My work is currently trying to get me to quit. They write me up for
ridicules things while trying to find every little mistake I make.
They are now trying to make me work 50 hours a week even knowing that
I go to college. I am on salary so I can't get any overtime. They
won't fire me because they don't want to pay the unemployment
benefits. Everyone in my office has grown to hate me because I'm not
in their 'click.' Even the managers dislike me and they think I'm a
bad worker, but there really just piling work on me I can't get done
in time. Is this illegal what their doing?

If it were illegal, half the country would be in jail.

Probably not. Assuming they aren't discriminating against you because
of your age, race, gender, etc. Assuming you aren't protected by a
union contract. Assuming you don't have some other kind of employment
contract that gives you special rights. Assuming they aren't
retaliating against you for some "protected" activity. Assuming all
those assumptions, and without more information, what they're doing
isn't illegal.
Why don't you look for other work so you can quit?

To play Devil's Advocate here...
They write me up for
ridicules things while trying to find every little mistake I make.
Do they write you up for these "ridiculous things" while others, who
do the same things, are getting a pass? What are these things that
you are being written up for? Do you, perhaps, deserve to be written
up?
They are now trying to make me work 50 hours a week even knowing that
I go to college.
Why did you take such a job if you are going to college?
I am on salary so I can't get any overtime.
You knew the job was salary when you took it.
They

benefits.
I've seen this a lot, actually.
Everyone in my office has grown to hate me because I'm not
in their 'click.'
If "everyone" hates you, then is the problem really them, or you?
Even the managers dislike me and they think I'm a
bad worker, but there really just piling work on me I can't get done
in time.
Would no one be able to get this amont of work done? Or just YOU
can't?
Is this illegal what their doing?
If everything you say is actually true, then maybe you have a
constructive dischage alligation?
However, since your post was so generic (They hate me, they make me
work too much, poor me), it sounds like you either don't like or can't
handle the place where you are working.
Suck it up, find another job, and don't clog the legal system with
another frivolous lawsuit.
Beleive me, there's no shame in quitting a job you don't like. I've
done it and everyone else has, too.

Better to think so than to do so.
Getting fired for bad conduct will get you disqualified for
unemployment anywhere.
Workplace violence will get you room and board at the county hotel, or
at best probation with restitution and useless-but-required anger
management classes.
The OP's best bet might be an improper-classification complaint. You
can't give a menial a title like "manager of stacking boxes" to turn
him into an exempt employee.

They have classified you as an exempt employee but are you sure you are one?
In the Labor Code for your state, there is usually detail about
what an exempt employee is considered.
Many people are improperly classified as salaried so the company doesn't
have to pay overtime.

in some states, if you get fired for REASON, you are not eligible for
unemployment benefits.
