I get the feeling that you are either vastly undervaluing yourself or you don't have much to offer. Either is fine--but you should know which of the two applies best to you. You might still get an internship, but I'd argue if you give it some thought, you could get more bang for your buck(time and skills)! 1. Pretend that due to a constraint, you cannot offer your services for free 2. Ask yourself how much you can charge? 3. You'll likely find yourself asking what you'll be charging for. Note down the answers because they are your best skills. 4. If you want to do it for free, think about what you'd like to gain in return. Consider it like swapping salary for a new skill or two. This is a simple process to jot down what you can contribute, what your skills may be worth, what you may be able to exchange your current skills for. As opposed to random crapshoot which will probably lead to a disappointing end--as most things do if you're not somewhat clear about your goals. Good luck! I saw your tumblr and you definitely have insights you can apply to all kinds of work.
