Rising senior serious dillema

I should most likely make a new account for this post but whatever, I am kind of stuck i don't know what i want to do i have not really been exposed to much I had a private equity internship my freshman year did not do much apart from pull up comps analysis and assist in functions with their newer fund  and a banking internship a while back before my freshman year ,sophomore summer i did something completely unrelated , this summer my junior year i don't have a proper structured internship and will be doing work in an equity research capacity remote and likely will not be that great experience  .I have a 3.6 go to a non target state school . I have been networking likely not as much as i should be and i am hoping to land a full time role somewhere hopefully in investment banking or a role that can lead me towards it   .I am trying to learn financial modelling over the summer in hopes that will help me figure it out .I am just feeling very lost and find myself doom scrolling WSO instead of practicing modelling prepping techs I am just very lost .I would appreciate any guidance I have been on this website since before college and somehow I am still so lost . Looking to her any advice or peoples stories with full time recruiting .
