I would say two things:

A) Your health whether it is physical or mental, is more important than any number you will receive throughout the year, and it really isn't worth destroying what you have built up.

B) Follow you instincts. I made the mistake of believe that I could do well of just doing assigned work (which was already a very high workload). No, what earlier me should have done from the start, was to a little extra work everyday so that it never built up and became overwhelming. It's easier to do something for 10 minutes everyday, then 10 hours a day for two weeks straight.

It's okay to have a day of unproductivity every now and again, and don't feel so harsh on yourself over it!

SHUT DOWN YOUTUBE!  :D Or at least, avoid it as much as possible for non school-related content, in order to prevent yourself from finding lots of new great channels. This will only be temporary until the HSC is over.

1. To enjoy every moment
2. To not stress over things I cannot control.

- Give Riggy lots of pats because you’ll miss him (but you’ll get to meet lots of other cool dogs later)
- It’s okay if it takes five goes to do something that should be very basic, you’ll get there in the end
- Start your assignments early so that you’re prepared for any unexpected happenings closer to the due date
- Don’t cough in front of paramedics during a pandemic (although it makes for a funny story at least)
- Maybe just skip the paramedics entirely and try and figure out how to ask for help yourself.
- Enjoy the opportunities available to you whilst they’re there, you never know when something is going to take away the possibility of doing it in the future
- A hospital is better at fixing never ending sadness than alcohol is.

Suicidal and drunk Morgan coughed in an ambulance because I’d been throwing up and was put in the coronavirus section of the acute ward. It was a very unpleasant and scary night but I find it funny now (and tbf I thought it was a bit of an experience at the time too).

This one is tricky but I'd have to say be careful what you wish for! Every time I head to campus, I would say things like "wish I didn't have to do this bloody trek", "I only have one class today so what's the point of even coming here" or "if I only I could just study at home." I would definitely advise my early 2020 self to take all of those words back in a heartbeat because you really don't know what you miss until it's gone so enjoy things while they last!

PROMPT: If you could give yourself at the start of the year advice based on what you know now, what would it be?

- Actually make plans with people while you can. Video chats are nice but it's not the same as seeing people face to face
- Invest in good devices instead of wasting your money on things such as clothes and makeup. You have so many clothes and makeup already- invest in devices that could help kickstart your career! (looking for a drawing tablet right now to purchase hello)
- Hug your friends a lot more; I really miss hugging my friends
- Stop complaining about your job. It might be shit to work at a pharmacy previously but now- I'm grateful that I have still have my job when some of my friends have been forced to leave Sydney and return to their towns. Being an essential worker at this time helps me balance the pandemic that's happening now and my life prior to the pandemic.
- Go on campus instead of "studying" at home. You're missing out on the unique studying environment on campus and the facilities that you have access to.
- Really focus your energy on the people that really matter
- Appreciate the outdoors a lot more instead of being on your computer 24/7
- Bruh just really appreciate the taste of spaghetti while you can. There was a month gap where I didn't eat pasta because of the panic buyers and that made me sad because spaghetti is one of my favourite meals ahaha.
- Be honest with people and be yourself (so cheesy but it's true)
Which will hold greater rule over you? Your fear or your curiosity?

Haha, actually not too bad! I didn't even feel anything hit my head, as the helmet was fantastic. I dislocated and fractured my right arm, my right side was purple from bruising for a bit, and I was limping for a few weeks, but that's about it. Other than a few minor scars on my arm and knee, you can't even tell I was an idiot!
