I am 21 years old have a lot of paranoid thoughts about death or just anything bad happening to me. anything i can do to stop the paranoia?

Paranoia or anxiety: It sounds like you are having difficulty with excessive worry, rather than paranoia. This is an important distinction in that trtment differs. Paranoia in this field generally means you believe others are conspiring against you, that your house is "bugged" or you are being followed. I would suggest finding a therapist or talking with your physician as a start. Life does not have to be filled with.

Focus on your goals: Since the potential list of bad things that could happen to you is infinite, there isn't enough time in a day to worry about everything. So, giving up worrying about "what ifs" is what people end up doing in order to feel pretty good on a daily basis. "let's cross that bridge when we come to it, " is another saying that fits. A professional evaluation or treatment of your anxiety could help.
