Many Americans may not have realized that Tuesday was election day, because only state and local elections were being held. Yet there was one particular state election which was getting national attention, and with good reason: Ohio's ballot proposal for legalizing medical and recreational use of marijuana. 

According to the New York Times, the measure failed substantially, with 65 percent of voters opposed in comparison to just 35 percent in support. This, coming after a lengthy and expensive campaign, seems to signify a hefty defeat for the pro-weed movement.

Still, Rolling Stone asserts that the ballot measure was voted down not because Buckeyes aren't pot-friendly, but because 10 companies donated obscene amounts of money to pass "Issue 3." If it had been passed, it would have ensured they had "exclusive and indefinite" rights to marijuana sales in Ohio. That detail was so unsavory that even national pro-weed groups refused to endorse the measure.

"I can't believe I voted 'no' when it was finally on the ballot," Marty Dvorchak told the New York Times. "I think it's ridiculous that marijuana is illegal. The war on drugs has been a failure. But I don't think 10 people (growers) should have a monopoly."

Regardless of the Ohio botched measure, next year's elections could see as many as 11 states across the country potentially voting on the hot-button pot legalization issue. Currently 23 states have laws providing legalization of medical marijuana to some extent.

Food and exercise seem like two topics that are constantly being discussed in the media. Whether we’re talking about which celebrity is going paleo or which one spends hours a day on the elliptical, our society is pretty obsessed with what people are eating and how they’re working out afterward.

When we live in a society that idealizes certain body types (and shames others), it’s understandable that many of us have complicated relationships with both food and exercise. But how can you identify when your relationship with food and exercise may actually be an eating disorder?

We reached out to Christie Dondero and Ashley Kula of Rock Recovery, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that supports the journey to freedom from disordered eating, to learn the truth about what disordered eating is and what we can do about it.

What is disordered eating?

When most of us think of eating disorders, we think of anorexia and bulimia. But those two singular eating disorders don’t tell the whole story.

Ashley Kula, Community Relations and Development Specialist at Rock Recovery, uses a formal explanation when describing disordered eating. “Disordered eating can refer to a number of abnormal behaviors, such as food restriction, binge eating, purging, use of diet pills/laxatives, belief that one’s self-worth or self-esteem is based on their body shape/weight, body dysmorphia, excessive exercise, obsessive calorie counting, anxiety about foods or food groups, etc.,” Kula explains.

That explanation includes a lot of behaviors, but Christie Dondero, Executive Director at Rock Recovery, offers a simpler definition of disordered eating: using food to cope with life.

“There’s nothing wrong with the extra ice cream cone during a breakup or paying extra attention to how many greens we’re eating from time to time,” Dondero says. “But when food and/or exercise become the primary coping tool or focus in our lives and take away from relationships and physical/mental health, there’s a problem.”  

And this is how people can get confused about what constitutes disordered eating. To many people, the term “eating disorders” is restricted to cases where people are purging after each meal or are starving themselves—but that’s not what disordered eating is all about. Not at all.

“If I can’t listen to my best friend’s story over lunch because I am obsessed over whether or not to have that dessert, there’s a problem. If I find myself skipping plans with a friend to run a few extra miles because I am concerned with how many cookies I ate that day, there’s a problem,” Dondero says.

According to the most recent statistics from NEDA, college students have some of the highest prevalence rates for disordered eating. An estimated 95 percent of individuals who suffer from eating disorders are between the ages of 12 and 26. This means that college-aged students are a high risk population. Statistics have shown that roughly 91 percent of females on college campuses have attempted to control their weight utilizing various dieting practices, and 25 percent report using dangerous methods (such as binging and purging) to lose or control their weight.  

Misconceptions about disordered eating

One common misconception about eating disorders is that to have one, you have to look a certain way: stick thin. This kind of misconception is detrimental to those who are caught up in disordered eating.

“Some struggling with eating disorders who may be considering seeking help can be discouraged because they think they aren’t ‘sick enough.’ Insurance companies, in their own way, contribute to this myth by routinely denying coverage to those struggling with eating disorders because ‘they aren’t sick enough,’ even though early intervention is one of the most effective methods of preventing someone from having a full-blown eating disorder,” Kula says. “There is no ‘sick enough.’ If an individual is regularly exhibiting disordered eating behaviors, help is needed.”

Another common misconception about disordered eating is that it’s a “white woman’s disease.” But the truth is, eating disorders transcend gender, sexual orientation, race, and age. Anyone can struggle with an eating disorder. This myth contributes to the hesitance of marginalized communities in getting the help they need. NEDA’s Marginalized Voices Project is working to spread the message that everyone’s experience is equally valid and equally deserving of care and recovery.

Addressing signs of disordered eating

In someone you know  

There are a number of ways that you can look for signs of disordered eating in those around you, whether it be a friend, roommate, family member or significant other.

Kula notes that one of her best friends was the first person to recognize her disordered eating behaviors. Her friend addressed the issue upfront and demanded that she get the help that she needed.

