Summer 2024 (Sophomore) internship fell through...what to do?

Was at a relatively small VC fund last year and thought I was going to be going back this year, but I just learned I mostly likely won't be going there. What are my best options for something finance related?

I'm open to anything and have a strong technical background - I think I could get a research position at my (T20) college in one of my majors, but that wouldn't be my favorite. Are there any companies (even unpaid) still hiring for summer 2024?
