Anyway, I know how you feel caboose, I've felt that way all my life. Not much to be done really.
It's perfectly normal to leave school with no idea of the future. When you stop and think about it, school life doesn't really prepare you for Real Life; it's well regulated, there's not much freedom and you can beat up the teachers. If you don't have any idea What You Want To Do, just worry about getting a temp job. Chances are you'll hate it so much that it'll help you realise what you want.
My suggestion, in all honesty, is dont go to college. Why blow money you don't have if your not ready for it?
Get off your rear, get a job (maybe at a place like GameStop) - work a bit in the "real world" - and then once your sick of that, then go to College (or tech school if you are so inclined).
Another popular option is the military - they will whip you into shape.
Keep in mind that you can't succeed if you don't have a goal, and you can't have a goal if you wallow in depression. You won't feel better about yourself until you choose to do something about it. I learned that lesson the hard way, and almost took my own life because of it. In the end, either I found God, or he found me, and through whatever means, I have a purpose now.
You've got to find yours sometime. Maybe that time is now?

Nothing you can do though, don’t live your life waiting for a big moment, live it as you would normally, nothing can change fate.
What we are waiting for is some thing to come to unite us into some thing to work for a purpose you an exsample ww2 it united the world in a fight agaisnt nazism it made heros (i am not saying nazism is good nor was ww2 is was a grous war) but i know what you all mean you want to be united to fight fore some thing you believe in to proove not just your self but others and live on very hard to put down but i know how you feel <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Think about eveyone you know, think about what they would be doing if you never existed. First think of the little things, then think of what they would be doing instead and what might happen and watch as your mind riples out into what could have been.

Dude, you're in your last few months of High School, stop giving a ****. You got into the College you wanted to, right? As long as you pass the rest of your classes and graduate, it looks like you're still on the right track. You should be looking forward to College, anyway. We all know High School sucks and doesn't really prepare you that well for the real world, but College is bound to be a bit different. At least you'll be able to take courses you'll enjoy and have a ton more freedom.
As far as paying for College goes, if you need it, you're going to get a whole bunch of FAFSA financial aid money. My sister got freakin boatloads of it, and we're a fairly middle class family. Don't forget scholarship money from all sorts of sources, probably even from the College itself.
Now is not a time to stress over this. You should be having a blast your senior year.