“She noted my habit of counting calories, spending excessive hours in the gym, and literally weighing my own self-worth by what number was on the scale,” Kula says. “Because she had struggled with an eating disorder in high school, she recognized what I was doing and confronted me about it.”

Like many who struggle with disordered eating, she denied that there was a problem. But the truth was that it was a behavioral pattern that had been playing itself out since high school, when she first began exploring dangerous weight loss behaviors.

So, what can you do if you see signs of disordered eating in someone you love?

“The worst thing family and friends can do is accuse, criticize, or tell someone to ‘just eat’ or to ‘just stop eating,’ or to say that what they’re doing is ‘gross,’” Kula says. “Those aren’t helpful, and they aren’t solutions for someone who is struggling with an eating disorder.”

Related: What to Do When Your Friend Has an Eating Disorder

The best thing you can do is to educate yourself about disordered eating before you address the issue at all. It’s important to understand that eating disorders aren’t a choice that someone makes.

Kula’s friend was particularly helpful, since she had experience with disordered eating herself. “She was able to give me a lot of valuable information and resources, first about accepting that I needed help and preparing myself to ask for and accept it, but also about the various programs that our university had, as well as outside professional help,” Kula says.

That doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to help your friend if you haven’t experienced disordered eating yourself. Even if you don’t have personal experience, you can still be a strong support system for your friend by making sure you are available for them when they need it, to help them work through all of the treatment and counseling options, and by not stigmatizing your friend (or disordered eating) throughout the process.

For many family members and friends, it’s easy to think, “it’s not my place,” or “they’ll ask for my help when they need it.” But the truth is, eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness. It’s never too soon to get help.

In yourself

Those struggling with disordered eating also generally have a history of (or are at risk of experiencing) depression and/or anxiety. Prevalence of depression and anxiety in those with eating disorders makes sense, since dealing with disordered eating can be such an isolating experience.

When Kula got to college, she watched as her relationships (both romantic and platonic) began to fall apart. She spent more and more time at the gym, and less time studying or cultivating new friendships that would be benefitted her during her first year away at college“As I began to see my grades drop, my relationship continuing to deteriorate, and myself sink into a state of depression and anxiety, I started spending entire afternoons at the gym and became even more obsessed with what I ate,” Kula says. “I was very lonely, but found satisfaction in the control I thought I was exhibiting over my life.”

But despite those feelings of depression and/or anxiety, some of those struggling with disordered eating still can't bring themselves to reach out or ask for help. “Some struggle with accepting or asking for help, or even recognizing that they need it, despite how isolating struggling with disordered eating can be,” Kula says. “These are the ones who don’t or won’t ask for help and may need help from family and friends before embracing help.”

If you are experiencing similar feelings of isolation and are concerned that some of the behaviors that you have been exhibiting may be signs of an eating disorder, please consider taking this online screening test. This assessment is totally anonymous and will allow you to assess your risk of an eating disorder. The screening takes just a few minutes. All of the questions were developed by treatment professionals in the eating disorders field and are designed to assess whether or not clinical help is necessary based on your responses.

If you would prefer to talk to someone about whether or not your behaviors might indicate disordered eating, you can also call the NEDA hotline at 1-800-931-2237 anytime.

Dealing with disordered eating

Treatment options  

There are several different options when it comes to treating disordered eating or an eating disorder in either yourself or someone you love.

For those based in Washington D.C., Rock Recovery offers an excellent outpatient recovery program. This program offers the benefits of group meals, therapy groups, and experiential therapies in a community setting.

“Rock Recovery bridges the gap in treatment that is available for disordered eating and the overall understanding of the illness,” Dondero says. “We are passionate about helping to decrease stigma and getting people the access to care they need and deserve to recover.” The program is designed to enable individuals to prioritize their recovery, while realizing most are unable to forfeit their jobs/studies." For more information on Rock Recovery’s Individual Recovery Program, click here.)

Another great option is to visit NEDA’s treatment options and support groups database to find the help and support you need to get through this experience, whether you’re struggling with disordered eating firsthand or are supporting a loved one who struggles with disorderd eating.

Supporting the cause

One of the best ways that you can help in the fight against disordered eating, whether or not you’ve personally been affected by an eating disorder, is to help create a safe space free of stigma and misconceptions about eating disorders.

You can spread awareness about disordered eating by encouraging your local community to actively promote a healthy body image and healthy relationships with food and exercise, to encourage businesses to have body-friendly marketing practices (appealing to consumers without promoting dangerous behaviors or practices), and providing education opportunities from a young age. The more we know about eating disorders, the better.

Education

Education is one of the best ways that you can support the fight against disordered eating. You can educate yourself using the massive amount of materials available on NEDA’s website, spanning from general information about disordered eating to recovery issues and beyond.

You can also find an educational program to come to your school, organization, or community to teach you about the dangers of disordered eating and how to develop a positive body image and health relationship to food and exercise. Rock Recovery’s “Hungry for What?” college education series addresses disordered eating behaviors and dispels myths that otherwise normalized eating behaviors—like counting calories, restricting yourself, abusing diet pills or laxatives, etc.—are NOT normal, and are in fact unhealthy.

