The list of nicknames that have stemmed from my given name of Marygrace is actually quite long when I think about it. The most obvious but least used nickname being Mg, while other names such as Mig and Mur are what dominate people’s minds when they speak to me. Other nicknames have come and gone such Pigeon and Magnesium. However, overall each nickname I have gone or go by represents an important part of my life.

My other forgotten nickname Pigeon, hasn’t been used since my sophomore year. It was another theater nickname given to me by a senior who would call me Migeon Pigeon. It was a happy time in my life and Lily and my best friend at the time would be the two people who called me that. But now as a senior two years later, neither of these two people are in my life anymore. One just being because of time and the other being more heart breaking. It represents a time where I thought we would be friends for the rest of our lives but now there’s nothing left between
