The link to my gallery is in my signature. I'm sorry it's a DA, I know many people don't like those. I don't think I'm good enough to spend money on anything for my art besides supplies...

Anyway, what can I do to improve? I'm really bad a life drawing, do I have any chance of getting anywhere with art (like getting into an art college)?

From my experience, you have to have at least some skill in life drawing/landscape art. The colleges I applied for told me specifically that I needed at least one traditional medium drawing of a still life, landscape, and person with fore-, middle-, and background each in order to have them even consider accepting me.

My first advice is just to go out with a graphite and sketchbook and quickly draw a flower. Every day, and it doesn't necessarily have to be the same flower. With each day, try to make it more detailed (more shading, less outlines, things of that nature). It may also be wise to take some beginner's drawing workshops/courses during the summer that are often held at a local college.
