Need help on my priorities.

So i’m currently in junior year high school, taking 4 AP’s, (US, Calculus BC, Biology, and Lang). The first semester is about to end, and I’m going to end up with 6 A’s, one B, and one C (The B is from Biology, the C is from Calculus). I’m pretty confident I can get all A’s next year as I’m getting used to the work load. From what I’ve calculated, I had a 3.19 GPA freshman year and a 3.6 GPA Sophomore year.

I want to study Computer science in college, but I’m getting stressed out because I have nothing outstanding to put on my application when the time comes. I don’t have any community hours, and my grades aren’t that great at all. The only thing that might save me is the ACT, which I’m feeling pretty confident I can score well, but even then I don’t have much to get into a decent UC.

What can I do right now to make my application look better? I see other applicants and they have hundreds of hours, have many hobbies they enjoy and looks good, but I have none. My older brother tells to do a small project relating programming if i will go into computer science, but I’m not entirely sure if that will work. I’m just stressed out and lost, as I have no idea what I’m doing anymore and have no clue what my goal should be. I come back from school too tired because I only get around 4-5 hours of sleep every night due to homework and studying.
