Unless you are in fear for your safety, I strongly advise you to give two-week's notice. It will be better for your boss, as they will have some time to find a replacement, and better for you, as that will give you a bit more money for you to have while you hunt for a new job. If you're already having personal issues affecting your work then your boss probably won't be too shocked.
They will just want you around so that you can wrap up any loose ends you're working on, prepare documentation for your replacement, and be available for any questions the bosses have while preparing for your exit. In my experience they aren't going to expect you to be working at 100% during this time, they just want you to be available.
I don't want to sound condescending, but as a new grad it seems like you might be blowing things out of proportion a tad with wanting to run out of there immediately in anticipation of what your boss will think when you quit. As you gain more experience you will realize that this is just a normal part of working jobs. Sometimes you find some that aren't a good fit, and there's no shame in admitting that. It's better than burning yourself out by trudging onward or eventually getting fired for lack of productivity.
