy tests, feminine hygiene products, Advil, Claritin, and other necessary products, according to the Times. Because how many times have you needed these products but couldn't make it to the store, amiright? 

The morning-after pill is most effective when taken within 24 hours after unprotected sex, so easy access to the pill was a huge reason for the installation of these machines. Drugstores often up-charge the product for anywhere around $40 for generic brands to $50 dollars for the brand Plan B, the Times reports, and students have often struggled to even find them on the shelves at most drugstores. And that's even if the students made it to the drugstore, as it's easy to feel embarrassed, worried and apprehensive about purchasing the pill (which can interfere with taking it in time for it to be the most effective).   

Lauren Schoenthaler, senior associate vice provost for Institutional Equity & Access at Stanford told the Standford Daily that she was super excited by the idea of offering these resources to students. 

“We always want to be responsive to the needs of students,” Schoenthaler wrote in a statement to the Daily. “At long last, I am happy to see the student leaders’ efforts realized, and I hope that the machine serves the needs of our student community.”

Parteek Singh, a recent graduate of U.C. Davis, really pushed for these types of machines to be installed on campus. And now? He said that he's heard from people from over 30 schools who would like to bring these machines to their own campuses. 

"This will be big," says Singh. "It's just the beginning."

It's certainly a breath of fresh air that more and more students are pushing for accessible sexual health and wellness solutions on their campus. Everyone should be able to access these essential products without feeling embarrassed or at a loss for resources!

It's 2017, and by now we all know that everyone from Beyonce to your first year roommate retouches their photos. Whether its a worldwide fashion campaign or an Instagram photo with under 20 likes, it's now unheard of for a photo not to be retouched in some capacity. The editing of photos, especially in the media and on social platforms have drastically changed today’s beauty standards… and not in a positive way. However, some companies and change-makers are fighting back, sick of a society where natural things like body hair, acne, scars, cellulite, fat and blemishes are considered a taboo.

Getty Images iStock is the latest company to get on board the anti-photoshop train. USA Today reports that the stock image giant has recently emailed contributors, requesting "that you do not submit to us any creative content depicting models whose body shapes have been retouched to make them look thinner or larger.” This is a great step forward in the fight against the distorted way that the media currently approaches body shape, and is a step in the right direction in ensuring that real bodies are shown on a variety of platforms.

However, there are a few issues with this to be noted. The first, and the most obvious, is that it still does not encourage body diversity, and still gives contributors the option to only use a model with a certain “look,” if they so choose. While the models may not have photoshopped bodies, their natural bodies still may comply with the current beauty standards, which are generally not size-inclusive. The second troubling issue is that the fight is currently only against the photoshopping of model’s bodies. The email went on to specify "other changes made to models like a change of hair color, nose shape, retouching of skin or blemishes, etc., are outside the scope of this new law, and are therefore still acceptable.” While I applaud the company for fighting against an unrealistic body image, it is still allowing for an unrealistic, edited ~beauty standard~ to still take place. 

Getty sent a statement to i-D, explaining their actions behind their recent request “As a leader in visual communications, Getty Images upholds the responsibility to ensure accurate and authentic visual representation. Our perceptions of what is possible are often shaped by what we see: positive imagery can have direct impact on fighting stereotypes, creating tolerance, and empowering communities to feel represented in society. That's why over the last several years, Getty Images has made a concerted effort to change the way women and other marginalized communities are represented in media and advertising.”

While Getty and their recent rule, has some flaws, I commend the company for taking a huge step in the right direction. With such a large collection of stock photos and contributors, they are sure to make a huge difference!

No matter your zodiac sign, having sex for the first time is something that you will remember for the rest of your life. From renting out a hotel to having sex after prom, losing your virginity is going to be exciting and special. Here is how you will lose it according to your zodiac sign:

Aries:

If you are an Aries, it is highly likely that you are adventurous, energetic, courageous and enthusiastic when it comes to sex. Because of this, you will lose your virginity pretty spontaneously. Whether that is on spring break with a cutie from the hotel or with your prom date, having sex is not something that you want to plan. You want it to happen naturally and randomly and therefore it is going to be incredibly exciting either way.

Taurus:

As a Taurus woman, you are always patient, reliable, persistent and determined. With these traits, you will probably lose your virginity to a long-term lover. It will be amazing with candles, music and a set of lingerie. Even though you may have to wait for the right moment, you don’t care as long as it is absolutely perfect.

Gemini:

Gemini women are known for being witty, youthful, eloquent and lively in the bedroom.  Because of these traits, you will most likely lose your virginity to a summer love. You will spend the summer falling for each other, much like Liam and Miley in The Last Song and by the time August comes around, you find the perfect spot on the beach to end the summer with a bang. Literally. For Sarah*, a Gemini at High Point University, that is exactly what happened to her. "I met John* while I was working at a summer camp a few summers ago and I fell hard," she says. "We were inseparable but we both knew that it wouldn't work past the summer. So on the second to last night, we went out to stargaze and it just happened. It was romantic and perfect and couldn't have been any more spontaneous." 

Cancer:

Cancer women are, more often than not, emotional, intuitive, imaginative and sympathetic in bed. Although losing your virginity is not something you take lightly, you won’t plan it. It will happen with someone you love very much and it will be on a night where your emotions are flying. Maybe you just won an award or your SO is going off to college—either way, it will be passionate and intense.

Leo:

Leo women are generous, warm-hearted, faithful and creative when it comes to sex. This means that you will probably lose your virginity after months of planning—but your partner will never know all the work you put into it. Whether that means renting a hotel room on your anniversary and surprising your SO, or laying down thousands of red roses before your bae comes over, everything will be super fun and exciting. Emily*, a Leo at Northwestern University, said that it took her two years with her partner before she lost her virginity. "I knew I was ready and loved him but I had to make sure it was really the best idea. I wanted it to be perfect and that meant everything from where, when, and what I was wearing."

Virgo:

Virgo women are modest, diligent, intelligent and meticulous in the bedroom. So when it comes to losing your virginity, this is a decision you have not made quickly. You have weighed the pros and the cons and made sure that your partner is the absolute right person you want to have your first time with. It will be in your childhood bedroom and you will make sure that your parents are out of town and that you have 50 different kinds of condoms ready. Better safe than sorry for a Virgo.

