@joshth What did you major in? You could always look into contracting companies like VOLT. Being a contractor can suck but a lot of companies get QA from contracting companies. That is what I did while I was in school at a company in NC and worked my way up to a programmer, but doing that might be a harder thing to do depending on the company you work for. Though I would not say being in QA is entirely sustainable for the long term.
If you want to do more then just QA games (which I suggest) you need to make something on your own! I can not say that enough. Making something on your own shows that you can complete something and you will be way ahead of some of the other applicants if you have something to show. It doesn't have to be big. Just make something small that does something really well. If you are a programmer have a Github page that you can show code that you have made.
