I am at the cross-roads of choosing my future Or choosing if I should go to college.School has never been easy for me,if fact I'll go so bold to say it has made me crazy. I think I am going to do some soul seaching,get married,travel a bit.Has anyone done this before?

Edit/add on + fixing mistake.
 
     
 
College isn't for everyone.

Although I would plan on working some kind of job.

Soul-searching isn't free.
     
The best thing to do is do some soulmate searching in college. You'll get an education for a somewhat secure future AND have a wide range of potential good boyfriends to choose from.

Due to your vague grammar/use of words, you are either looking for a soulmate or looking for souls and getting "merry"...I can't tell D:
 
     
 
That's cool, but you're not likely to get any kind of job your can live off of with just a high school diploma. Plan at least on getting some kind of certification or going to technical school at some point. Or marrying rich, whatever works.

If that's what you truly want, no reason not to go for it. However, you sound a bit young to be deciding your fate - especially if the only reason you're not going to college is that it's too hard. College would open many, many doors for you, and you could still get married in or after college, or drop out of college for something else if it doesn't work. This is not true of marriage, which would close doors instead and cannot be easily undone if it turns out you were wrong about it.
 
     
When I die, I want to go surrounded by people who will never, ever, ride that rollercoaster ride again.

 
College isn't for everyone, but note that without a college education, statistically you'll make 50% less than those with them.

I do plan on getting a job with a cruise line because I get pay and travel
     
there are some blue collar jobs that get paid well,
but right now its very hard to find a job without going to college first.
i highly suggest you go.
 
     
You can tell people the truth, but they'll never believe you until the event. Until it's too late. In the meantime, the truth will just piss them off and get you in a lot of trouble..

This.
I'm also wondering if you have a job or have ever had a job.

If not, you definitely need to try that out. Working a minimum wage job really makes you want to go to college.

Most people did, so it isn't a problem, hun. :]
I dunno, we LDers are much more intelligent than those of the GD.
 
     
I went to McDonalds. I bought a Big Mac.
I bit the Big Mac and it bit me back.
I said, "Hey Lady, what's the deal?"
Then she slapped me in the face with a happy meal.

Comment if you think this poem is epic.
 
Figure out how you're going to survive and then do it. Maybe that will involve college and maybe it won't, but you're going to need to have something to offer or you might be doing very hard work for very little money for way too long.
