I only have about two more months before I face the streets.
I'm literally worried sick over not finding a job. Like, the stress has literally made me throw up recently and barely get any sleep.
A bit about me
-recently received an AA degree, though with low GPA
-currently on the last of my financial aid money that I have left over
-no experience
-no references
I had 3 interviews, but I failed them all. If I could do it again, I'd get a job in high school and I would never have been a lazy slacker, but I can't.
Get a TMobile Prepaid cell phone, $100 is 1000 minutes lasting 1 year - that's what I use. Then live in your car, - I have a minivan to live in. Fake an address on a resume and apply for jobs if you have a laptop and free wifi access somewhere.

This. At this point in your life, things are no longer about being ethical - it's about having enough to eat the next day. Be honest first, but if you see an opening you can slither through, lie, fabricate, and do anything you have to do to get a job. Once you get a job, you can then straighten out and get references and other things needed to move forward in the future.

Buy a tent and good low temp sleeping bag, and find a place where you can live in that and HIDE. Get a good lock for your bike, too. In the Philippines people take baths with a bucket of water and a tabu [small "pail" with a handle].

But I think this is a troll post...
This isn't a troll post.
In interviews, I try to differentiate myself by saying that I know business is about money and saying that I will do to the best of my ability my part, to make sure money ends up in the hands of the owner. I recognize that unattended and unsatisfied customers cost the business money.
Sometimes we need to go down to go up. Start applying in person at any job you can, line cook at a restaurant, Home Depot, etc. Just because you can't land a job applying online doesn't mean all your hope is lost. In the time of need we must provide even if that means working at Taco Bell.
What kind of jobs have you applied for? In your situation it would be a good idea to keep all your options open. If you aren't doing so already I would advise you apply to minimum wage jobs too.
OP - Small independently-owned restaurants (not the chains) always need dependable people in the back kitchen. I helped 2 friends open their restaurants in the last 6 months, and they have a very hard time finding dishwashers, cook helpers, etc. So if I were you, I'd go to a restaurant, talk to the owner and see if s/he has a job for you. Good luck.
