I'm fed up and I don't know what I should do

I am in college and my major is Computer Science. I enjoy doing it, truly, it moves my mind and I get such a huge thrill from completing a prohect or at least part of a project that I've been working on. I practically don't need to pay the college for anything, but after I've got my diploma, I'll have to work and be taxed the same amount of months as I've spent there from enrolling to getting my diploma (except the summer months because we didn't have any lessons). Basically this is another way they take payment, which is nice because You don't lose Your money during Your college years, You pay it back by paying taxes afterwards. Anyways, one of the conditions for graduating and getting the diploma is having 499+ hours worked in a related field (so 500 hours and beyond). I should've graduated now but I couldn't because I don't have that yet. And now, the major problem: Noone's gonna take me. You see, college (here at least) doesn't provide You a solid place somewhere where You can learn and practice, work as a trainee and even get paid for it, instead, You have to find a place. And well noone's willing to take me. I have applied for a year to countless places, many of them said they need 1-3 years of experience in their description, but I still tried because I've heard about miracles before, but no surprise, those didn't take me. But the best part is that I've applied to trainee positions too, and all of them so far said "Sorry we chose someone with more experience". How do I get experience if noone lets me? I don't know what to do I am feeling in a deadlock. I cannot work because I need experience and I cannot get experience because I cannot work, and this way I cannot even graduate college and I'll have to pay back like a lot more (yeah I know, in taxes, but still). What do I do? I'm sorry but I'm really fed up, sad confused and disappointed that even if I turn myself upside down and stand on my head and then I start to spin while reciting the longest Japanese manga translated into Mongolian, I still don't achieve anything because I don't have any experience and even the positions that require no experience, do take people with experience.

Edit: Another idea of mine was that I could perhaps create a github repo, which I did, and in which I have some projects, some of them are completed and some of them are not yet, and I'm still working on some of them but most of the recruiters said they don't even bother taking a peek lol

TLDR: I feel like I'm in a deadlock because to work I need experience but can't get experience because I cannot work, and I'mnrunning put of time.
