Granny Padma gives good advice!
I think you'll find that there are a lot of people in college because it's what their parents want, that's why I was there. You'll also find a lot of them aren't happy.
There is a reality to your situation given the current economic state that you might want to consider. Times are tough out there and having a college degree isn't going to get you a job. If you're getting your education paid for you might want to take advantage of it. That will open some doors for you later. There will be jobs open to you just because you have a degree and it's going to delay your entry into the job market until, hopefully, things are a little better and you might find work easier.
The other thing to remember is that most degrees don't prepare/qualify you for a specific job. Things like accounting do but art and biology don't. If you can get any kind of internship or job experience through school that gives you a huge leg up.
You might consider taking classes that interest you and exploring. Nothing says that you can't get an art degree and then go be a tattoo artist. Pursuing what interests you is much more fun than taking what someone else wants you to.
I went to college for four year and finally dropped out and went into the trades which paid really well. A few years later I decided that I wanted to finish my degree and went back. I only took classes that interested me and had so much fun. Now I'm a degree holding construction worker. No moral to that story it just is what happened.
