Recommended: Frightening experience introduction

When I was 8 years old we went to universal studios. I was having the time of my life. Then I saw a ride that caught my eye. It was called the “revenge of the mummy.” The name of the ride sounded really cool. I asked my mom, “Can I go on the ride?” She said, “Are you sure, it’s really scary. I did not really like scary rides but I excitingly said, “YEAH!!!!” She said, “If you say so.” We darted to the line before more people came and we waited, and wait, and wait. We were waiting in line for over two hours. As I was waiting in line anticipation was building up inside me. My body was not meant to do nothing but stand in line for 2 hours. I just wanted to get on the ride. I read the safety manual for the ride and it said that, “This is a high speed r |rollercoaster which includes the following: …show more content…

I got so terrified, I felt like I was going to fly out of the kart at a million miles an hour. The wind was so intense that everyone's cheeks were waving in the cart. I closed my eyes for a few seconds then I felt that the cart slowed down. I opened my eyes in relief and I saw that I was going up a slope, but at the top of the slope there was a wall. That only meant one thing, “AHHH!” We were going to go back down the slope backwards. As I was going up the slope I was thinking about how it would be like to go backwards really fast! When we made it to the top there were spiders crawling on me. I was crossing my fingers to give me good luck when I was going to fly back. Then the cart blasted backward, it went so fast that it felt like there was a million insects crawling under my skin. My mom teasingly said “are you having fun!” I sarcastically said

    Should alcohol be considered a drug?. The columnist, Anna Quindlen, discusses this question with a strong position in her article "The drug that pretends it isn 't", published on April 9, 2000. During her argument Quindlen tries to convince her audience with rhetorical features about her concerns with alcohol, referring to it as a "habitual drug of choice". In a very supportive organization of her claim, she emphasizes that alcohol is a substance that facilitates terrible consequences to the public and for this reason, she justifies that it should be banned .

  • MDMA: The History and Effects of the Drug Known as Ecstasy

    1980 Words  | 4 Pages

    Happiness can mean many different things to many different people. A hard worker may define it as completing a difficult task. A hopeless romantic may define it as finding true love. A religious person may define it as achieving a specific level of spirituality. Webster’s definition of happiness is “good fortune; a state of well-being and contentment; a pleasurable or satisfying experience.” Some synonyms included for happiness are bliss, felicity, joy, and ecstasy. It is therefore obvious how the euphoria-inducing amphetamine relates to its name. People that are uneducated in the area of drugs may associate ecstasy only with the issue of substance abuse. However, to fully understand ecstasy and all its related topics, it is vital to identify the chemical structure and history of MDMA, the corresponding effects, and then the recreational abuse.

    I waited in line for nearly an hour and a half. I finally reached the entrance and I was asked to raise my arms, while I was patted down and my pockets, socks and cigarettes were checked. I felt like I was about to meet the President, with the intense security. As I finally entered the club, the suspense began to rise. This was my first time at a rave party. I looked around and saw people dressed in colorful, bright clothing, holding glow sticks and bottles of water. The music was incredible: loud, energetic and throbbing with bass. The party was called "Adrenaline," and lasted until 8:00 a.m. People were dancing all around and the place was packed. It was extremely difficult to make a trip to the bathroom or attempt to buy a drink. My friends and I decided to check out the place before began our journey into the rave scene. Every room had a different D.J., which made this party particularly diverse. As we are walking through, at least ten different people, all males, asked me if I was looking for any pills. My answer was no, for all of the above, but to my amazement these people never gave up. I couldn't believe the risk the "ravers" were taking to make some cash.

  • The History of Ecstasy

    MDMA, also known as Ecstasy, beans, rolls, or just plain X. This drug has a long history, which began almost 90 years ago. In 1912 Merck, a German pharmaceutical company, first synthesized MDMA (Erowid). MDMA was then patented in 1913 or maybe 1914 (patent #274.350) by the same German company supposedly to be sold as a diet pill (The Invention). The patent has no mention of any intended uses of the drug. There are other urban legends associated with Ecstasy, such as in 1953 the US Army tested MDMA as a possible truth serum, but there is no evidence for this (Saunders).

  • Essay On DMT

    Smoking DMT is a life changing event. Although it is highly illegal, it is also harmless and produced naturally within the brain. Sadly, many people have never even heard of DMT, and therefore may be highly uninformed of the drug, if they know anything about it at all. Also, due to it being illegal, it is very hard for research to be done on the drug. DMT is no ‘party drug’; it is absolutely not to be used simply for the purpose of ‘tripping out’. It is to be used for a spiritual experience, to become one with the universe, and truly find yourself.

    With music blasting, voices singing and talking, it was another typical ride to school with my sister. Because of our belated departure, I went fast, too fast. We started down the first road to our destination. This road is about three miles long and filled with little hills. As we broke the top of one of the small, blind hills in the middle of the right lane was a dead deer. Without any thought, purely by instinct I pulled the wheel of the car to the left and back over to the right. No big deal but I was going fast. The car swerved back to the left, to the right, to the left. Each time I could feel the car scratching the earth with its side. My body jolted with the sporadic movements of the car. The car swerved to the right for the last time. With my eyes sealed tight, I could feel my body float off the seat of the car.

    I jumped out of the car with my two sisters and ran to the bathroom. When we left the bathroom, we walked back to the car. We saw that our dad was still putting gas in the car, so we went into the store to buy some sweets. I bought “warheads” that said extremely sour, and a bag of chips called “baked with fire” that looked like they would taste really hot. When we purchased our food, we walked back to the car. As soon as we started driving, I opened my bag of chips. I was so scared that they would be extremely hot. For that reason, I also bought a bottle of water. I opened it before I took a bite out of the chip. Luckily, they were not hot at all! I grabbed my sour candy and tasted it. My face changed so quickly; that I started to squint my eyes and point my lips. I could not take another bite of it because it was really sour! Eventually, I was not hungry anymore. Probably because I ate my whole bag of chips and a sandwich. When I finished eating, I was feeling exhausted, so I took a long nap. I woke up, and dad told me that we only needed to drive for one more hour. While we were driving through town, we saw a row of trees on fire! It was so smoky that we could barely see the street we were driving on. I felt scared for life and terrified that we might crash. After a few more minutes of driving, the smoke cleared up and we could see again. Finally, the hour passed and we arrived in California. Mrs.
