"College life ain't so bad so far," laughs Alex's mom, Becky Rolfsrud. She sends along these photos of Alexander's first day in the dorm at Minnesota State University Mankato.
Actually, the photo above was taken on his Mankato aunt and uncle's leisure deck, overlooking the pond. They have put three through college and understand the stress and challenges facing a newly-minted freshman.
Below is Alex's roommate, Travis... and an unidentified friend. (It's still hard for Stan to get used to the idea that women are allowed in men's dorms. How ancient is that?) Becky is confident her son will soon buckle down and hit the books. He's already got a job.