Libra:

Libra women are romantic, idealistic, sociable and charming. This means that for losing your virginity, it may not be someone that you ever thought you would have sex with. But nonetheless, it’ll be perfect. You don’t want it to be rushed so you make sure to do it in a place that is a bit untraditional, like an empty house or a park (just be sure no one is around!). You know that if you were at your house, your parents might come home and that is not a situation you want to deal with. So you plan ahead and think through every possible option.

Scorpio:

Scorpio women are determined, powerful, emotional and exciting. Because of these traits, you will most likely lose your virginity without planning ahead of time. Much like Blair Waldorf who lost her virginity in the back of a limo, you will lose it in a way that you will remember for the rest of your life, no matter how crazy it may seem in the moment. Jackie*, a Scorpio at Syracuse University, actually had a similar experience to Blair that she will never forget. "I met this guy at the grocery store and the moment I saw him there was a spark," she says. "I was 19 and a virgin but there was just something about him that I knew I wanted. We walked out of the store together and did it right in his car. We dated for three years after that moment." So like Jackie, it could be in a car, or it could be on a Ferris wheel, but wherever the place, it will be absolutely incredible.

Sagittarius:

Sagittarius women are incredibly optimistic, philosophical, straightforward and funny all the time. You will lose your virginity with one of your closest friends and loves. It will be romantic yet hilarious because both of you do not know what you are doing yet—but it will be mind-blowing. It will be one of the best experiences of your life because you are having fun with someone you love.

Capricorn:

Capricorns are idealistic, ambitious, practical and reserved, even during sex. This means that you will most likely speak with your mother ahead of time to talk about sex to get her advice. Then when the moment is right, candles will be lit and it will be slow and beautiful. You do not want to rush it because you want to make sure you are doing everything right. For Laura*, a Capricorn at the University of Rochester, that is exactly what she did. "I was dating my SO for a year and a half and I knew that I was ready to have sex. So I talked to my mom about it a few times before it actually happened. Afterwards, I felt so comfortable because I knew that what I was doing was healthy and normal."

Aquarius:

Aquarius women are friendly, loyal, inventive and independent. This means that you will probably lose your virginity to someone you do not know that well, but still are 100 percent sure that you want to do it. To you, sex is a way to pleasure yourself and not about making the other person happy. You know what you like and will help your partner accomplish those things. 

Pisces:

Pisces women are sensitive, selfless, imaginative and compassionate.  With these traits, you will probably lose your virginity while you are traveling around the world. You fall in love fast and hard and want to make sex a thing to remember forever. Even if you won’t ever see your partner again, you will remember that moment for the rest of your life.

Whether you are a Cancer or a Scorpio, losing your virginity is a big moment in your life. From a candlelit room to the back of a car, it will be special no doubt because you are ready for it. When you look back at having sex for the first time, you will know that it was perfect for you.

Thanks to how often the Riverdale cast appears on each others' social media, we always get a pretty good look at Cole Sprouse's latest antics. Camilla Mendes recently posted a video where Cole is pretending to be a beauty blogger, and the voice over done by co-star Lili Reinhart is everything. 

SO HILARIOUS...and maybe a little too accurate? Cole is clearly invested in the bit, but the best part is when Lili goes “Oh, under my eyes apparently. What am I doing? I’m crazy! Oh my god!” I think this just made my whole year.

Is there a mom cooler than Beyoncé? Let’s be honest, we all want to trade places with Blue Ivy for a day. Queen Bey recently commemorated her love for her three children in a new tattoo she showed off on Instagram earlier this week.

Our guess is that the three vertical dots are on her ring finger are for Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir. Brb while I go melt, and also steal this idea for my children one day. 

Now that Rachel Lindsay has found her own happily ever after, you'd think we'd be done talking about her time on Nick Viall's season of The Bachelor. But this is reality TV, where drama never seems to end.

Recently, Danielle Lombard, who was also on Nick's season, held a Reddit AMA during which she hinted at potential beef between Rachel and Vanessa Grimaldi—who split from Viall last month—while they were in the Bachelor mansion. "Vanessa called Rachel something that was extremely derogatory. From what I heard it was bad. Vanessa had to be separated for the rest of the show," Danielle said. 

Instead of letting someone else spill the details for her, Rachel graciously responded in an interview with ET. "Being in the Bachelor mansion is a true test of your character," Lindsay said. "It's a high-stress, low-sleep situation, and I learned all I needed to know about Vanessa during that time." Do tell, Rachel. Do tell. 

"Vanessa told me that I used 'aggressive' tones with her, and I was very upset by that. There are so many stereotypes placed on African-American women," Rachel said. "She called me a 'bully', and for her to use that phrase was offensive to me. She had no examples to match it."

Rachel also brought up that with Vanessa's profession, you'd think she would be more aware of what she said. "I also felt as a special education teacher who works with children, she was using the word frivolously," Lindsay said. Rachel has never been shy speaking out about issues she thinks warrant attention, and this was no exception.

Rachel said she tried to be the bigger person, but after Vanessa persisted in criticizing her character, Rachel asked the producers to keep them separate. "She told me, 'No, you're a bully, and I told Nick that'," Lindsay said. "I told Nick 'I'm going to let bygones be bygones.'" If Rachel is telling the truth, based on how the two addressed the situation with Nick, Rachel seems to have taken the more mature route.  

Now that we've got all of the tea, let's hope we can all shift our focus to the new season of The Bachelor. 

On Thursday, Julia Louis-Dreyfus bravely shared on Twitter that she's been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Her statement read, "1 in 8 women get breast cancer. Today, I'm the one. The good news is that I have the most glorious group of supportive and caring family and friends, and fantastic insurance through my union. The bad news is that not all women are so lucky, so let's fight all cancers and make universal health care a reality."

Since her announcement, many high-profile figures have shown their support. Former Vice President Joe Biden is among those who reached out to the Veep actress. Biden tweeted a picture of him and Louis-Dreyfus with the caption, "We Veeps stick together. Jill and I, and all of the Bidens, are with you, Julia."

Throughout his political career, Biden has advocated for increased resources for cancer research and care, and he's long offered his political and personal support to those suffering from the disease. Biden lost his son Beau to brain cancer in 2015, making his work all the more personal. 

After leaving office, Biden continued to fight the good fight with the Biden Cancer Initiative. At SXSW 2017, the former VP said, "The only bipartisan thing left in America is the fight against cancer."

