I have no clue

I’m currently a senior, but I’m not graduating for another year. Although this semester is barely halfway through, and I still have a year, the anxiety of the real world is actually starting to completely freak me out. I have no clue what I want to do after graduation, and although “adults” are constantly telling me, “don’t worry about it, it’s normal”, I fear that I will end up doing something that makes me miserable. I don’t want to go through life working at jobs that don’t fulfill me, because I’ve seen both of my parents suffer through that and I promised myself that I would never end up like them (I know totally cliché because most kids refuse to end up like there parents). And on top of that, add the worry of graduating and having to start payments on my student loans, that currently should be somewhere around 20 thousand. My obvious options are to go directly to grad school to postpone loan payments (but to study what?), another option is to sign up for the military (but I’m not entirely keen on this idea because of my words before fighting upbringing), and the last obvious answer would be to join the peace core (but do I really want to sign away three years of my life?). As much as I love my independence from my parents, I sometimes wish I could go back in time to when I was a child and everything was so carefree.
