Q1:「你毕业后要干嘛?」
具杀伤力的问题!常见的答案有两种,「就业」、「申请研究所」、「考公职」或是「先当兵」。
假如要回答自己要就业,你可以说:
「我会先找工作,想找 _____ 方面的工作。」
I will get a job first. I would like to work in marketing.
(我会直接就业,想找个行销相关的工作。)
「我会先找工作,但还不确定哪种工作适合我。」
I will look for a job first, but I still have no idea what job suits me.

I am preparing for the civil service examination in next month.
(我正在准备下个月的公职考试)
服兵役 do the (military) service
一般指「从军、参军」的话,这样用即可。 go to the army 和 join the army 则偏向指「职业军人加入军队」。
而「募兵制」的说法则是:voluntary military service
His bad eyesight exempted him from military service.
(他因视力不好而免服兵役)
Q2:「你会延毕吗?」
「延毕」在英文里有几种说法:

(没错,我单身,但我很满足。)
如果是有迷恋的对象,则可以用:have a crush on someone
secret crush 指的是暗恋,也可以说 secretly in love with someone

Yup! Do you know any nice guy/ girl? Come on, quit holding out on me!