Biden's not the only major political figure showing Louis-Dreyfus some love. Hillary Clinton also tweeted Julia her support and applauded her courage. "Julia, you're in our thoughts and our hearts," she wrote. "Inspired but not surprised to see you using your platform for good in this difficult moment."

Julia has a fight ahead of her, but at least she knows she's got some heavy hitters in her corner.

Modern Family's Ariel Winter started school at UCLA on Thursday, and of course, the paparazzi had to go and mess it up right out of the gate. The young star complained on Twitter that the paps, as per usual, invaded her personal space and ruined her first day of school. 

"Well the paparazzi just successfully ruined my first day of school. Thanks," she wrote.

Winter has aired her grievances about tabloids and paparazzi in the past, making it perfectly clear she does not want to be followed around while she's just trying to live her day-to-day life. Just a few weeks ago on Instagram, she wrote, "I am not trying to be pap'd everywhere I go, I am literally just LIVING and unfortunately, I can't do that without paparazzi following me around everyday." Sounds like they still haven't gotten the memo.

Ariel told UCLA's school newspaper, theDaily Bruin, she's going to school to plan ahead for the unpredictable future. "The entertainment industry for actors is never guaranteed," Winter said. "I could be on a show today, and then—once the show ends—never work again. For me, it was very important to have knowledge in a different field."

I applaud the starlet for empowering herself with education. Welcome to the collegiette community, Ariel! I hope the rest of your experience at UCLA is better than your first day.

Solo travel for women is becoming more and more normal. Why wait around for a companion or group when you can explore the world by yourself? As a millennial woman, there are many things that I want to do and see in the world so why should I wait for others to jump on the bandwagon?

From the South American streets to the beaches of France, I have solo traveled around the world and personally, I would say that solo traveling is my favorite type of travel. While solo traveling, I learned various things about myself and the world around me and I’m here to enlighten all my fellow women out there why traveling alone is the way to go.

1. The sky is the limit

When you travel by yourself, you can go wherever, whenever and for however long you want. I have found that when traveling with a group of friends, family or significant other, there are always some compromises you have to make on your trip. Solo travel allows you to focus on doing the activities you enjoy and doing them at your own pace.

2. You make the rules

When traveling alone, you create your own schedule. You wake up when you want, you go to bed whenever you want. One day, you might want to eat your way through the city and another day, you want to enjoy a day by the beach. If you want to spend a whole day napping, do it! Because you are alone, you’re allowed to change up the plan as much as you want.

3. Immerse yourself in culture

Solo traveling forces you to experience your surroundings in the best way. I found that while roaming the streets of Colombia solo, I could emerge myself in the culture. Without having another person there, I could notice the smaller, more intimate things. I listened to the street music, smelled the aroma of fresh food and enjoyed the scenery. Having the peace and tranquility of only worrying about myself allowed me to enjoy the culture.

After several weeks of heightened criticism and scandal surrounding his use of private charter and military flights for government trips, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price has resigned. According to the Washington Post, President Donald Trump accepted Price's resignation on Friday afternoon following reports that he was weighing his options of firing Price over the travel scandal. 

"He's a very fine man, but we're going to make a decision sometime tonight,” Trump told reporters while heading to his golf club in Bedminster, N.J. on Friday afternoon, according to WaPo. “I certainly don't like the optics. I'm not happy, I can tell you that. I'm not happy.”

This comes after Price said earlier in the week that he would pay back the government to the tune of more than $50,000 to cover some of the flights (the $51,887.31 check would reportedly cover the costs of him flying charter, but not so much the costs of his staff.)

While the "optics" were what Trump had issue with this time around, this isn't the first time Price's job was on the chopping block. Trump had previously joked (in a decidedly unjoke-y way during that bananas Boy Scouts speech) that he would fire Price if he didn't manage to get a GOP healthcare bill/Obamacare repeal off the ground. 

“He better get the votes,” Trump said, referring to Price. “Otherwise I will say, Tom, you're fired.”

Price joins a pretty hefty list of former members of the Trump team that have departed and/or been fired by POTUS, including Sean Spicer, Anthony Scaramucci, Steve Bannon, Reince Priebus, James Comey, Michael Flynn and more, according to Business Insider. 

While it's yet to be determined who will fill Price's seat as Secretary of Health and Human services, odds are they will most definitely be flying in Business class or Coach. 

Transitioning from seeing your best friend every day to seeing them every few months can take a huge toll on the bond that you thought would last a lifetime. You thought that your best friend, the go-to-gal for any juicy updates in your life, would be your pal for many more years. Surely, if your bond was strong enough to withstand boyfriend drama and going to different colleges, you’d be able to make it through a rough patch, right? Maybe.

Just one all-too-familiar example of friendship woes is the high school to college transition. For many college students, the transition from high school to college also includes the distancing of friends you thought would be there for a lifetime. However, having friend troubles can be difficult at any age due to a variety of reasons. In fact, many girls, as you will soon read about, experience some variation of losing friends throughout their young adult life.  Maybe it’s right after high school, college graduation, or during the busy school months. Here’s how to deal and understand why this might be happening.

1. Understand that it's okay when people change

Our society seems to treasure relationships that have withstood the test of time. Usually, we find that the longer people have been friends, the closer they are. And while time may sometimes be a good measure for the strength of a relationship, at other times, it’s completely arbitrary. Do you still talk to your “best friend” from middle school? If so, that’s great. If not, you’re not alone.

Relationships that begin when you’re relatively young must endure changes that you and your friend experience as you develop. That’s great because you have a chance to grow out of your awkward stage and develop your core values. Maybe you were wild in high school and super excited to go to every social event, but you’ve buckled down to get a degree in college and your friend doesn’t seem to understand. These differences often become even more clear in college.

Lindsey*, a senior from Siena College, realized that time apart between her and her friend had caused a shift in the dynamic they usually had. “I think the distance has happened because she had a lifestyle stabilized here while I'm still sorting out what my post-grad life will be. I've always had a clear idea of what career I'd like and she has been less confident in her future career. I think the distance has happened because, at the moment, I'm very independent and more focused on getting a full-time job I enjoy and less concerned about finding a boyfriend right now,” she says.

