Tea, caffeine gum or breath mints, caffeine pills...

Worst thing you could do to your body is OD on caffeine.. I did it at work once. Took a couple No Doz pills with a 20 oz. of Coke, with no food in my system, and nearly left in an ambulance. Since I had no time off, I stayed there, and was loopy, dizzy, unfocused, and almost entirely incapacitated.

Honestly, trust your body. It hates the taste of caffeinated stuff, which means it doesn't want it. Don't go tricking it by taking it via alternate methods.

If you really want to stay awake and live to see your 30th birthday, I suggest more natural stuff. Seek out herbal remedies with ingredients like ginger and cinammon. They boost your natural metabolism, are cheaper than caffeine, and a lot healthier. Check out a local Whole Foods or Wild Oats or something, and talk to someone in an appropriate aisle... they're put there because they know what they're talking about, and can suggest some useful stuff based on your individual situation.

Keep your diet balanced, and exercise as regularly as possible. If your school has a gym, stop by on the way to class in the morning. Don't overexert yourself, but get your body warmed up and used to moving. And don't forget to use your time out.. You're less likely to be grumpy if you go out with your friends until you're tired. You'll be in a better mood when you fall asleep, which is directly linked to getting a more restful sleep, and waking up in a better mood.

I hate most energy drinks. They taste like pesticide to me. But you should try the orange Rockstar. It's 50% or 70% real juice (different cans claim different percentages for some reason) so it tastes really good. Plus a 16oz can has about 300mg of caffeine compared to 80mg in an 8oz can of Red Bull (aka pesticide).

Aside from that caffeine pills would be the way to go, totally tasteless. I used them for awhile but it just seems dangerous to get that much caffeine so easily into your system.

There's this crystal lite energy drink mix it's flavored like wild strawberry, but it tastes more like watermelon to me. It's like fruit punch with caffeine. Most colas have caffeine too.

if you do a cardio workout (like running) for at least 30mins a day, it totally boosts your energy, and thus your waking hours.... just get 5 hours of sleep everyday, eat well balanced meal and exercise... that will keep you up and feeling great too! it works for me.. and i've never had caffeine

Exercising regularly can increase your energy tremendously. And also, I know its hard, but keeping a regular sleep schedule will help too. And those ways are all natural!
