I had the same prob when i was a student. (i'm 25 now).
Our schoolsystem is a little bit different from yours, but basically its the same, we only give it different names; we have Middle School (your Highschool, i think), and then at 18 you can go to university or Highschool (we call it highschool; your college i think)

Of course you already can learn a job in Middle School, so you dont have to continue your studies at 18.

Anyway, when i was 18, i didnt study for a job yet, so i had to continue my studies. I first went to university, had a great time, with lots of fun, partying, skipping classes, and no studying (my parents dont read this forum, i think, lol)
After that year of university (which i failed of course) i went to a highschool and studied for engineer, after 4 years of study i graduated. The first two years i had to stay home and go to school with the train (that university-year was 'on rooms').
But the last two years of my engineerstudies i had the permission to go 'on rooms' again, and the party-time started again. I had the feeling that i never wanted to quit studying, i just liked the student-life too much, but in the last year (i passed the last years of party/student-time without any probs, except for the re-exams i had in the 3rd year), i really had enough of it, during the year i had huge of funs, but the exams were a pain in my a.., i didnt like the study-party anymore (actually, i never liked it , lol). Anyway i had plans before that last year, to continue studying, i didnt know what yet, just *some*thing, but by the end of the 4th i was glad and relieved that it was over. I think studentlife is great, but it has to end someday, i had that feeling anyway.