Lindsey and her friend simply grew apart, and that’s perfectly okay. That doesn’t mean it was anyone’s fault—there’s no one to blame. Recognizing that you and your friend are no longer on the same path is mature.

2. Celebrate your differences

Perhaps you enjoy partying and your friend prefers having chill movie nights. Or maybe your friend seems to constantly jump from relationship to relationship while you enjoy being single. Possibly, while you’ve gone to art school, your friend is a chemistry major and doesn’t seem to “get it.”

Opposites can make the best combinations, but the differences can also wedge a divide in your deep bond. Someone you once thought you knew and cherished suddenly seems like a stranger. Over time, you’ve each developed into someone with normal differences. These differences can include introversion/extroversion, relationship preferences, optimism/pessimism, and other character traits. There’s nothing wrong with having different opinions than your friend, but it’s important to live your life on your own accord, not because you want to be agreeable 100 percent of the time.

Amber*, a sophomore at the University of Michigan, experienced a difference in goals that impacted her friendship firsthand. “I think a lot of the time it has to do with the goals you have for yourself. The primary focus in my life is my schoolwork and grades, whereas my high school best friend would say that her biggest goal is marrying her current boyfriend—great for her, but I can't imagine having that mindset. We got along really well in high school, but since I got to college, it's been really hard to relate to her, especially now that I'm surrounded by people who have the same goals as me. I still enjoy spending time with her in a fun goofy way (occasional wine nights and stuff like that) but I don't feel like I can have a serious conversation anymore because we don't have the same goals and worldview.”

Amber hit the nail right on the head as she explained why her friendship changed. Instead of blaming her friend for not having the same values as her, she recognizes their differences as both valid. She found friends whose values are more in line with hers and maintains contact with her friend who still means a lot to her, but can’t relate with anymore.

3. Recognize toxic friends

While the above examples are friends that recognized their difference in core values and adjusted their relationship accordingly, many times distance comes with conflict. There’s a high probability that someone’s feelings will get hurt when two people transition from being close friends to only acquaintances. Friends that evolve into entirely different people with opposing values can lose sight of why they were friends in the first place due to hostile confrontations.

Maybe you’re jealous that new relationships are taking quality time with your BFF that used to be dedicated to you. Perhaps you can’t get over high school fights, rude comments or how someone can’t own up to their mistakes. It happens to more of us than you think. You’ll realize that too much damage has been done to salvage the bond that was once great. Pride gets in the way, and it seems easier to make new friends than to decontaminate a toxic relationship. You’re not selfish for thinking it, just be mature enough to admit your part in ending the friendship and apologize when necessary. Maturity is a huge component of this transition—without it, conflict can cause a lot of drawn-out hardship.

Sarah*, a sophomore at Lehigh University, experienced a toxic friendship that resulted in her ceasing communication with her high school friends. “One day we were graduating together and the next, we were no longer speaking. As soon as we didn’t have an excuse to see each other every day (school), we stopped. There were a lot of conflicts that led up to that moment, some which were definitely my fault, and I hope my ex-best friends realize I take full responsibility. However, being entirely cut from the friend group without any warning made me wary of creating any new bonds and made me scared to trust anyone. I miss my friends and I hope they miss me back, but sometimes you just have to let go.”

Sarah’s testimony of recognizing her own toxicity speaks volumes of her maturity now. She is also conscious that moving on sometimes means letting go, as painful as that can be.

4. How to bridge the divide

Perhaps you've read the information above and relate, but you know that this distance is only a blimp in the relationship. You guys have way too much history, and you're frankly not willing to let go anytime soon. It may be extremely scary to bring up the distance you've been feeling especially if you haven't had any obvious fights, but chances are that they're feeling that same distance as well. Someone just needs to bring it up first! A good way to do this is by asking to meet up or hang out perhaps in a cafe you both love. Be open-minded when asking how they've been feeling, and be sure to communicate your feelings without accusing them. It's okay to be direct and honest, but if someone feels as though they're being attacked, they will most likely retaliate. This conversation should not be about who is right or wrong, but a way for you to both see how the other person is feeling and how you should move forward with this newfound knowledge.

Many scenarios and conflict types were introduced above, but we want everyone to understand that friendship troubles come in all shapes and sizes. It’s completely normal to want to distance yourself from someone you don’t relate to anymore. By the same token, we hope you’ll understand why distancing needs to occur at all. As painful friendship break-ups can be, we know you can get through it and use your wisdom to foster meaningful relationships in the future. Good luck!

We’ve all heard it before. Athleisure is this year’s fashion fad, and there are a million ways to wear the trend. From long, loose layers to crazy printed leggings, athleisure combines the comfort and ease of sportswear with the style and fit of your favorite ready-to-wear pieces. If you’re new to the athleisure concept, and you’d really like to achieve a look that’s more Kendall Jenner than Britney circa 1990, we’ve got plenty of inspiration for you to get started. Most importantly, athleisure should suit your personality and lifestyle, so no matter what the stars have in store for your busy life, there’s an outfit to match. 

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

You’ve got a creative mind that reflects in your cool, casual aesthetic. Your wardrobe contains a mix of bold prints and chic, body-hugging cuts because you’re not afraid to show off that figure. Give athleisure a go with a matching jacket and legging set in a vibrant print. At the gym, all you need is a sports bra, but bring a tank top along to throw on after for a day of errands, shopping or exploring. 

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Your favorite piece of clothing is most likely that soft, worn-in pair of blue jeans you’ve had since high school, and you’d much rather feel comfortable than constricted. You’re probably already inclined to jump on the athleisure bandwagon, but you can ease into the trend by pairing those well-loved jeans with a loose tee and a modern varsity jacket. Slip on some sneakers and you’ve got a versatile look that’s functional and fabulous.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Geminis don’t like to be pinned down to one type of look. You’ve got a style that’s all your own, and you favor eclectic mixes of prints, colors, and textures. Luckily, athleisure should be fun and definitely not fussy, so you can easily incorporate some sporty pieces into your wardrobe. Pair a boxy tee with a classic mini skirt and accessorize with funky sneakers, printed laces, and a metallic bag. Geminis love their accessories, so go big and have fun!

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

The Cancer girl is all about the classics. You like comfortable, versatile pieces that you can mix and match with a lot of other things in your wardrobe. Invest in a couple key athleisure garments that can be worn a number of ways, like a long, knit sweater and full-length black leggings.  A basic tank, printed tee or crop top are all great options to wear underneath the cozy topper. 

