I'm 19( just turned 19) my current GF is still 18 for another 2 or so weeks. My problem is that I don't feel " in her league". FYI we both go to college.

Me: 5'9 hazel eyes, brown hair, glasses, no 6 pack( pudgy I'll admit it), almost zero athletic ability.
Her: 5'6ish blonde hair blue eyes, dance team in high school.

I have the age old " What is a beautiful girl like her doing with a meh looking guy like me?" question constantly swirling in my head along with " girls like her should be dating guys who look like ( insert name of popular male celebrity here).

We met at a Halloween party and are now on break and separate from each other for 5 weeks( our school combines T'giving and x-mas into 1 break). My family + friends tell me she's with me to be with me and that I'm not her " rebound" until Mr. square jaw with a 6 pack rolls by. I try not to bring this up to her as I like to show confidence. Should I bring it up?

Absolutely DO NOT bring it up. She likes you, or she wouldn't be with you. Stop over thinking the situation, and enjoy being with her.

Beautiful girls get tired of being hit on by good-looking but sleazy or arrogant guys. Some, like your gf, are relieved to find a more average guy with a great personality who treats her well. It sounds like her values are in the right place. Don't second-guess them. Appreciate what you have.

Many women care about a man's looks about as much as a man cares about the shape of a woman's ears. They hardly notice.

I know, when a guy is young this can be very, very hard to get used to.

for what its worth, she's always telling me " You're so quiet, I wish you'd open up more" Do I take that chance and just come out and ask why she's with me?

No. There must be other things you can open up to her about....?
