I've been playing around with the idea of being an ESFP. I feel that I don't really have that deep introspection of values that dom fi's have.
ESFP is a possibility, since you like a physical activities, and likes to go with the flow.

It would probably be Gym because I got to run around a bit; better than sitting in a chair for an hour strait. Extracurricular activities were the highlight of my week (sparing).

I remember that I have an acquaintance who said that life flows like water. I didn't get it when he told me so. It would perhaps mean he has no plan. I would type him ESFP also.

I landed a job at the university's textbook store. However, due to the Coronavirus, I got my separation notice from my employer just this Monday.
You should not be too concern about losing your job. That job couldn't really make use of SP's artistic potential anyway.

I thought about joining the military, but who know if I'll actually go on with it... I feel like there's nothing out there for me. Man, I sound whiny.
If you are confident in martial arts, military will be a well matched.
Being an Se dominant should make you possess natural aptitude in martial art, as one of the important skills. When Sparring for example, sparer need to adjust to surrounding environment perceived by the five senses. Since martial artist don't really know, where his opponent is going to attack, but when the opponent does, martial artist must be able to response to some extent spontaneously. To do so well, it requires extroverted sensing and introverted judging function .Se - Ti will be more able to perform it, since they tend to be gifted with : speed, or physical strength, But Se with Fi auxiliary like ESFP, should not be discouraged, since martial art doesn't always rely on brute muscular strength or speed, one of which is Aikido.
An ESFP usually has a natural leadership talent, and coordination, and cooperation, which I suppose are needed in military. ESFP and ESTP should join special military unit; not the regular one. Or, May be you are interested in joining intelligence agency. If I were you, I would do more research about that.
Another career options for ESFP
An ESFP should be able to handle Journalistic daily tasks, since their spontaneous reaction make themselves responsive to news, meet the deadline, and their self confidence will make them not awkward to meet new people they didn't know even someone like political figure. I would recommend becoming a journalist as a choice of occupation. For an artistic entrepreneurial work, You can try photography also. However, you may need some investment in equipment for it. Or have you ever dreamt about becoming an actor? It should be well matched also with ESFP.
Celebrities with Se Ti and Se Fi Psychological Functions
Bruce Lee was an actor and martial artist that I type ESTP. He was very gifted with speed. He makes it seem very easy performing Reflexive reaction in his martial art.
This video should give more description of what I mean by reflexive spontaneous reaction of the martial artist as a response to what opponent do in sparring that heavily relies on speed.I would say It is feasible for him to perform since it is supported by the nature consciousness of Jungian Extroverted sensation and introverted thinking function at primary and auxiliary at his stack.
Steven Seagal whom I type ESFP is an example of
Aikidoka who is also an actor.
The video below is an example of how spontaneous reaction is performed by him as a response to his opponent in sparring without reliance on speed like Bruce Lee. That wouldn't be psychologically feasible by him if He didn't have Jungian Se primary paired with an introverted auxiliary (my identification is Fi) at his stack.
