No matter what school you go to from Harvard to the smallest, most humble community college, there has to be a financial aid office at every school. It is their job to help students obtain loans, scholarships, and grants. Get with a professor or administrator and find out who's there to help.

If you're motivated to stay in school there will be a way. I think you need to sit down and see if you really want to get your degree. Be honest with yourself and write down the positives and negatives, then come back here and post them for some honest (and probably ruthless) advice. If you aren't motivated you will just be wasting money, accruing loans, and still end up not getting your degree. In that case heading out into the real world might be your best bet. But be careful, this is a really poor time to be going out on your own without a degree.
