My freshman year was a total mess, so the only way i can graduate is by going to a 5th yr. What i'm not sure about is if i can still go to college.

You might go to a local community college to get things straightened out before transfering to a university. But of course you can still go to college.

At the worst, you can go to a community or two year college and then transfer to a four year. By the time you have 30+ college credits (about 1 year) a lot (but not all) colleges don't even need your high school transcript.
But if you graduate high school, there is a college that will take you. If you don't graduate, you won't be able to get in to most, if ANY colleges. Research in your area, check college websites, go meet with counselors at colleges or meet with a guidance counselor at YOUR school. All these resources are available because there are a lot of people out there who have unique circumstances such as yours. Good luck!

Yes you will still be accepted into college...unless you had hopes on MIT. hehe. All the admissions office at a university wants is the paper saying you graduated, proof of diploma and your money.
Another option for you is to take the test for your GED.
GED's are accepted as much as H.S diploma. It's not a bad deal.
Don't be discouraged because college is so much more fun than high school. You will love it I promise.
Work hard.

Of course you can. Colleges look at the number of credits you have and the grades you received. Go to the Colleges web-sites and you can look up the requirements needed to get into the specific classes. This way, if your missing any classes you can get them now while your still in high school.

yes, as long as you finish high school (or take an equivalency test) you can still go to college. Like some other people said, you may want to go to a community college first and then transfer to a larger university or college later on.

Sure you can! Colleges care about you getting a diploma. They will also require a test like SAT, but thats down the road a bit.
Even very good colleges won't pay as much attention to things you did earlier in high school andcare more that you're trying harder closer to senior year.
Good luck!

Yes, you can still go to college. I'd recommend going to a junior college first (such as a community college) - before you go to a four year university. It will really help you in the long run.

Every college has different requirements and standards. Do some research. There's a college out there that will take you.
