Incoming Final Year Student in need of advice !!!

Hey guys, I attend a non-target and non-RG uni. I'm going into my third year this autumn, and I'm not doing an internship this summer, which is rather disappointing, as I was able to get a Spring week at a really big UK bank the year before. I'm obviously quite down about not getting an internship and honestly a little panicked, but I know I can right my wrongs in grad schemes application season.

I'm just coming here for advice on how to make the most of my summer without an internship and also how to nail my grad scheme strategy so that I can see significantly more  success there.