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

The Leo lady is confident, fierce and always colorful. Your buoyant personality translates perfectly to athleisure, where you can go all out with bold prints and bright colors. To prevent your look from becoming too clown-like, pick one piece to be the focal point of the outfit. A pair of vibrant leggings is a great option and paired with a relaxed hoodie, you’ll be the epitome of casual-cool. 

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

You know how to get in touch with your feminine side, but as a Virgo, you also appreciate a bit of edginess in your wardrobe. Classic cuts and neutral colors are amped up with luxe fabrics and metallic details. For a Virgo-worthy athleisure look, mix classically athletic pieces like a sweatshirt or jersey with leather, denim, and other cool-girl favorites. Keep the fit feminine and chic with a crop top or jacket that highlights the waist and curve-hugging jeans. 

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

You’re a master of mixing, and you enjoy combining masculine and feminine aesthetics in addition to prints, colors, and textures. A boxy skirt and basic tee shirt blend the best of the feminine form with the sportiness of menswear. Slip-on sneakers complete the look while a simple cross-body bag makes for easy, on-the-go living. Make one garment, like the skirt in this example, the focal point of the look by choosing an all-over print. The key is to balance your proportions with a fitted waist and flared a-line cut. 

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Your look is focused, polished and always put-together. While everyone else may envy your easy-breezy style, you know that that the key is picking tailored, classic cuts in black, white and neutrals. Maintain your hint of edginess with sporty joggers and chunky heels, but take the look to true fashionista territory with a timeless black blazer. It’s a look that as comfortable to wear as it is put together, but you’ll still dazzle the most finicky fashion maven with your elegance and flair. 

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

You favor classic cuts, a figure-hugging fit and subtle prints. Athleisure blends with structured sophistication in this take on the modern pantsuit. The Sagittarius girl doesn’t take herself too seriously, and this outfit proves that style doesn’t have to be stuffy. Pick a matching jogger and jacket set to pair with a black tee and sandals for day or pointy-toe heels for a night out. It’s comfy, versatile and completely effortless. 

Capricorn (December 22  - January 19)

You like to keep things sleek and sophisticated, and classic cuts and streamlined fits are your jam. You may have once cringed at the thought of athleisure, but now you know that it goes far beyond sweatpants and dirty sneakers. Try pairing those trendy ripped jeans with sporty slip-ons, a deep V-neck tee and a long-boxy coat that will take any look from daytime cool to evening chic. For the Capricorn, it’s all about versatile layering for a mix and match wardrobe that’s always accessible, so look for sportswear pieces in a variety of cuts and colors. 

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Your signature look is fun and flirty, and you dress to make yourself happy, no one else. When it comes to athleisure, you can maintain your flirty flair with a mini skirt and crop top in sportswear inspired fabrics. Pair the look with tennis shoes for comfort and a chic printed coat for a touch of class. A structured bag is the perfect accessory, and you look for a rich, textured material like leather to add a bit of interest and sophistication to an otherwise relaxed look.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

You are a true minimalist, and you appreciate style in its simplest form. Keep things clean and chic with a black and white look and only two classic pieces—a great pair of joggers in a rich material and a flowy cropped tank. You could add sandals or slip-on sneakers for a daytime look or go bold with strappy heels for a killer evening ensemble. 

A federal judge in Louisiana dismissed the lawsuit brought against Black Lives Matter on Thursday, ruling that because BLM is a social movement and a hashtag, it can’t be sued.

The lawsuit was initiated by an anonymous police officer in late 2016 after he was injured during a protest in Baton Rouge last year, according to the Baltimore Sun. The officer sued both BLM and a well-known activist, DeRay Mckesson.

NPR reports the officer alleged he was injured during the protest turned “riot” after an unknown protestor threw a piece of concrete or a “rock-like” object that ended up hitting him. The officer lost teeth and suffered injuries to his jaw, brain and head as a result. The protest was over a deadly police shooting in Baton Rouge last year that resulted in the death of Alton Sterling.

The officer’s lawsuit argued that BLM, as a “national unincorporated association,” could be sued. Mckesson was deemed BLM’s “leader and founder” and “in charge of the protests” and was also alleged to be guilty of the officer’s injuries. The officer added two more parties to the lawsuit this summer, including Black Lives Matter Network, Inc., another group associated with the BLM movement, and the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter, according to the New York Times. But Chief Judge Brian Jackson of the Baton Rouge District Court came to a different conclusion after reviewing the case.  

“‘Black Lives Matter,’ as a social movement, cannot be sued, however, in a similar way that a person cannot plausibly sue other social movements such as the Civil Rights movement, the L.G.B.T. rights movement, or the Tea Party movement,” Judge Jackson said in his ruling.

He did, however, recognize that individuals or groups associated with the movement can be sued and potentially found guilty. As for the hashtag being included in the lawsuit, Judge Jackson was not impressed.

“For reasons that should be obvious, a hashtag – which is an expression that categorizes or classifies a person’s thought, is not a ‘juridical person’ and therefore lack the capacity to be sued,” Judge Jackson said.

He also criticized the officer’s decision to include the BLM movement and hashtag in his lawsuit.

“Plaintiff’s attempt to bring suit against a social movement and a hashtag evidences either a gross lack of understanding of the concept of capacity or bad faith,” Judge Jackson said.

Mckesson was also cleared of charges following the judge’s conclusion that Mckesson “solely engaged in protected speech” at the protest.

“It’s clear that I did nothing wrong that day and that the police were the only violent people in the streets,” Mckesson said after the ruling. “The movement began as a call to end violence, and that call remains the same today.”

The head of the Air Force Academy had a powerful message for his students on Thursday after racial slurs were found on campus.

"If you’re outraged by those words then you’re in the right place," Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria said during a five-minute address to the academy’s 1,500 staff members and 4,000 students. "You should be outraged not only as an airman, but as a human being."

The Washington Postreports the address came after five black students living in the dormitories found racial slurs written on the message boards on their doors. The students are cadet candidates and go to a preparatory school on the academy’s campus. The school has around 240 students and prepares candidates for admission to the Air Force Academy.

