Yeah it's never too late to do extracurricular around the school, I joined my schools student council my junior year and that really helped when it came to apply to schools/scholarships. Also doing work in the community looks really good especially if it's a longish-term thing.

I think you should think about college as what will most benefit you, and I know it's hard to not take other people's opinions to heart. But they're not the ones who are gonna be living on campus and dealing with all the shit that comes with different universities. Once I started to look into colleges that met my needs rather than which ones everyone hyped up it definitely made my path clearer and less stressful. Like I was able to focus on what other people did to get into my current school, their essay, etc. I can't give you any academic stress advice tho because I just suffered. 

and I hope this kinda helped and if you any specific questions I'd be glad to answer them!
