I Need Bicycle Advice

So, as much as I love my Schwinn Jaguar Cruiser, I need to sell it and get a new bike.

My Schwinn is only a 7 speed. That fact, along with the upright position in which you sit upon the bike, makes it extremely difficult for me to bike around my hilly university neighborhood.

I'm thinking about getting a road bike with the thin tires and low handlebars, or one of those bikes that kind of looks like a mountain bike, but probably isn't, with thicker tires and low handlebars. As you can see, I don't really know much about bikes.

I need something that is light weight and that has like 12-20 gears.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
