If you are planning on partying every night -- then why not go somewhere else so that someone who deserves to be at Cambridge can go?
Don't get me wrong. I believe that you need to balance study with a social life. But if you are talking about partying every night then you will not be able to put in the work nor will you be able to get the grades.
Your grammar and punctuation show that you are already behind.

Unless you have begun planning for Cambridge and have received some kind of indication of their interest in you as a student, I would suggest you take another route through college.
The work at Cambridge depends on self motivation and self direction. You might have a tutor who sees you an hour a week
or less, the rest is up to you. The exams are tough, all the more so because your experience may be totally differnet
from someone at your level. The writing is especially demanding. Every class requires multiple papers, including a paper on every book you are assigned to read. Every book requires discussion with a tutor.
Families who have sent their youngster to prep school and have an established
relationship with the university can be expected to be admitted.
If your heart is set on it, write and ask them how you can apply. Good Luck!
