Is time really this fast?

So I am becoming a senior this fall and the thought of college is just absolutely exciting. This weekend I'm starting an SAT prep course at Sylvan hoping that I can gain amazing scores so I can get into an Ivy League School, and I fear both the work ahead and all of the paperwork (not to mention tests) that can just make me become very close to insane. Truthfully, I cannot wait to send out the applications and I can only hope, pray, dream, and work hard so that I can get into the colleges that I want. Oh and that's another thing. I know I want to go to Cornell University, or even the University of Connecticut, but I'm a tad bit unsure when it comes to applying to Michigan State and Ohio State. They all have good programs in my studies which are landscape architecture, but mainly horticulture. They all have many opportunities at good scholarships, and even special honor programs, if I feel like being insane. So I can only hope that it all works out. Until then, I still have much to do in my life. I have to take the driver's test in September, and I'm actually thinking of signing up for driver's this next coming week, even though I don't think the 30 hours of class will end before I take the test, but the knowledge will help. I just really need my license, and then I can get a job, which I need to find. My job will both fund driving (thanks to expensive and wasteful gas), school, and my new card business that my mom is thinking that I should start. I already make jewelry and have been selling it for years, but I just don't have the time for that anymore that I have been taking pictures of flowers, and different places and they could work as simple prints on white cards, Even a nice set of multiple cards could work as a set. I have to experiment and see if it all works out because November is the time when I would have to have them done for selling. Oh and I can never forget about school. This year is going to be REALLY hard with 3 AP classes and I can only pray that I stay on track with those, and other classes. I need to keep up good grades, and I do mean AMAZING grades because my GPA dropped from a 3.97 to a 3.73 since my failing some times, then again failing to me is under a 70. Anyways, just wish me luck. This year is going to be crazy. Did I mention I could use a hug? Because I could. badly.
