Ex. The excitement I had grew exponentially after that, as I wanted to know what would happen next to me and my friends.

This one is the correct sentence.

Try substituting the conjunction and in place of as.

The excitement I had grew exponentially after that, and I wanted to know what would happen next to me and my friends.
