If there is an exception to every rule, then there would be an exception to the rule that every rule has an exception. Thus making both outcomes impossible, therefore the only plausible outcome is that rules do not exist, amirite?

I'm pretty sure that only disproves your initial claim that "there is an exception to every rule." Haven't you learned proofs yet? Clever, though... I like it :)

Unless that rule is the exception to itself. That's what I concluded when contemplating along those lines

I'm confused. Because all rules have exceptions, this disproved the rule that all rules have an exception? But wait! If it's a rule that all rules have an exception, then that rule must have an exception also, but what would disprove the rule tha all rules have an exception! I get it! *Head asplodes*

Hey... First comment's right: The statement "All rules have an exception" is a paradox - such a rule cannot exist. Therefore it is just by that proven, that "NOT all rules have an exception" :)