Silveria was blunt about his intolerance of discrimination on campus. “If you can’t treat someone from another gender with dignity and respect, then you need to get out. If you demean someone in any way, you need to get out. If you can’t treat someone from another race, or different color skin, with dignity and respect, then you need to get out.”

He also emphasized that “small thinking and horrible ideas” had no place at the academy.

The situation first came to light after Tracye Whitfield, the mother of one of the five students posted a photo of the message – a racial slur and the words “go home” – on Facebook, according to the New York Times.

"It’s a nerve-racking feeling," Whitfield told a news station in Colorado Springs, near the Air Force Academy and its preparatory school.

Even though the incident happened at the prep school and not at the Air Force Academy itself, Silveria stressed that it was still relevant to everybody on campus.

"Some of you may think that that happened down at the prep school and doesn’t apply to us," Silveria said. "I would be naïve, and we would all be naïve, to think that everything is perfect here."

Although Silveria’s speech has gone viral and has resulted in him being praised for his advocacy of treating everyone with mutual respect, he said he made the speech to show his students that it was their duty to unite “as an institution protecting these values,” according to the Post.

Some have compared his speech with what they wish they would hear from those currently in power and have even suggested Silveria run for office one day:

When you’re sleeping three feet away from another person—whether it’s a complete stranger, your best friend or your friend’s friend’s friend’s friend (who she just swears you’ll absolutely LOVE)—things are going to feel pretty cozy pretty fast. For every story you’ve heard about roommates who are attached at the hip, you’ve probably heard five about girls with terrible experiences. Read on as seven collegiettes share their most horrific roommate experiences and we tell you what to do to make sure you don’t add to the list!

The Horror Stories

Third-wheeling

“[My roommate and her long-distance boyfriend] are constantly on speakerphone. He wakes her up in the morning. They Skype while I'm trying to do homework. They dirty talk on the phone while I'm trying to sleep. And what's worse, you can't reason with either of them. I have to wear headphones whenever I'm watching Doctor Who or listening to my Taylor Swift, but she can have NCIS blaring from her laptop and him singing/screeching while I'm trying to study. The one time I asked them (very nicely, although I wanted to scream!) to be a little quieter, he called me a brat and yelled at me. It's so bad that I've slept in the bathroom twice.” — Amy*, student at Florida Southern College

Harboring a fugitive

“One of [my roommates] invited her out-of-state, non-student boyfriend to live with us, with no warning. Pretty early on into the situation, we learned just in passing that he wasn't a student (and wasn't allowed to be one) because of prior criminal charges. And although we had made several complaints to our RAs and residence coordinators, everyone kept telling us that they had to see it happening for themselves, and worse, that if we were found in the room while he had any paraphernalia with him, we would all be liable. He was such a permanent resident in our suite that when his girlfriend and the other roommate left for Thanksgiving break, he stayed behind with the keys and about six of his equally questionable friends. We actually had to get the cops involved to have them removed from the room for the weekend.” — Jenny, University of South Florida graduate

Party till you puke

“I knew my roommate liked to party a little bit in high school, but it got totally out of control in college. We lived in a dorm where we shared a room. She came home drunk and threw up all over the room…on two separate occasions. It smelled terrible!” — Ingrid, junior at Auburn University

Say it to my face

“[I] walked in on my roommate talking about me and didn’t say anything. Just pretended like I hadn’t heard. But it was really awkward between us for a while after that. We ended up doing subtle things to show that we were pissed.” — Lexi, junior at the University of South Carolina

Full moon

“My freshman roommate had a boyfriend who lived off campus, so she would stay at his apartment a lot. One night, a bunch of us decided to go out, but she said that she was going over to her boyfriend’s house and sleeping there, so I knew that I would get the room to myself and not have to sneak in late. When I got back from downtown, a little earlier than usual, I flicked on my lights to reveal her boyfriend’s bare ass mooning me from her lofted bed because they decided to stay in our room instead. I slept in my friend’s dorm that night.” — Nicole*, junior at the University of South Carolina

Are you freaking kidding me?!

“My ex-boyfriend decided to visit me since my university was close to our hometown. He came for a few days and he met my roommates, and it was actually pretty fun. Almost a month later, my roommate let something slip. She and my ex-boyfriend slept together in the lounge of our building.” — Sarah, junior at the University of Victoria

"Mom…"

“She was constantly asking me to tidy up, and there was this ridiculous dry erase board that she wanted me to write on every time I left the room saying where I was. But what didn't make any sense was that she didn't have any rules for herself. Her friends would come in our room to hang out all of the time, which was fine, but when I wanted to go to bed, I would politely ask them to leave and she would get pissed. It was a bit ridiculous considering I only really used that room for sleeping and yet I couldn't even do that.” — Emma*, junior at the University of Notre Dame

How to Make Sure They Don’t Happen to You

There’s no way to completely prevent roommate drama. Sometimes you’ll get stuck living with someone who just can’t understand how to respect someone else’s living space. But there are some ways you can work to try and improve your rooming experience—so you don’t fear for your physical and mental health before you go to bed every night.

Talk it out

Seems obvious, right? Well, for many girls, sitting down and talking to your roomie about basic living styles might feel formal and uncomfortable, when you’re just trying to show her that you’re totally cool and casual. 

Turns out, you can have the conversation in that cool and causal way. “Start things off by hanging out together. Have a weekly dinner or coffee together to get to know each other better,” says Christie Garton, author of the UChic College Girls Guidebook Series. “Set some ground rules together at the start that you both feel good about and can stick to.”

Harlan Cohen, author of The Naked Roommate: And 107 Other Issues You Might Run Into in College, agrees. He believes that not talking about your personal preferences will only hurt you later on. “Living with someone when you’ve never lived with someone before is incredibly uncomfortable, and the knee-jerk reaction is for people to keep secrets as opposed to sharing what makes them uncomfortable,” he says. “By starting with ‘I want to know what makes you uncomfortable and I hope you want to know [too], are you cool with that?’ you diffuse all of the bigger issues that come later.”

It’s not you, it’s me

If you have a huge problem with your roommate, chances are, she has a huge problem with you. What? You? But you’ve done absolutely nothing wrong! Girl, it’s time to get off your high horse and realize that there are two sides to every story.

