Meet Erin

Erin Long is a lot like America’s next top model, but better. She loves to hitch a ride with her mom to Costco in order to walk around and eat all of the free samples. When she isn’t eating, she is usually found trying to exercise, but literally can’t. She loves to shop, but doesn't have a job, and is too poor to buy anything. She is such a savage that most people skip the “E” in her name and just call her “Rin” on the streets. Binge watching entire television shows on Netflix is her number one hobby, right along side her vast knowledge of celebrity couples and dreams of those “relationship goals” she will never have.

This is a piece of cookie and cream pie held by Senior Alexa Field.

This dessert is provided by Taher, along with many more.
