How will messing up my first year in college (2003) affect getting into grad school?

I appreciate your feedback however my advisor flat out said to me that I will only be able to get into another state school at best. Not that there is anything wrong with that but I really have my heart set on two particular schools (no not Harvard or Princeton but close). I am also concerned about getting a masters first and applying again for a PhD because of funding…I have a bit of student loan debt already. I’m applying to 12 schools so hopefully something will work out.
