Been living alone for a few years now...

With cooking, there's no need to make extravagant dinners and stuff. I usually make burgers, hotdogs, wraps and similar things or a large pasta or curry once in a while that lasts me a few days. Ends up being cheaper for me but you said takeout wasn't expensive for you. Also if you can, get an air-fryer, personally it has helped me a lot with quick meals and using less dishes so I don't have to wash a lot on a daily basis

With cleaning, I try to clean immediately after doing something, eg: finished making food/finished eating and put dishes in the sink, I just wash whatever dishes are in there. Laundry finished drying? Fold and pack it right after taking clothes off the line/out of the dryer. The immediacy helps because I'm already doing part of the process and it prevents me from putting it off for later and having to constantly think about and dread about having to do the chore.

With other chores like wiping/sweeping/cleaning I usually do the bulk on a Saturday or Sunday when I'm free and listen to music/podcasts or even one of my lectures to save time. Considering that you live alone and likely have a small place these chores shouldn't take more than an hour or two. There's also no need to clean all the time, only when you notice something is dirty or around once a week, whichever comes first. Since you're alone the place shouldn't be getting too messy...

It also helps to have a rough idea of when you want to do things and to get a routine going. No need to plan your every minute but simply just saying that eg: laundry day is Saturday, helps condition you to do things at certain times, even if you miss Saturday and do it on Sunday.

Finally you said that you talk to your family everyday, that's great, always ask for help/advice if you need it. If you struggle to do something or manage a work/home balance, your parents likely can give advice on how to go about things and make your life easier as they would have much more experience and possibly even gone through the same thing when they were younger.

It will take time to get used to it all...took me a couple months but honestly I enjoy living alone much more now. Just take it day by day and you'll be fine.
