So recently I've been kinda confused about whether I'm atheist or agnostic. I don't believe that there's a god, but maybe I don't know. I think if there is a god though that he doesn't have a personality more of like the universe( or more who know what's beyond the universe if anything) is a god of sorts in a broad definition.
So my question is am I agnostic or atheist?

You can orient yourself on this chart:
From what you say, I would call you an agnostic atheist. You don't believe in god but don't claim to know it is so. If you would believe in a god though, from your last sentence, I would say deistic.

You can orient yourself on this chart:
I would be right on the line between gnostic and agnostic atheist. Depending on which religions, there is enough contrary evidence to conclusively disprove them. Which doesn't disprove everything overall, but specific claims can be tested. Deism is really the only exception as that's just a belief that a god exists and nothing more -.-

I agree with that, gnostic atheism only makes sense in relation to specific religions; as you need claims to base your certitude on. If we're speaking of the possibility of there being any god at all, agnostic atheism is really the most rational thing.

Pantheism = 'god' is the universe(s)/nature
Pandeism = 'god' became the universe(s)/nature and no longer exists in a 'spirit form'
Panentheism = 'god' is both the universe(s)/nature and an external 'spirit form'
Deism = 'god' created the universe and exists solely in an external 'spirit form', not interacting with the universe(s)/nature other than creation.

Agnostic and Atheist aren't mutually exclusive to one another.
Here are a couple of videos I would recommend watching.
Atheist or Agnostic

If there is a God, why doesn't he just blast all non believers with lightning!

Don't get caught up in labels. That's just plumbing the depths of pedantry.
