How can i get my life together?! please give helpful advice to get through rough teen years.?

so i am a 16 year old female currently experiencing some hardships in my life. I have some things i have to work on to get my life back together. I'm a "work in progress". But i do have many strengths. I am decently good looking, i do very well in school, i am very thin/fit and athletic. But i just feel like i am not getting the most out of my life. I currently have like one friend, that's it. But she's my best friend. I am currently unemployed, have not gotten my permit yet but i have been vigorously studying for it. I am in no clubs/activities, and i participate in track, but thats not until the spring :( i just feel like i need to start living my life and start doing productive things. I just have a very boring, monotone lifestyle. I go to school, come home, sleep, so forth and so forth. I seriously have no life . I'm a very motivated strong and smart person and believe me, i want to start living SO BAD. But i just don't know what to do? All the kids in my school are really bad and they do drugs/alcohol they just aren't very good kids and they've got nothing going for them. so its out of the question that i start making new friends within my school. but i am not like that. i want to graduate, get into a prestigious four year college, and have an amazing family and live a good healthy happy life. that is all i will ever want. I'm just a teen and i need some advice on how to just get through high school. any advice/stories feel free to share :) tysm <3

    Reading "For Couples Only" and maybe "Finding a Higher Love" and searching http://www.rwm.org/rwm may help. Also, most colleges teach about the same these days, so prestigious is not so important as going to a college where your abilities (as per SAT, ACT) are in the upper half of the student body.

    How many times do i need to tell kids?, YOUR 16, please just concentrate on SCHOOL, and LEARNING, nothing else matters, just study, study, study, friends you have at school now, will drift away once you hit your 20s, people will be getting jobs and some will be doing nothing, or maybe theyll be getting married, believe me during this period of your life, nothing other than learning matters more, if youve already done your homework etc, learn something new, history, maths, english literature, sports , geography , building, its a huge world out there, learning is power believe me, enjoy

    Volunteer at a hospital or animal clinic great way to gain experience. If your looking for something to do join a club at school.I read a motivational quote every morning it gets me through stuff. When I feel like giving up I read quote and I'm back on track download a quote app or a daily devotional n read a verse or a quote every morning or read it when you feel down or feel like giving up it helps .

    Learn the "art of living" and "the art of reintegration".

    For this purpose consult "Riverside Art Center". RAC presents a special summer Veteran’s exhibition, examining the reconnection of identity through art and creativity during the reintegration process.