The program helps to establish healthy and safe ways of approaching food, exercise and body image, and helps to engage college students in a conversation that enables them, at times, to recognize and address their own disordered eating behaviors. The program leaders also provide information for relevant resources and work to get counseling services on campus involved so that students know whom they can go to if they need help.

With roughly 91 percent of females on college campuses attempting to control their weight and 25 percent of them using dangerous methods (such as binging and purging) to lose or control their weight - we don’t have time to wait. Now is the time to educate yourself and those around you about the dangers of disordered eating. Visit NEDA or Rock Recovery for more information now.

As recent grads, we all have expectations of what our lives will look like. Some of what we’ve planned for rings true, but the rest? Not so much—and we just might have Friends to thank for that. As sad as it may be, we must come to terms with the fact that we are not Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Ross or Chandler, and we will not spend the majority of our twenties lounging on a comfy orange couch.

Presenting: “The One Where Friends Repeatedly Lied to Us”

Lie #1: Even as an unemployed actor or mediocre (to put it kindly) waitress, you will be able to live in a large two-bedroom apartment in the hottest neighborhood.

As many graduettes will tell you, the palaces featured on Friends aren’t quite representative of a typical first apartment (read: shoebox). Paying rent on an entry-level salary is a very real struggle that the Friends characters somehow seemed to avoid. Yes, they were always looking for extra ways to earn cash, but how much can you really make by donating fluids (Joey) or selling knives (Phoebe)?

Lie #2: Your friends will always be available and somewhere within a two-block radius whenever you’re looking to hang out.

This might be the saddest lie of them all. Unlike college, you probably aren’t able to spend hours of each day with your BFFs. Finding time for one another during the week can be a major challenge, especially if you live or work in different neighborhoods. The good news is you’ll value the moments you do spend together that much more. Aww.

Lie #3: You’ll know people with pet monkeys, chicks, ducks and rats.

Sure, you might have friends with cats or fish, but you probs won’t be hanging out with any farm and/or zoo animals any time soon. This also means you don’t have to worry about being attacked or humped by a monkey on a first date (we hope).

Lie #4: If and when you have kids of your own, they will demand minimal attention and disappear altogether around the age of 6.

But seriously, what happened to Ben?! Ross’s son ceased to exist in the last few seasons of the show, but anyone with nieces, nephews or a babysitting job can attest that children are a major responsibility and that they sometimes, just sometimes, get in the way of hanging out with friends.

Lie #5: Pizza will always be delivered by a super-hot girl (not to be confused with the equally hot girl who works at the copy place).

Hot delivery girls are hard to come by IRL. Ross trying (and failing) to flirt with said delivery girl? Now that seems pretty accurate.

Lie #6: You will date someone new every week, or, in Joey’s case, every day.

We hate to break it to you, but your dating life will probably pale in comparison to those of the Friends characters. You may not date a billionaire or a scientist or a celebrity, and you won’t meet someone new (let alone someone dateable!) every time you leave your apartment. There’s also a chance that you won’t marry one of your three guy friends.

Lie #7: Don’t worry if you accidentally kiss your interviewer (or scream at him, or forget his name); you will still get the job.

Oh, Rachel Green, if only we all had your charm. On the bright side, we can feel happy with ourselves every time we survive an interview without a makeout sesh. Way to set the bar high, Rach.

Lie #8: You will remain best friends with your ex after multiple messy breakups.

You can also hook up with your ex’s best friend (who happens to be another one of your best friends) and remain BFFs with both of them… JK. Yes, Ross and Rachel shared the love story of the century, and they’re the reason we ugly-cried all of seasons two through four, but that doesn’t mean that their relationship was normal. It’s totally okay if you don’t want to spend all day err day with your ex. 

Lie #9: You won’t get fired for spending half of the workday at a coffee shop with your friends.

Yes, Monica got fired from a restaurant once for taking home steaks, but what about the fact that she worked three hours a day? All of the friends seemed to share the mindset that work was fairly optional. Maybe that orange couch was always available because everyone else was at the office! Mystery solved.

Lie #10: Don’t bother locking your door. Ever.

And if you somehow find yourself locked out, you should knock down the door, naturally. But really—be safe, graduettes.

Now that we’re all questioning everything we’ve ever thought to be true, we should probably mention that there is one thing that Friends actually did get right: No matter what happens with jobs, apartments, financial situations or SOs, your besties will always be there for you (and they’ll know when it’s time to whip out the Ben & Jerry’s and turn on everyone’s favorite show).

A sexually explicit rendition of the Beatles’ “Hey Jude” is getting Ohio University’s Acacia fraternity chapter suspended.

Men from the the fraternity sang the raunchy rendition called “Send Nudes” to OU’s Alpha Delta Pi sorority. The lyrics are degrading, with one of its verses being, “Send nudes, don’t let me down. Take my soft dick and make it harder.” The so-called “serenade” took place last Wednesday night and was captured on video.

This fraternity’s suspension means that it cannot hold recruitment activities or meetings.

OU’s Acacia fraternity has been reputed to have other allegations regarding sexual assault. On campus. “They are notorious for drugging their free drinks and raping girls,” wrote the OU Student Union on a "Disorientation Guide" for incoming freshmen.

