I just got married last weekend, as a matter of fact. I am 38, she is 33. When I was your age I had that "going to die alone and single" thought running through my head, as well.
From what I have observed, it is pretty common nowadays for people to wait until later in life (later 20's, early 30's) to start their families. That way they can enjoy themselves during/after their college years, concentrate fully on building a successful career and they can also take the time to make absolutely sure of what they really want before they actually act on it.
Personally, I've never been concerned with the kids or grandkids thing (I am childfree for life). Even if kids were a part of our life, who is to say that we would live long enough to enjoy our kids, grandkids, etc? It's a crapshoot at best.
You are just getting ready to leave college. There is an intense amount of pressure (mostly self-imposed) on you be successful and obtain all of the things you want in life in a hurry. Regardless of your (still very young) age, please take your sweet time and don't make rash, hasty decisions just because of that dumb assed biological clock. Ultimately, you'll be exceptionally glad you did.
