It really sucks that life calls upon people to make decisions that will shape their entire lives at a time when all they really want to think about is what's going on RIGHT NOW. When I was 18 all I knew was that I'd had my fill of education and I wanted to get out to work. I thought about what I could do at university, and couldn't imagine any courses I would want to do because I couldn't see what use any of the knowledge that I would gather would be to me once I graduated. I didn't realise at the time that what you study at uni is of no importance at all, unless you have a particular career in mind to which the course is relevant. It's just the fact that you've been to university at all that most employers care about when they fast-track you through the career path. So just decide what you think you'd enjoy doing at college, pick school courses that will enable you to do that, and then add maybe one little luxury course that you enjoy but is not relevant to the college course you want to do, just to make school that bit more enjoyable.