Acacia at OU released the following statement about the guide on their Twitter page.

A petition to ban the fraternity has accumulated over a thousand signatures.

And the response to the video? Well, the guys at Acacia are saying that people have taken the song “out of context.” We’ll leave this sentiment open to interpretation because it doesn't really seem like any amount of “context” makes this event acceptable.

Unfortunately, Acacia is one of many Greek organizations to have serious problems in its history. Earlier this year, Old Dominion University’s Sigma Nu chapter outraged the public with offensive signs directed towards freshmen girls. Such signs read “Hope your baby girl is ready for a good time” and “Freshman daughter drop-off, go ahead and drop off mom too…” The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at the University of California, San Diego, attempted to hold a “topless rush” campaign that asked freshmen boys to submit photos of topless women with “SAE” written on their chests. And it's not just respecting women that frats seem to have a problem with—Disturbing instances of racism have been common as well.

The overbearing presence of misogyny in such student organizations cultivates a toxic environment for college students. If the goals of a fraternity are to make positive connections among like-minded peers, this form of like-mindedness—like-mindedness that hurts women—is unnerving and needs to end.

I firmly believe that a mom’s advice is the best advice. They’ve lived through everything: all the emotional breakdowns, pizza binge-eating and quarter life crises that we're experiencing today. However, they just did it 30 years ago when Led Zeppelin was more than a name on a "rock and roll" T-shirt and when analog phones were the most modern technology. Plus, moms are capable of real life magic — they're able to cure anything with a hug and a comforting anecdote. This all being said, I am absolutely not afraid to run to my mother as soon as I decide to take that scary step into the mysterious beyond that is the dating world.  

Now I am not inexperienced in love. I’ve had it. I know the joys and sorrows of relationships — which is where my issue lies — that I know quite a bit about relationships, and nothing about casual dating or how I’m supposed to approach an attractive man and not be a stuttering potato. My mom is the complete opposite. She’s tall, blonde, hilarious and in her heyday was a top-notch flirt. She ended up meeting a great guy (Hi Dad!), settling down and spawning me. Yet, I stand here fearful of my inevitable cat lady-ness, and at a loss on how to approach reentering a dating world.

This is where I decide to try a fun little experiment. What would happen if I decided to take my mom’s dating advice for a week?

Day One

Really, my standards are just a person with a pulse and an appetite.

This is great because I spend 30 percent of my week grocery shopping.

I feel as though my mom’s advice is something practical that anyone can follow if they’re interested in upping their flirtation game a bit. I prepare for this by laying out a series of my favorite feel-good outfits for the week that I feel really confident in. I also mentally prepare myself to try smiling more than normal, and tell my fragile psyche that pushing myself socially will be a good thing.

Day Two

I start this morning with a trip to Trader Joes. It’s my Barbie dream house, filled with cute guys and an extensive cookie aisle. I peruse the building for someone I might be able to strike up a conversation with, and find a nice looking man my age near the bagged salad. I quell my inner social anxiety with promises of oatmeal cookies as soon as I leave, and burst out some nonsense question asking about salad recommendations. This lovely man gives a great kale recommendation and talks with me for a few minutes until he leaves to continue his shopping. Now that I’ve pushed myself once, I feel as though it will be easier the next time.

RELATED: 19 Signs You're the Mom of Your Friend Group

Unfortunately I’m unable to initiate another conversation and head off to class. As an English major, the supply of men is sadly few and far between, yet I make an extra effort to talk with the ones around me more than normal. I manage to feign confidence and dig deeper into conversation past the superficial talk that usually circulates before lecture starts. Here’s the thing everyone: nothing happens but it’s surprisingly fun. I may not be able to steer conversation in a flirtatious direction, but end up having incredible conversation with people I never would have considered in a friendly context. One point for Team Mom.

Day Three

This day I prepare myself for a full day of class, meetings and study groups, mentally picking out the guys I will be making more of an effort to get to know. This goes about as well as the previous day with some lovely conversations and deepening friendships, but no romantic developments.

Day Four

I wake up feeling down. I am a potato. Mom, where are you?

At this point I begin to think my mom is too old to understand that “getting myself out there” is harder than it sounds. However, I’m determined to follow her advice since she’s pretty much a goddess and knows best.

She always knows what to say. I feel rejuvenated in my efforts and plan to go out the following night with my ladies.

Day Five

This is the big night. I go full Kim Kardashian with my makeup and head downtown with my friends. We Uber to a local favorite and order some bar food and drinks. It’s a Saturday so the place is packed with eligible bachelors (or victims). A club scene is one of the more difficult environments for me because I’m naturally more inclined to be in a horizontal position watching Chopped than dancing around in a dark room with too many smells. I reflect back to my mom’s advice to just “show my personality” and take comfort in the fact that she loves me so someone else might too. My friends and I make fleeting and quick conversations with the people around us, but nothing too serious. The night wares on and I trudge hopelessly to the bathroom.

