Does anyone else have issues with their 2004 Toyota Corolla S oil? I mean, I am dropping 3-4 quarts in it every week! It's killing me! I've had 2 oil changes in less than 2 months. I have no leaks, the oil isn't burning out, I have a brand new oil filter. My next try is a new oil pump.

3 to 4 quarts a week is excessive.
The warranty is 5 years 60 k.
If you are over that it will not be cheep.
If you have no leaks you are burning it bad and will be smoking alot.
Take it to someone and have a compression test done then a consumption test.

A new oil pump solves nothing in your case as you present it. If you have less than 60,000 miles on your car Toyota's warranty will replace the motor or completely fix the problem. If you bought the car used from a Toyota dealer it should have a 100,000 drive train warranty.
If you ar over 60,000 miles there is a class action lawsuit going on at this time concerning an oil sludging problem. Toyota's fixed or replaced every motor if sludging is the cause.
As the other guys have correctly stated if it ain't leakin it's burnin ( poor English) only to accentuate a point.
If its an internal burning issue new over-sized pistons, rings and a the best cylinder reconditioning job will bring it back to life.

Yeah you have a leak or you're burning it...there's no other possibility unless your car is defying the laws of physics.
Put it on a lift and look for a huge leak.
Nothing?
Then you're burning it. Get a "cylinder leakdown test" performed and it will tell you all you need to know.