Cohen notes that we are quick to blame someone else for any problem we have. “You ask yourself the question: ‘What’s my role?’ Because a lot of times most people with big roommate issues are 50 percent of the problem,” he says. Your mom, siblings and best friends may all be telling you your roommate is crazy, but they aren’t really objective bystanders. Ask your roommate if there is anything you do that she would like you to change, and offer to do those things. If you give a little, hopefully you’ll get something in return.

Dealing with the “third roommate”

If we had a nickel for every time we’ve heard, “Ugh, my roommate’s boyfriend is always in the room,” we could probably pay our rent for a month.

The fact of the matter is, whether your roommate hates that your SO is always around or you hate waking up to your roommate’s SO’s dirty underwear on the floor, the room only belongs to the people whose names are on the door (and no, this does not mean you should write another name there). “Having your roommate’s boyfriend hanging around all the time can be a huge stressor,” says Garton. “Set ground rules for times when you are OK with him being there…like those nights where you work or have group study. But no one should have to live with an uninvited third roommate at all times.”

Whichever one of you has the boyfriend: maybe limit the Netflix-and-chilling to one or two times a week. There are plenty of romantic experiences you can have around campus. If your relationship can’t exist outside of your twin bed, you have some other things to think about.

Out of options

You’ve tried to have several productive conversations with your roommate, set up meetings with your RA, offered to sacrifice some of your lifestyle choices for her benefit, and still, you’re totally miserable. At this point, especially if this girl is causing your grades to slip, your mental health to go awry or your personal safety to be put at risk, get out of that room. “Never put up with an unfixable roommate situation,” says Garton. “It’s your education, your life and you need to get on with it!”

So before you freak out or move out, try to work it out. Your room doesn’t just belong to you. And if you ever think you’re alone in the crazy roommate world, look back at these horror stories—you’ll find yourself in great company.

*Names have been changed.

Pretty Little Liars obsessives rejoice: we're officially going to be seeing more of Shay Mitchell and PLL creator I. Marlene King on Freeform and we couldn't be more excited.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mitchell and King are officially teaming up for a new drama called The Heiresses (based on another one of Sara Shepard's book series!), in which Mitchell stars as one of two Heiresses to the Saybrook family fortune. After a deadly crash one year ago, Mitchell's character and her cousin are no longer speaking — but a tragedy brings them together as they try to figure out who wants their high-profile family dead.

If that's not enough to pique your interest, the show is already being described as Gossip Girl-meets-Pretty Little Liars, meaning we already know we're going to be obsessed. (As if we could not love anything written and produced by the creator of one of our all-time favorite shows.) Freeform is reportedly giving it the put-pilot treatment, meaning the show is pretty much guaranteed to stick around past the pilot episode.

Despite the fact that Pretty Little Liars officially ended three months ago (and we're still sad about it, TBH), it sounds like King and the former cast are going to stay super busy. In addition to The Heiresses, Freeform announced earlier this week that a PLL spinoff starring Sasha Pieterse and Janel Parrish is also in the works — meaning we can mourn the loss of PLL at least (a little) less than we thought.

Your little—the person who might as well just be your soulmate. Having a little gives you a legitimate excuse to be super obsessed with someone, craft every waking hour of every day and spend more money than you'd ever spend on yourself. After you're officially deemed "big" and "little," you start wondering how you ever went so long without this person in your life. Friends may come and go, but a little is forever. Here are 15 signs that you are, in fact, obsessed with your little.

1. Right off the bat, you can think of at least 10 inside jokes that you share

2. You are a firm believer that you two are actually the same person

3. Ever since the very second you met her during recruitment, you knew she was the one

4. You spoil her as if she's your own child

5. All you ever want to do is craft for her

6. Even if you absolutely hate crafting

7. You drop whatever you're doing any time she needs you

8. You have your own Pinterest board dedicated to things you want to buy for her

9. The feeling you got when you saw her on bid night is equivalent to the feeling a small child gets on Christmas morning

10. You have no doubt that she will be one of your bridesmaids someday

11. You're more than willing to put her Dunkin' on your tab

12. You would bail her out of jail with all of the money you don't have

13. You finish each other's sentences way too often

14. You can exchange heinous Snapchat selfies with absolutely no judgment

Okay, maybe just a little judgment.

15. Pictures of the two of you have basically taken over your Instagram page

There's nothing better than having a little. 

Gone are the days where we spent the first half of the semester carefully planning out a different, inventive costume for each and every night of Halloweekend, or multiple Halloweekends, if Halloween fell in the middle of the week. In college, all we had to worry about was making sure our outfits were cute, our drinks were full and our makeup was on point. Kids didn’t come running up to our dorm doors begging for candy, guests didn’t have to be adequately entertained and you didn’t have to face your boss in your costume.

Don’t worry, though. You may be at a loss now that animal ears and a Rubbermaid tub full of jungle juice won’t really cut it, but we’ve got your back.   

1. Dressing up at work 

Depending on where you work, you may get to dress up on Halloween, but your costume choice if you’re a bartender is going to vary from that if you’re a software engineer; it’s important to dress for the workspace you’re in! Even though the occasion calls for disguises, remembering where you are when you select your attire is key.

Kathleen Rotondo, a developer at IBM, says, “Please be smart about this; there are lines that can’t be crossed. This isn't just dressing up to go out with friends. It’s your job and should be treated as such. When it comes to gore, less is usually more, but there’s no reason not go all out on a fictional character or something that’s not so scary.” This also applies to traditionally sexy costumes—there is a time and place for them, and a professional setting is not it!

“Puns based on the work place go a long way,” Kathleen says. “A guy from work last year dressed up in a white shirt that said ‘404 Error: Costume Not Found,’ and given that we're programmers, everyone lost their minds over it.”

If your employer will let you dress up for the occasion, you should definitely take advantage of the occasion! Get creative with your costumes, but be smart about your choices.

2. Decorating your space

Whether it’s your home or your office, there is such a thing as too much or too soon. You don’t want HR called on you for having a plastic weapon that looks a little too real, or the police called for what people mistake for a murder scene.

Danielle Buchanan, a graduate of Eckerd College, loves to visit Target, TJ Maxx and Homegoods to shop for her holiday decorations. “They’re all so fun, and pretty inexpensive!” she says. Target’s dollar spot always has great finds for holiday supplies, like battery-powered LED lights and bat-shaped chalk boards!

