There is nothing about your story that indicates that graduate school is even remotely appropriate for you. You need to get a job somewhere to pay the bills and spend some time soul-searching. Graduate school can serve a few different purposes depending on the field; providing specialization in a field of interest, training in research, or a required professional credential come to mind as the three most important. You really don’t fit the mold for any of these since you don’t honestly know you want to do with your life.

On top of that, your GPA is too low to realistically be admitted now, and your frequent accusation that courses are “weeders” (even upper-division ones, which are not) indicates you treat your coursework with a lack of seriousness. A graduate program would eat you alive right now even if you did manage to be admitted.
