How do I figure out what I want to do with my life?

I just graduated from college recently with a BS in marketing communications (yes, really) and I need to start applying for career jobs. All throughout college I worked 25-30 hour weeks at random jobs (waiter, barista, etc), and I have some relevant marketing experience as well. My resume looks good.

But I don't know if I actually want to do anything marketing related? I always thought I wanted to work in an ad agency, but recently I've been having massive panic attacks daily and all of a sudden I feel immense doubt. Like perhaps this isn't the right course of action for me. I'm most likely going to move back to my dad's place in a month or so, work more part-time shit until I find more stable employment.

How do I figure out what to do during that time? I love animals, should I try pursuing something related to that? What sort of jobs does that even include? Please help me, I feel so confused and lost.

I have been applying to ad agencies in NYC, for the record. I've even had two interviews, although one has chosen another candidate and the other hasn't gotten back to me.

I want/wanted to work in the accounts department, because as I understand it that job involves being a people person, and I've always felt very good at that. I love talking to people, meeting new people, and generally people tell me that I'm charming/funny. But honestly I think that's the only thing I'm good at. I could not name any other skills/talents I have outside of that. I'm not good particularly good at science or math, I am decently tech savvy (built my own gaming pc, but that's not super hard)

How do I turn "charming and likable" into a job? How do I even search for that kind of a thing? A friend of mine recommended I look into working in HR somewhere.

Look up job interview strategies. Make ads for your local vet or park or something.
