Jittery or not?

I am hardly the poster girl for caffeine. Until this semester, I never liked coffee or tea, so - during the few occasions when I really needed that extra jolt - I just drank a soda. My natural tolerance is so low that when I first chugged a whole bottle of Coke to power through a paper, I ended up being so jittery that the guy next to me must have thought I was on something stronger. As you might imagine, this means energy drinks are totally out of the question for me. I think if I tried one, I would give Flubber a run for its money, considering how much I would be bouncing off the walls. But even though I was proud of my low-to-no caffeine stance, I must confess that I felt left out of a big part of college culture.