Much to my benefit, the restroom line is humongous and I end up across from a sweet looking guy who looks like he doesn’t want to be here about as much as I do. My inner potato rears her ugly head as words fly from my mouth, until sooner or later it’s been a few minutes and we’re laughing about an SNL comedy sketch and discussing which restaurant has the best onion rings.

To my surprise, I actually find myself very interested in him. For the past few days I have been inciting new flirtations and friendships, but have not been genuinely interested in pursuing anything. The alarms go off in my brain, and just as I’m about to go into a full-fledged meltdown about how to get his phone number, he asks for my phone number! My inner potato prances about in barely contained glee.

We eventually go our separate ways — err to separate bathrooms — and I rejoin my friends feeling more confident than ever.

Day Six

A boy likes me? Mom, what do I do?!

My mom doesn’t actually know what Netflix and Chill means, she’s just trying to be cheeky.

Nerves overcome me, and I don’t text the boy from last night, because I want to see if just maybe he will send the first message. I go out for a more extensive grocery shopping trip, and two stores in, guess what! Another phone number scored from a guy who helped me carry pumpkins at Home Depot! This is clearly the luckiest twenty four hours of my young life.  

While I’m not necessarily as interested in bachelor number two, the overall interaction was a huge confidence boost and reassured me that my mom’s advice to have genuine interactions with people and really showcase myself is always the best way to go.

Day Seven

This concludes the experiment week. I cave and text the boy from the bar, successfully setting up a coffee date for the following weekend, and then I excitedly dance around my room to some Taylor Swift.

So thanks to my mom, here’s what I learned:

I am a young, beautiful woman and I need to own that way more without first having my ego stroked with my mother’s words. Reentering the dating world isn’t some dramatic and terrifying thing like I thought it would be. It takes some pushing of boundaries and a little bit more mascara, but mostly it takes the determination to truly present the honest and lovely version of yourself. Guys are attracted to authenticity. Authenticity is sexy. Pursuing conversation and being your dynamite self is a sure fire way to make friends or even meet a potential husband. There’s somebody for everybody, and if you ever get worried about that impending cat lady-ness, just text your mom and ask for some advice. They’re awesome, and as people always say: “Mother knows best.”

November embodies seasonal bliss. Cider, fall foliage, apples, hay rides, and pumpkins all lead up to the delicious climax of the fall season: Thanksgiving. Mornings become crisp, causing collegiettes to don sweaters, scarves, gloves, hats, and boots. Aromas of seasonal fare waft through the air almost everywhere you go. Grabbing a pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks becomes the highlight of the school week.

Before winter arrives, collegiettes need to bask in the wonderful season that is fall. What’s the best way to do this? Fall Pinterest crafts! We scoured Pinterest for some of the easiest (and cutest!) DIY projects out there. Next time you’re feeling creative, set aside some time to get crafty, fall style!

1. Glitter Pumpkins

Pumpkins signify the arrival of the harvest season and all the fun that accompanies Halloween and Thanksgiving. The brightly colored squash adds a touch of fall to your doorstep and makes its way into almost every seasonal food imaginable. How can collegiettes incorporate pumpkins into their DIY repertoire? By adding some sparkle of course! Even regular orange and white pumpkins can use a little glitz and glamour to spice things up. All you need is a pumpkin of any size, acrylic craft paint, and some glitter.

Supplies & Directions

• Pumpkin
• Paintbrush
• Acrylic craft paint
• Iridescent white glitter
• Paper plate/Newspaper

Use the paintbrush to spread a layer of white glue over the surface of the pumpkin. Place the pumpkin over a paper plate or some newspaper to catch any excess glitter. Sprinkle the glitter over the pumpkin, making sure to cover the entire pumpkin. Let dry for about one hour. Once the hour is up, shake off any excess glitter and enjoy your sparkly work of art!

2. Edible Acorns

Acorns are an autumn staple—walk around campus during the fall and you are bound to notice piles of acorns lining sidewalks and roads. You might even see some squirrels hiding their precious acorns away for winter. While real acorns probably aren’t the tastiest snack (unless you’re a squirrel), these edible “acorns” are addictively delicious. All you need are three ingredients and a microwave—it doesn’t get much easier than that!

Supplies & Directions

• Nutter Butter bites
• Hershey Kisses
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Place the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 10 seconds at a time, stirring after each interval until the chocolate chips are completely melted. This will act as a kind of glue to hold the acorns together. Place a dollop of melted chocolate on the bottom of a Hershey’s Kiss and attach it to a Nutter Butter. Let dry and then attach the acorn top (mini chocolate chip) to the top. Enjoy!

3. Autumn Leaf Lantern

This project requires a few more supplies than the rest, but the outcome is amazing. Who wouldn’t want an autumn leaf lantern lighting up their room on a dark, autumn night? If you live in a dorm that doesn’t allow candles, use a flameless tea candle to get the same effect.

