18 and no college education

I'm 18 and have no college education I've have GCSE and passed all my subjects.

I kept getting kicked out of college and no longer no what to do with my life.

I had hopes to go university but college kept kicking me for stupid reasons when I was getting decent grades.

Should I do another 2 years and do btec and go university? Need some advice
You could look into apprenticeships or degree apprenticeships as there are many of them in a range of fields
What do you want to do?

You say they kicked you out for "stupid reasons" - but they were most likely valid, otherwise they wouldn't have kicked you out. If you want to return to education you need to learn from past mistakes.

What are the "stupid reasons" which are causing you to get expelled from college?

It might be good to think about what does interest you and what you might want to do for a career, as this can give you something to work towards and form a plan (i.e. is further study needed or should you go straight into employment?).
What about a degree with a foundation first?
