I don't know what I'm going to major in, what my life after college looks like, or who I'm going to be.
I come from a messed up family with lots of fighting and such and everyone competes to be the "best," but I'm not ambitious or aggressive, I just want to have enough for myself I would rather instead of working hard for wealth. I want to relax and take a breather and look at the trees without worrying or stress. What do I do?

Part of the joy of life is finding out. There are a hundred million questions you can ask, a greater number of scenarios, that you'll never get the answer to unless you ask. Going to college, finding a job, asking out the girl, those are all opportunities to find out. In college you're asking "who will/can I become?", and you're testing yourself against that question by studying as hard as you can, earning the right credits to get a degree that you want by your own ambition. Like in anything else you're entering that's full of unknowns, don't expect to have the correct answer on the first try, or right away. You might look at a major/degree path, think "I wonder if I can become that", and then decide partway through after gaining experience with it that you don't want to do that anymore. Most people change their majors later. Most people get the degree and never work in a job that's directly related to it, or not even in that field. Many establish a career, decide to reskill or upskill later, and go back with greater wisdom, experience and insight to choose a new path. It is okay. It's normal to feel uncertain, how could you be certain without the experience of having done something before? Just trust that there are no wrong answers to the questions you pose to yourself in life, aside from not asking them at all. In any other case, no matter the result, you will earn wisdom, experience, and will build your confidence in those areas by having been there before. In the end, you will be greater for having even just tried, because you will know more than you did. There isn't a single, irreplaceable vision of the future where you're most successful and happy, there are innumerable possibilities depending upon the choices you make, and you will be closer to the answer you feel is most correct for yourself every time you ask a question of life. The only thing that leaves you weaker is failing to ask them out of fear.

Where are you? In most European countries a "gap year" before college is very common. In the USA, college is constructed so the first couple of years are mainly taken up by required courses and electives, so you can shop around in various introductory classes to see what you like.
