School Politics

So, I'm applying for basically every club under the sun (or just about.) I've gotten my schedule (with four AP classes and 1 honors.) I'll be a senior in high school just like Miss Couturable (http://www.misscouturable.blogspot.com/.) How the HECK am I supposed to finish my book and get all these amazing clips?

I don't know.

The way I see it, I need to be involved in school- not just to give back, but because I get really bored otherwise. But writing is also important because

a. I love it and

b. it sets me apart on my college apps. (Oh yeah: since I'll have seven of those to do this summer/fall, too.)

How does it all fit? I'm curious to hear how anybody else handles the school/writing balance, or opinions in general.
