If you're very young (college age or younger), this will not be a big deal for you although the FAA might not let you earn any ratings for a year.

The big thing that you have going for you is that you're not actually a pilot of any sort yet (taking some classes doesn't count). The FAA and future employers would be WAAAAY more concerned about this if you were already a pilot, especially a professional pilot.

The industry is somewhat forgiving of harmless youthful indiscretions in your pre-aviation past.

But if you're older, airlines will have some reservations since they will think you should know better. You could probbably still get hired by a bottom-feeder regional though.
