I thought I had a quarterlife crisis, but after reading about gg's, it appears I'm saving up for my midlife crisis. It will probably involve spending a lot of money on something really nice and going off and doing something for more than one or two weeks (which is the longest I've ever gone without working since I was a preteen).
The bottom line is if you don't know what you want, you shouldn't try to force a square into a circle. Do something desirable--even if it's just time off--to find out what it is you're looking for in life.
