Ever since I became single, all of my friends have decided to take me out with them at one point or another. Unfortunately for me, they're all dating. This means I've become a third wheel, and almost every time, my friends argue and put me in the middle of it all. This is really irritating me, but it's not like they even realize what their doing, and I don't want to be the source of any drama. I just want to graduate and get the fuck out here. How do I tell friends to back off and leave me out of it?
Be up front about it. A lot of times, friends that are in relationships, whether or not they are happy couples, tend to completely forget what it feels like to be single and unhappy about it.
Of course I just assumed that you were unhappy about being single but, if that's not the case, you honestly still need to just tell them you're not part of their relationship and they need to stop dragging you into it like you were. Will some of them get mad? Maybe, but if they're really your friends they won't stay mad, and you'll save yourself a lot of headache.

I'm not unhappy about being single at all, it's actually quite a relief. I was afraid they would get mad at me and start blaming me for their relationship troubles. I guess maybe I'm thinking the worse. There's still the problem of being a third wheel though. :/
