sass and she loves to party and drink…a LOT. Holly currently lives at home with her parents. Instead
of joining the work force after graduating with Leslie and Camilla, she stayed in school for several
years and has earned enough degrees (and debt) to start her own university. To shut her parents up,

parents but her actions say otherwise – LEAD (3 days)
