The first round-up of our favorite photos submitted to Wildcat Welcome: According to You finds Wildcats scoring battle scars at the Keg, eyeing frosh on Deering Meadow, and wandering China (?!). Check out the submissions after the jump, and find out how to submit your own tweets/texts/photos/videos here.

There’s nothing that screams freshman year quite like getting rejected from the glorious institution that is the Keg of Evanston. While many in the Class of 2015 may have yet to discover TKOE (“What do you mean the black light scanner is really a soap dispenser,” we imagine them exclaiming in disbelief), the establishment wasn’t foreign Monday night to an NU student who submitted this photo (but requested anonymity for obvious reasons). The intriguing caption attached: “What happens when you attempt to scale the now fixed fence outside the Keg after failing to get in using a WildCARD.” Now that’s the kind of dedication we expect from a Northwestern student.

This particular panorama was submitted by Intel staffer and RTVF sophomore Demetrios Cokinos. Get a good look now because you won’t be seeing this group together again until graduation.

Yes, we realize this isn’t exactly Evanston and this isn’t entirely on-topic, but it was too good to pass up. Weinberg junior Nathan Rosenstock captured this photo while spending time this week in Beijing. In his own words: “It’s a naked baby with a cigarette. And it’s real. And I saw it. I was on my way to volunteer at a migrant kindergarten in Beijing when the attached image caught my eye. At first, I believed it was an illusion. Regardless, I quickly snapped a picture before uncomfortably skirting off on my way.” Thanks, Nate! Glad we could be of service.
