So, I'm going to college next year and I really enjoy learning about physics, quantum mechanics, cosmology and all that good stuff; however, I don't enjoy the math that comes with it. So, do you fellas think I should bother taking some basic courses or is the math so intertwined with the theory to the point where I would not enjoy it.

Not true, you can understand many of the effects and results as long as you can accept some of the proofs on faith. It was well taught, the main text was aimed at the non-mathematician but was written by a physicist and did a great job with the material.
For the record I do physics and can do the calculations but wanted a different perspective (physics courses completely gloss over the more philosophical side of things which is quite important for a well rounded understanding of quantum physics).
