3. Worst Experience on Burnout

My worst experience on burnout was on my first March semester of Mechanical engineering in Taylors. Since secondary school, I already know that I am not mastering with Additional Mathematic subjects. Then, the physics knowledge is totally new for me. AND! The group project is driving me crazy, they not doing things, procrastinate, I am the only one who talking in the group chat.

All this things already reach my maximum limit. The main reasons I breaks my limit is I have a part time job which limit my time on study and bring extremely pain to me for being standing 8 hours in the restaurant and walk 1 km long bridge to work and back home every working day. I have part time job was due to insufficient living cost. My leg become worst at the end of the semester that I have to visit the clinic for leg treatment. On the additional mathematics final exam, I was devastated. Even though I had done a lot of revision before the exam and looked up some past year questions to do, I couldn't write anything. I kept trying to keep myself from crying out and forced myself to write everything I knew, whatever right or wrong. It was also the first exam in my life that I left early.

After that semester, I was deep in self-doubt, feeling that I couldn't do anything and that I was useless. Non-stop crying, massive hair loss and a huge loss of appetite. I also fell into an abyss of despair. This is really a hard time for me in my life. It took me a while to find my way after return my hometown to my family and have many day of conversation with them. Luckily, I had supportive family that I was able to recover from burnout. The most obvious after-effects that brought me back now were the symptoms of anorexia that I started to experience.

5. Storyboard

In Figure 1.1, it is a visual character designed by my teammate, inspired by the red beans that were brought up during our meeting. After deciding on the character design, we started planning our storyboard visual graphics.