Supplies & Directions

• Mason jar
• Leaves
• Mod Podge
• Paintbrush
• Tea candle (or fake tea candle, if living in a dorm)

Clean the Mason jar so that it is spotless and ready for some leaves. Using a paintbrush, coat the outside of the Mason jar with Mod Podge. Quickly press the leaves to the outside of the jar and let dry for 10 minutes. Finish by applying another coat of Mod Podge over the leaves—this will act as a sealant. Place a tea candle inside the jar and your lantern is ready to use!

4. “Lovin’ Fall” Frame

This is one of the easiest ways to festively decorate any space. All you need is a frame and access to a computer and printer as well as a frame. Brainstorming seasonal words is the best part, so have fun with it. Include everything that you love about the fall season and make it as personal as possible!

Supplies & Directions

• Frame
• Access to computer/printer

Make a list of words that you associate with fall. Either use Wordle to make a seasonal word cloud or put your Microsoft Word skills to the test and assemble WordArt into your desired format. If you aren’t familiar with Wordle, it is a website that allows users to create “word clouds” from the text that they provide. Print out your creation, place it into the frame, and voila!

5. Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Pumpkins

Pumpkins are usually what come to mind when thinking about the fall season. These chocolate covered marshmallow pumpkins are a great dessert for any fall event. Making the sweets can also be used as a great roommate bonding activity on a chilly fall night. They’re sure to add some fall spice to your life!

Supplies & Directions

• Large marshmallows
• 12 oz. white chocolate chips
• Orange food dye
• Lollipop sticks
• Chocolate chips and ribbon (optional decorations)

Stick a lollipop stick into each marshmallow and set out on wax paper. Place white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 10 seconds at a time, stirring after each interval until the chips are completely melted. Add in enough orange food dye to get the desired coloring for the pumpkins. Dip the marshmallows into the chocolate, coating the marshmallow.

If you want to make a green stem, use green ribbon to tie a knot at the top of each pumpkin. If you want to make a jack-o-lantern face, melt some chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and use a toothpick to decorate each pumpkin’s face.

6. Pumpkin Soap

This DIY project is not only cute, but it is also extremely practical. These adorable pumpkin-shaped soaps will make any bathroom smell amazing while adding some festive flair to the room. Not to mention, they make great gifts for friends and family.

Supplies & Directions

• Hard orange or white soap
• Twigs, cut into 1-inch pieces
• Cheese grater

Using the cheese grater, grate up all of the chosen soap. Place the grated soap in a bowl and add a little warm water. Grab a handful the size of the pumpkin you want to make and form a ball. Add water as needed to form and smooth out the ball. Once the ball is formed, shape it into a pumpkin! Try flattening it and indenting the ball at the top. Place a twig into the top of the pumpkin as a stem. Using a knife or the tip of a pencil, carve out the slits in the sides of the pumpkin.

We loved Jennifer Lawrence’s essay in Lenny Letter about the gender pay gap in Hollywood, but of course there has to be somebody who tries to put her down. When Kimberly Ross of RedState.com called Lawrence’s piece “a bratty display from a wealthy youngster,” the 25-year-old Oscar winner had the perfect response.

“Even after I wrote it, I don’t remember the website, but they called it ‘Jennifer Lawrence’s bratty display,’ and I was like, ‘Thank you for completely making my point,’” she said at a recent press conference promoting the release of Mockingjay Part 2. “If a woman speaks up, is assertive and has a voice, she’s going to be called ‘a brat.’ I don’t see a man being called ‘a brat.'”

Ms. Ross, we think your take on Jennifer Lawrence’s piece is all wrong. That she makes tens of millions of dollars each year—which she acknowledged in the essay by saying “I didn’t want to keep fighting over millions of dollars that, frankly, due to two franchises, I don’t need”—is not the point. The point is that, however much Hollywood deems her to be worth, it’s less than what they feel her male counterparts deserve. And when you try to silence the voice of someone like her, you not only prove her point, but you keep adding fuel to the fire.

18-year-old activist and 2014 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Malala Yousafzai is admired by people across the globe––even Emma Watson. At the premiere of her new film, He Named Me Malala, which documents Yousafzai's courageous life, the inspirational young woman sat down with Watson at the Into Film Festival to discuss feminism, her initial struggle with the term and what finally made her identify herself as a feminist.

"This word 'feminism,' it has been a very tricky word," said Yousafzai, when asked if men should be campaigning for womens' rights. "When I heard it the first time, I heard some negative responses and some positive ones, and I hestitated in saying am I a feminist or not."

Yousafzai continued, "And then, after hearing your speech, when you said, 'If not now, when? If not me, who?', I decided that there's nothing wrong with calling yourself a feminist, because feminism is another word for equality." 

The speech Yousafzai is refering to is Watson's 2014 HeForShe speech at the United Nations, where Watson is the UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. 

Watson was clearly touched by Yousafzai's words. "Wow, I am so moved to hear that," she responded. "That's absolutely amazing and I agree with you. It's become this really difficult word, but I think it's wonderful when people really do embrace it, because it should be synonymous with equality."

The opportunities are endless when it comes to styling your winter coat this year. You no longer need a closet of different coats to make an impact—one will do! It’s just all about the details. We partnered with Madden Girl at Kohl’s to show you three standard types of coats, the statement, the puffer and the cargo coat, and exactly what to pair with them to get the most mileage out of your outerwear this season.

