You can always look to stealth van living as a way to live on the cheap and buy up free time (for studying or just saving or whatever). In any case I guess you want to get a job asap.

OP, listen to Alexestalex.
You will meet a lot of connections in college. It is ten times easier to do this in school than in real life.

Forget about college for a while. Not forever, you will NEED to go back. But wait untill you are 21-22 and are a bit more mature. When you are fail out of college they don't kick you out forever, you can re-apply in a couple of years when you have your shit together. You'll be able to take schooln' much more seriously then, I am sure of it.
In the meantime start applying to jobs everywhere. It doesn't matter what kind of job you end up with, and it will likely be a shitty one, like washing dishes or custodial work or delivering pizzas, or laboring somewhere. If you can score two jobs that would be great.
I don't know what you can do about the housing situation if you're being kicked out of your parents' house. It's hard enough to fnd an affordable apartment, and its even harder to get into one if you are unemployed. Hopefully you have friends that can put you up untill you can get on your feet.
If friends do put you up don't abuse their hospitality, find a job ASAP even if it is a horrible demeaning one. You can always look for a better job while you are working an aweful one. And seriously lay off the drugs and stop partying. Your life is obviously a mess right now. Drugs and partying are expensive activities, and they are distractions. It is also easier to find work when you are clean, a lot of stupid jobs out there drug test.
If you are really desperate and at a loss for what to do you could always join the military. Thats what I did, I hated nearly every minute of it, but I don't regret it. They will get your shit straightened up in short order. If you go that route I recommend joining the Air Force or the Navy.

Find a job with tips like bussing tables or delivering pizzas or valet parking. Couch surf with friends until you save up enough for your own place.
