I would definately start making the list of potential colleges now and do a lot of research about them this year..like see how good they are in the field you want to study, price, location, programs, chances you'll get in, etc. Try to find anyone who went their, older friends, teachers, family, etc and see how they like it.
I also reccommend trying to visit those on the top of your list either during spring break or during the summer because environment is big, you'll be living there for four years. This will probably narrow down your list and by the end of summer you should have a pretty good idea of where you want to apply so you can request applications (and if you're really bored/diligent...you can even start thinking about thoses horrid essay questions on the application). I've just learned from the whole college applying experience its a lot less stressful when you have a plan and don't slack off.
