My advice: look at your activities and see which of them you’re enjoying and which you’re not. From your list it seems like you must not have time to sleep, lest keep an active social life etc. Colleges look for well rounded students because when they send an acceptance letter, they’re investing in your future that you will do something good for the school. As such they’re looking for not a “super-candidate” but rather an intelligent creative passionate individual. As long as you have a few extra-curriculars, decent scores/grades/classes, imo, it comes down to the essay. Anyone can become president of their class, get into this or that club, and serve for habitat for humanity. The essay is how they will really get to know you, so for now just find your passion so, come senior year, you can write a powerful essay about it.
