"I don't know if this is what they call a quarter-life crisis."

This is what happens to most post-college grads. You're led to believe that you are the smartest most capable person in the world and that _you will_ make a difference.

Then you get a real job and and eventually come to understand how the world really works.

I'd say:

1. Put your family first. They are likely the only one that will not give up on you in the long run.

2. Pursue what you enjoy. It's a long life (hopefully) and you will do great things _because_ you love what you do.

3. Plan the future. You will end up _somewhere_ is 5 years. The destination can be determined by planning.
