How many times in your life do you get a chance to relive it, and undo a mistake? Well, this is your chance...The Muse is opening a small window of time for all students who didn't get their writing or artwork to us in the fall semester to submit it now. Yes, you still have a chance, but it's absolutely your last chance to get your work published in the premier arts magazine in Colorado. But you'll have to act fast: our deadline--and I mean deadline--is Friday the 13th! Get it done, people, before the 13th. Simply go to the Arapahoe Home page and look under Activities for the Muse web page, where you'll find the directions on how to submit.
