Some great stuff here. My favourite, probably because it could easily be an early
Doctor Who title sequence is 'Reflection Rings'.
It's great that you already know the career that you're aiming for, because I didn't when I was about to leave school. The fact that you have your work on show in a functioning website is even more impressive.
Be wary about throwing things away though. Stick them in a scrapbook, or keep them on file somewhere. You never know what ideas they could trigger later.
Graphic Design's about designing something for a purpose, and its sometimes about compromise. That can be difficult, to force a stop on your creativity. Sometimes there will be limits on what you can do.
Have you thought about designing an avatar for yourself? That has inherent limitations. It has to be relatively small for starters, so you can't do anything that will lose clarity once it's shrunk down. It can also relate to your pseudonym on the boards. I'd be thinking: 'Dalek104', what can I do with that? What image can I come up with?
That's a great place to start for a designer.