1. The statement coat

You might think a statement coat, like this Madden Girl Juniors’ Faux Fur Jacket, can only be worn one way. Think again! You don’t have to be a fashion risk-taker to pull off this cozy chic look. On the left, we paired the faux fur jacket with the very fashion-forward fringe boots (the 70s are having a moment!) and a cozy patterned scarf—bold and feminine. But for the more utilitarian-style girls who don’t want a lot of fuss, the coat works also paired with a plaid flannel, jeans and these Madden Girl Flurryy Women’s Duck Boots.

2. The puffer coat

The puffer coat is a cold weather classic, and yours is sure to get a lot of use this winter! Here’s how to style it so you don’t get bored with the same old look: Make like a model off-duty with some cool shades, a shimmery baseball cap and lots of black and gray—save for the pop of color on your feet! We love the cozy versatility of the Madden Girl Jackmen Women’s Boots. If you prefer a more relaxed, hipster vibe, pair your Madden Girl Juniors’ Quilted Puffer Jacket with ripped jeans, patterned earmuffs, a fun scarf and duck boots. Easy and effortlessly chic!

3. The cargo coat

These Madden Girl coats look great dressed up or down. For your go-to-class cold weather uniform, pair your favorite jeans with the faux fur-lined Madden Girl Crrystal Women’s Fold-Over Boots with the Juniors’ Cargo Plus Hood Jacket (pockets for days!), a scarf and a warm sweater. The utilitarian-chic coat still looks great paired with girly clothes, too, though. We love it with a warm infinity scarf and a quirky dress.

This season, you only need one fab coat to make a statement! With trendy cold weather outerwear from Madden Girl at Kohl’s, you’re sure to have your chicest winter yet. 

If you're a curly-haired girl, you may be wondering why Apple hasn't created curly-haired emojis. Luckily, Dove took charge and created its own keyboard full of them!

"When 73 percent of people in this country claim to use emojis every day, they're very quickly becoming the new currency of communications," Unilever VP-Haircare Marketing Rob Candelino said.

One in three women in the U.S. have curly hair, and Candelino felt they should be able to have emojis that reflect that. Dove created the keyboard as a part of their Love Your Curls initiative.

You can download the Dove Love Your Curls Emojis keyboard on Google Play or the App Store—it's free! The keyboard includes a wealth of diversity, with options to choose between different skin colors, hair lengths and even a curly-haired baby.

As part of the initiative, Dove even partnered with Twitter to make a curly-haired girl appear every time you use the hashtag #LoveYourCurls.

We couldn't be happier! Have you downloaded the new emojis, collegiettes?

In a 4-1 decision, the Mexican Supreme Court took a step towards possible marijuana legalization on Thursday. 

Four plaintiffs won their case arguing for the right to hold their marijuana club, the Mexican Society for Responsible and Tolerant Personal Consumption. The Supreme Court declared that in this case, banning the possession, sale and use of marijuana was unconstitutional.

People celebrated by smoking weed outside of the courthouse after the decision was announced.

While the ruling does not legalize the drug, it could be the gateway to its future legalization. Mexican citizens are not as into legalization as Americans—77 percent of Mexicans are opposed to the idea of legal cannabis sale and use, compared to 20 percent who support it, according to Cosmopolitan. 

One of the plaintiffs, Armando Santacruz, expressed the idea that marijuana legalization would weaken the power of the Mexican drug cartels. 

“Bad regulation is better than whatever regulation El Chapo [the infamous drug lord Joaquin Guzman] and the narcos can provide,” Santacruz said, according to TIME.

John Walsh, senior associate at human rights group Washington Office on Latin America noted that legalization of marijuana in the U.S. would have a similar effect, though in the grand scheme of things it wouldn't be fatal to the cartels. 

“In the long run, as the U.S. legalizes marijuana, Mexico is going to have a tough time competing with lawful American suppliers,” Walsh said in an interview with the New York Times. “That doesn’t mean they won’t have a business plan, it’s just that marijuana will be removed from it.”

Just last week, authorities found a super tunnel for smuggling drugs across the border stretching about half a mile between Tijuana and San Diego containing at least 12 tons of illegal marijuana—a value of about $6 million. 

Full legalization of the drug would require that the court either have a vote of at least eight out of 11 approving judges, or vote the same way five times. Same-sex marriage in Mexico was legalized following a similar path to the one that marijuana legalization could be on now. 

Getting yourself ready in the morning may soon become a little more bearable thanks to an invention for canned hot coffee from Shark Tank alum Danny Grossfield. Already a hit product in Japan, Grossfield’s version of canned hot coffee, which he named HotShot, will soon launch in the United States thanks to Kickstarter campaign and support from private investors, according to Business Insider.

Grossfield’s product involves both the cans of coffee themselves, the HotShots, as well as sort of mini fridge called The Hotbox, which radiates 140-degree heat to keep the beverages warm. Small and portable, The Hotbox will come in three colors and has a nifty handle for optimum travel. You’ll also be able to choose from four flavors: Espresso, French Vanilla, Caramel and Hot Chocolate, with coffee made from 100% Arabica beans from Sumatra. Don’t feel bad about ditching your porcelain mug for a can though—HotShot will use 70 percent recycled material for each aluminum can.

