My dear, I snooped your gallery before responding to this, and your AP portfolio absolutely annihilates the low-concept garbage I produced for my AP portfolio (almost 8-9 years ago now). If you practice even half as much as I did, you will one day be able to art like whatever you want.
jeez I hope so though. I'm mostly worried right now that art school will actually kill me. A completely logical [mild] fear.
Art classes can be very challenging, especially if you have a lot of studio classes in the same semester. The best advice I can think of is to be mindful of yourself as a student of art-- meaning the more receptive you can be to learning, the better. Your efforts will not always earn you perfect scores. Just remember that you are making student work, and don't let it get you down. Until the day we stop producing art, our best work is always yet to come.
Also, you will have a lot fewer stereotypical angsty tussles with your art profs if you are willing to hear their criticism to the last and file it away instead of arguing, even if you disagree. My biggest regret is not being a more receptive pupil. I had some very charged exchanges with my professors, and I look back on those moments with shame at how headstrong I was.

thanks. I have 3 studio classes for foundation year...2 of which I'm nervous for strictly because they're in media that I know/I expect more of myself than I do in the 3rd class (spatial dynamics/3D art essentially...stuff I've never done before), but mostly I'm excited (and scared, my only art class ever has been AP art - and I literally was the only one who put any effort into the class).
I mostly enjoy crits. Which may be strange. Actually, that's really weird come to think of it.
I just...improvement, fast improvement, is really important to me right now ⁻\(ッ)/⁻

I know the feeling! It depends on where you go, I suppose, but I found myself pleasantly surprised by how involved my college classmates were in their studio art classes, after how little effort there was in high school (and I was a champion art underachiever myself).
It may be strange to like critique, but it's a good view to have. If you can take in critique in a way that's graceful and constructive you'll be miles ahead of most artists-- students and pros alike.
