No Job - Could Really Use Some Advice

This site has helped me out immensely in the past, hopefully you guys can share some insight this time around as well.

Currently a senior in college, graduating this week, and I completely struck out during FT recruiting. I go to a non-target, ~3.7, S&T last summer. I have interviewed for jobs ranging from IBD to prop trading and unfortunately nothing stuck. It appears to be too late for a MFin, I'm not sure a boutique will take a FT analyst on, and I can't delay graduation at this point.

It's looking really bleak and currently not in the best spot mentally. Looking to hear some advice, would really appreciate some help at this point.