If you want to get a jump on this new product before it hits the market, you can pre-order a starter kit that contains one HotBox and 12 cans of HotShot for $69.99. The kits will be in January, just in time for those winter mornings when a trek to Starbucks just seems unbearable. Second semester just got a whole lot better!

As if we needed another reason to be excited for the holidays, Kate Spade just gave us one more: the brand’s festive holiday campaign video!

The video, which was directed by Mari Heller of The Diary of a Teenage Girl and stars Anna Kendrick and Zosia Mamet, is part of Kate Spade’s #MissAdventure video series featuring Anna and her dog Milos on their various misadventures. (Ha, see what they did there?) The latest installment, “The Joy Ride,” is the cutest yet.

If you haven't seen it yet, here's what goes down: Anna and Zosia, with their arms full of shopping bags, run into each other as they end up in that awkward situation we've all been in: whose Uber is it? In the spirit of the holidays, they decide to share their ride—but things go a little awry when their driver abandons their car!

It’s basically everything we love about the holidays: meeting both new and old friends at holiday parties, shopping for gifts for our friends and family and getting decked out in plenty of sparkle. As if we'd expect anything less from Kate Spade, a brand that always seems to nail it when it comes to those merry and bright vibes! Oh, and it amazingly showcases all of the pieces from the Kate Spade holiday collection, which naturally, we are now totally obsessed with.

The 4-minute campaign video matches perfectly with the brand’s holiday ad campaign, which was released a few weeks ago, and also is also full of fashionable familiar faces in festive scenes... Karlie Kloss and Derek Blasberg, anyone?

In short, as usual, Kate Spade is our holiday #goals this year.

Whether you’re ready to support your team alongside thousands of drunk college football fans or just create a few more Snapchat stories to share with your friends, game-day tailgates are perfect for socializing, having fun and, most importantly, eating food.

Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered with a few healthy tailgate foods that will have you and your body feeling like champs.

1. Buffalo Hummus

You can never go wrong with hummus. This is a great alternative for fatty cheese dips, especially if you eat the hummus with celery or carrots. The recipe livens up the dip and gives it a little spicy kick.

• ¼ cup buffalo wing sauce
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

3. Eat with celery, carrots or pita bread.

2. Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

So it’s not buffalo chicken, but nobody said it didn’t taste just as good! On top of all of the fiber that these cauliflower bites are loaded with, they carry just as much flavor as regular buffalo wings.

6. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
7. For the buffalo sauce, melt the butter and hot sauce in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat.

9. Stir until each cauliflower bite has been coated in the sauce.
10. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.

3. Pulled Turkey Chili

Using turkey instead of ground beef will give you just as much flavor in this chili but not nearly as much fat.

Recipe from POPSUGAR Fitness

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons virgin coconut oil or palm oil (or extra-virgin olive oil if you have neither)
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 5 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 ½ teaspoon Celtic sea salt
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste

• 2 cups kidney beans
• 2 cups black beans
• 2 cups frozen corn kernels
• ¼ cup flaxseed meal

Directions:

1. Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, salt, chili powder and oregano and cook, stirring until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and the chipotle chile and sauce; cook about 1 minute more.
2. Add the turkey and beer and simmer until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and the beans and corn; bring to a boil. Add flax.
3. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick, 30 minutes.

4. Vegan Brownies

At only 158 calories, the secret ingredient to this treat is zucchini. (Yes, you read that right!) These brownies are just as tasty but are healthier than regular chocolate brownies.

Recipe from POPSUGAR Fitness

Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole-wheat flour
• 1 cup raw sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

3. Place the zucchini in a food processor and puree it as much as you can. Add in the oil and vanilla extract and puree until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms.
5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
6. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7. Cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting.

Consider these recipes the next time you head to a tailgate, and your body will thank you later. Happy game day, collegiettes!

If you could have a beer with anyone who isn't a politician, who would it be?

Well, for Senator Marco Rubio, this answer is harder than you think. 

Rubio claims he would like to have a beer with Malala Yousafzai, the inspiring 18-year-old Pakistani activist who survived a shot to the head from the Taliban. The Florida senator, who is currently running for president as a Republican, shared this at his Q&A for young professionals held at St. Anslem College in New Hampshire on Wednesday, according to Gawker. 

This wasn't the best answer Rubio could have given—Not only is Malala three years under the U.S. drinking age, she's also a practicing Muslim, and therefore can't drink alcohol regardless of age.

So what does this mean for collegiettes? For one, it shows us that while Rubio does know the name of one of the most influential and inspiring teens on the planet, he seemed to choose Malala as a cheap trick to show voters that he knows who she is. Whether Rubio had good intentions or is completely unaware of Malala's actual age and story is too soon to tell. But we know one thing for sure: This wasn't Rubio's shining moment.

What are your thoughts, and will Malala respond? Let us know what you think!
