Ice Cubes Addiction Simulation
My 48 hour ice cube addiction simulation turned out to be very different than what i had expected. I don't put an ice cubes in my water cup at all. So my ice maker in the freezer is always empty. So I have to keep the ice maker full of ice cubes to use it in my addiction simulation. My first hour in the 48 hours simulation I was trying to fill my water bottle with ice cubes. I spilled some of ice cubes on the floor. My dad got suspicious when I filled a water bottle full of ice cubes, because I'm not used to put an ice cubes in my water bottle. My dad yelled at me and asked me why I needed that much ice anyways. I said that I needed to keep my water cold. He said we have a cold bottles in the refrigerator. I said it's better to drink water with ice cubes, he looked at me and said you weren't do that before. I said yeah, but i just want to try it. He didn't believe what i said. So it was so hard to keep my ice cubes addiction from my dad, and my friends also. My friend Johne when he saw my water bottle full of ice cubes, he kept asking me about, and made it very difficult for me to try to come up with a descent lie. It's easy to see how all the lies of an addiction can destroy a relationship and cause multiple problems. I noticed that the next morning while I was sitting in my room I was very thirsty even though I never am. I need a cup of water full with ice cubes, but my dad is sitting in the living room, and he can watch what i'm doing in the kitchen. I planned to get ice cubes in a smart way. I said dad I'll prepare the breakfast. I went to the kitchen and I started to prepare the breakfast, when my dad was watching the TV I turned on the microwave and I opened the freezer softly, and I kept looking to my dad if he realized what I'm doing. I filled my cup with ice cubes and water and I put it in a bag and I hid it under the couch. I must have gotten a little caught up in the whole ice addiction and started to want to drink the ice water. 2 days were easy to hide

    Abstract: Cold packs are based on the principle of endothermic reactions, which means a reaction that absorbs heat from the surrounding resulting in a temperature drop. Due to this temperature drop, cold packs have many benefits when it comes to injuries such as sprains and strains. It cools the local tissue and reduces bleeding, swelling and pain. It also aids in a speedy recovery. The most commonly used chemical in instant cold packs is ammonium nitrate which will be tested in the investigation along with four other chemicals in water. These other chemicals include potassium nitrate, potassium chloride, sodium acetate and sodium chloride. The two lowest chemicals will then be mixed together at different concentration ratios to see if this drops the temperature further. The chemical/s the produce the lowest temperatures will be tested and compared against a normal frozen cold pack.…

    I have known for a long time that I have an addictive nature, as I tend to become very focused on something I like and buy or accumulate as much as I can whether I need it or not. I did not want to say, however, I was addicted to food for a long time. I would rationalize my binges on sugary things as a “BIG sweet tooth” and blame my parents for it, inherited you know! The past few years it has gotten to be a problem at times. I have come to the realization, it is not my parents who created the problem but me. I am the one who loves anything sweet and cannot seem to stop at just one piece of candy but a whole bag. I am the one who continues to buy them in mass quantities and to sit at night in front of my computer and finish them off. I am the one, when depressed, or sad, or angry, who goes to buy more and eats until the bags are gone. Then I have major migraines from the coming off the sugar high, and I say I am NEVER going to do that again, only to do it again.…

    North of Alaska, ripples scattered over the water as the small 'u' shaped trawler glided through the shivering water. As Summer swept through, the mountains with the remains of snow enclosed the lake, distant from the open sea. A small gulley was the only way to access the unknown feverish water. A thin layer of ice sat clumsily on the cool liquid. As the humble boat pierced through the slender layer of ice, it parted with ease leaving a slushy mix on the surface. Calmly, the middle aged man walked to the bow lowering the now ancient anchor. As ancient as the anchor so was the boat. White paint peeled from the side and hull, the raw timber now exposed. As the man walked across the decaying boards they screamed in protest. The man, Tim Kolveski,…

    I am a very forgetful person. I can lose things within minutes and have absolutely no idea as to where it is. Consequently, being that person can be very tough because no one really trust you with their belongings, you lose everything and it becomes very frustrating, etc. So it is very of the norm for me to causally misplace my phone. One day while leaving the mall after a day of handing out with friends I realized I misplaced my phone. I didn’t really give it much thought because this is a normal habit for me. However, it wasn’t until I got home that I realized, “I really don’t have my phone.” I went straight into panic mode because I realized that it could be anywhere, with anyone. After about forty-five minutes of crying and searching,…

    Every 2 weeks after service, my church hosts breakfast for anyone who wants to come. My dad and I would normally attend these events, because he was too lazy to make breakfast on his own. Well on this particular chilly morning in autumn, it was my church’s turn to host breakfast, and as routine, my dad and I go and serve ourselves a cup of coffee and we also grab a bagel. While I sat and ate this bagel I couldn’t stop thinking about this man and how he how he was doing considering it was in the low 40’s that morning. The more I thought about it, the more I felt sorry for this man. I needed to find Steven, my youth pastor who also normally came to breakfast, to tell him about this man. I knew there had to be something I could do to help him, even if it just was getting Steven to go over there and talk to him and offer him some breakfast because I was too scared to approach this man.…

    I had never felt this way before. I assumed it was from something I ate earlier. When my mom got done paying we had to go through those big long metal things that detect if you stole something. As I approached the metal detectors my legs began trembling slowly I walked through surprised that nothing happened I quickly exited the store. During the car ride home I was excited to put my foamy purple butterfly on my wall. As soon as I got home that feeling in my stomach returned. I ignored it and put up my butterfly. I gazed at is for a few seconds. I then went to my mother in complete shame of the foolish action that I had just done. I confessed my secret to her. I told her that I didn't want to go to jail and that I would go back to the store and return the butterfly with her. My mom was quiet for a few seconds. She then started yelling at me “Maham what were you thinking how could you steal. Yes I know a sticker isn't a big thing but still you have done something very bad and I hope you realize that you can get sent to jail for stealing. I am glad that you told me but you need to promise me that you will not do something like this ever again.” My eyes started to sparkle and in the quietest voice I said “I’m sorry mommy I didn't think it was a big deal but now I know it is I am so sorry I won't ever do it again.” Tears started to roll down my face and my mother hugged me and comforted me. This was the first and last time that I would steal. I have learned my lesson and understand that next time there could be bigger consequences. Even though I didn’t steal anything big it was still bad because it can affect my character. Also getting caught would be terrible it could ruin my life. I wouldn’t be considered trustworthy. I am glad that I have learned my lesson early on and not…

    My eyes felt heavy and dry from staring at my phone for so long. I know I should have been studying for my science test, but I procrastinated, so I continued to keep my dazed eyes glued to the bright screen. When I rarely looked up from my phone, I noticed that day was withering away, as it was becoming more and more deep into the night, with the sun replaced by the moon in the star-filled sky. After just simply turning my neck to my window, I felt stiff from staying in the same position, being too lazy to get up out of my comfortable fuzzy chair. At this point, I knew I had to start studying, but instead I kept playing Candy Crush. My mom always told me to put down my phone, but I never listened..…
