Perhaps, as mentioned above, you just aren't the "book learning" type.
I tried college 3 times and left each time bored out of my mind. Every professor had gone to school, got their credential, and gone back to school to teach.
I'd been a crab fisherman in Alaska at 15, sailed to Hawaii and back several times, been to war and traveled extensively; college just wasn't my scene.
I would suggest you finish the semester doing the absolute best you can, while working as much as you can to save money, then go out into the world and find things you enjoy doing. Buy a bed roll, maybe a tent (to sleep in camp grounds, not hotels) and pack light.
Get away from your folks, out of your home town and just experiment, taking jobs where ever you can find them. Try anything which might appeal to you. Obviously, it was on the sea, for me, but perhaps it will be in a forest as a logger, or being a lift operator in a ski resort, etc. for you. You won't know if you don't try. Each new experience will open further opportunities and you'll eventually find your niche. Or not, in which case you can return home and go back to school. But surly, you will have had some great adventures, met some interesting people and found out there's more to life than depression and suicide.
College is making me hate myself
