I just swallowed a hair rubber band and i'm really scared. i also unsuccessfully tried to cough and throw it up. am i going to be okay?

You will be fine: Take a deep breath and relax. If all you swallowed was a rubber band then your body will just pass it right through. Just think of it as a big piece of calamari.
