I am 20 and have always been insecure about my eyes, as they often give a "shadowed" appearance in photos and look lost in my face. I also have undereye hollows (dark under eye area and I can feel the bone). Is there any procedure I could undergo to help improve their appearance? Also, is there any way that the eyes can be shaped to appear wider or larger to better fit one's facial structure? My eyes are really round/circular. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give to me!

Very tough problem.

My best advise is to be careful regarding what "solutions" to these problems you entertain.  Yes your eyes are very hollow.  Filling the upper eyelid sulcus is very difficult, perhaps impossible to accomplish in a meaningful way for you.  Under eye hollows are best addressed how with hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane.  I would be very weary of surgical solutions for these concerns.
