Hello! I'm so happy to be able to answer your question. I really hope that some of my suggestions will be helpful for you.
I think your current confusion can be analyzed from two perspectives, which I'm happy to go over with you.
You've already answered your own question! This is your life plan, right here.
"All I want is to get away from home for a while. I think society is a bit too complicated for me right now, and I just need a little time to figure things out. Once I've improved my education, I'll find a well-paid job, support myself, buy a house, and be self-sufficient.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that! Everyone can have their own life and lifestyle, and it doesn't need to be so uniform. A plain and simple life is also a kind of life goal. In the eyes of some people, such a plain life may also be a kind of luxury. We are also the state that others yearn for.
The second level is that we feel like an NPC, but the truth is, each of us is the star of our own story!
Your description made me think of a female protagonist in a movie or TV show with twinkling stars.
I was also wondering why this girl was still living the same life ten years after the college entrance exam. It seemed like she hadn't thought about her future at all during all those years of crossing over. All the other students had goals, ideas, and dreams, but she alone couldn't think of any.
I've always been rooting for her! I really hope she'll find her way and discover her goal after all this back and forth.
Even though this drama is a romance, she might still have other goals in mind, like the male lead or love. Whatever her goals are, they don't affect her characterization. I bet there are people like her in real life too!
We can also sort ourselves out through her state. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that state of life! Work and live step by step, and be sure to accompany your parents. And if you meet someone you love in the future, you can get married and have children with your lover, accompany your partner, and your children. If you discover your own preferences during this process of life, there's absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying them again!
I really hope that through self-reflection, you can find your own direction, even if it's different from what most of your friends are doing. It's totally fine, we all have our own rhythm!
I love you, world! And I love you too!

I can totally relate to feeling lost and unsure about the future. It's okay not to have everything figured out right away. Sometimes taking a step back and focusing on personal growth, like pursuing further education, can give us that space to understand ourselves better.
The desire to distance yourself from home and take on postgraduate studies shows a lot of courage. It's a big step towards independence. Maybe while you're studying, you'll discover new interests or passions that you hadn't considered before. It's all part of the journey.
It sounds like you're under a lot of pressure, and it's understandable to feel anxious when you're trying to plan everything out. But remember, it's perfectly fine to be uncertain for a while. The key is to keep moving forward, even if you don't know exactly where you're headed yet.
Your ambition to support yourself, buy a house, and become selfsufficient is admirable. These are solid goals to work toward. Perhaps in the process of achieving them, you'll gain more clarity on what you truly want. Try not to rush; sometimes the answers come when we least expect them.
Feeling hollow and disconnected from your true desires can be really tough. Reading might not always provide immediate answers, but it's building a foundation for when those answers do come. In the meantime, maybe talking to someone who understands or exploring different activities could help you find some direction.
