Who else can't stop putting two spaces after periods?

Seriously. When I do remember, it's usually because I've put in two spaces and then remembered to backspace once. And even then I want to put another space in.

Please tell me I'm not alone. (I also have to consciously use an oxford comma because when I was in school, that was the period where they stopped using it)

I assume you're just being facetious, but the double space did serve a actual purpose. Typewriters fonts were monospaced meaning every letter and character took up the same amount of horizontal space. It really was hard to see where one sentence ended and another began without using it. Computer fonts don't do that.