Haleigh Kopinski, a graduate of Point Park and Social Media Community Manager for Aerie, likes to make her own decorations! “I take one weekend to just completely ‘fall out’ and do DIYs. Last year I made a welcome sign out of fake leaves, potpourri light jars, and candles!”

Kathleen found that fairy lights and spooky pictures worked the best for her office! “Classic pumpkins are a great idea, but if they're real be careful about making sure you get rid of them before they rot; nobody wants to visit your office if it smells like that,” she says. “I also keep a bowl of candy on my desk for anyone who visits!” You don’t want to do anything that could make you look bad or create drama within the office!

Overly grotesque décor, such as very bloody or lifelike, recreations or references to real-life crimes, or campy versions of décor dedicated to cultural holidays, like the Day of the Dead, could all instigate tension between individuals within the office. There’s a fine line between appreciation and appropriation, and crossing it could create hostility and awkwardness.

3. Seasonally appropriate snacks and drinks

In the land and time of pumpkin spice, a rarity available to us mostly during the fall, it can be difficult to open your mind to other flavors. There are lots of great recipes, for drinks and snacks a like, to get you ready for Halloween, pumpkin not required.

Haleigh likes to create her own recipes around this time of year. “Pinterest is a life-saver, but I enjoy pumpkin everything and apple cider sangria a lot!” she says.

Witch hats made of Hershey’s kisses and fudge stripes and cocktails called “Dark and Spooky” are sure to get the Halloween spirit flowing and all of your guests ready for the party.

4. Throwing a party

One of the best things about Halloween in college was Halloweekend(s), the several days, or even a whole week, in a row where costumes ranged from full-body morph suits to outfits made out of rolls of caution tape. Everybody was in the same boat, ready to celebrate all day, every day. The prospect of a party to bring you back to your heyday may be just what you need to get out of the post-grad funk, but your neighbors in your post-grad quarters, be it the house next door or the apartments all around, probably don’t feel the same way.

If you’re going to throw a party, you’ve got to be conscious of your surroundings. Surely you’ll have some neighbors that want to celebrate with you, but you’ll also have young children that need to go to bed when they get back from trick-or-treating and older neighbors that don’t want to hear your screams all night.

Also keep in mind the potential clean-up. Many decorations, like fake blood or broken glow sticks, could stain your carpets, curtains, walls and upholstery if you don’t know how or forget to clean it up that night.

It may be in your best interest to take the party to somebody else’s house or out on the town, but make sure you have rides planned out. Kathleen suggests taking an Uber if it’s available in your area, especially when alcohol is involved. “It will be dark and children are little,” she says. “The last thing you want to be is responsible for hitting somebody.” Driving while intoxicated to any degree is no joke, and the more people you have to Uber with, the less congested the roads will be and the more money you’ll keep in your pocket.  

5. Preparing for trick-or-treaters

If you don’t throw or go to a party, hopefully you’ll be participating in the most popular part of the holiday.

It’s been a long standing tradition that if you’re accepting trick-or-treaters you leave your porch light on, and if you’re not offering treats you keep it dark. A lot of overzealous children don’t follow the rules, though, and even if your porch light is off, they’ll still ring your bell or knock on your door in the hopes of a sugar rush. You can purchase or make a sign that says “Trick or Treat” on one side and “Out of Candy” on the other if you don’t want to participate, or want to make sure they stop coming once the treats are gone, but Halloween is a really exciting time for kids and if you have the means to participate, you could make any number of kids’ nights.

“Remember how magical trick or treating could be? Make it that way for another kid,” Kathleen says. “The excitement on their faces and the gratitude they offer will make you so glad you did!” Even if all you want to do is sit inside with a drink and a scary movie the night of, keeping a bowl of candy nearby for those who come to visit will make everyone happy.

6. Marathoning holiday favorites

Whether it’s to kick off the season (and it’s never too early to do so) or as a quiet night in instead of celebrating, a Halloween movie marathon is a must. There’s nothing like a Disney Channel Original Movie or a horror film to get you pumped for Halloween.

“I'm still a sucker for Halloweentown,” Summer Arlexis, a graduate of Boston University and a fashion and beauty staff writer for Bustle.com, says. “I mean, what 90s kid wouldn't consider that a classic? DCOMs are always giving me life!” And who could forget the scariest DCOM ever created, Don’t Look Under the Bed? Even in our twenties, these kiddy Halloween classics still cause us to drop everything on the nights they air!

Haleigh says, “One tradition that has stuck from college is that every year, my two old roommates and I get together to have a wine night, and watch the most awful scary movies, like Sorority Row and the Scream series.” You can even take old traditions like this and use the time to create new ones, like decorating your own fall or Halloween-themed wine glasses to use.

Whether it’s a throwback, classic, or family-friendly film, it’ll do the job to get your ready for anything the Halloween season has to throw at you, and as long as you act safely and smartly now that you’re out in the real world, with real consequences, this Halloween will be just as amazing as all the ones before it were.

After several weeks of heightened criticism and scandal surrounding his use of private charter and military flights for government trips, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price has resigned. According to the Washington Post, President Donald Trump accepted Price's resignation on Friday afternoon following reports that he was weighing his options of firing Price over the travel scandal. 

"He's a very fine man, but we're going to make a decision sometime tonight,” Trump told reporters while heading to his golf club in Bedminster, N.J. on Friday afternoon, according to WaPo. “I certainly don't like the optics. I'm not happy, I can tell you that. I'm not happy.”

This comes after Price said earlier in the week that he would pay back the government to the tune of more than $50,000 to cover some of the flights (the $51,887.31 check would reportedly cover the costs of him flying charter, but not so much the costs of his staff.)

While the "optics" were what Trump had issue with this time around, this isn't the first time Price's job was on the chopping block. Trump had previously joked (in a decidedly unjoke-y way during that bananas Boy Scouts speech) that he would fire Price if he didn't manage to get a GOP healthcare bill/Obamacare repeal off the ground. 

“He better get the votes,” Trump said, referring to Price. “Otherwise I will say, Tom, you're fired.”

Price joins a pretty hefty list of former members of the Trump team that have departed and/or been fired by POTUS, including Sean Spicer, Anthony Scaramucci, Steve Bannon, Reince Priebus, James Comey, Michael Flynn and more, according to Business Insider. 

While it's yet to be determined who will fill Price's seat as Secretary of Health and Human services, odds are they will most definitely be flying in Business class or Coach.
