Guys I think I might give up

I know it's really fucking stupid, but I’m just exhausted. Honestly, I think all signs are pointing to the fact that this is not for me. I was rejected from every single college that I applied to in high school, and it was understandable, I had low stats, no EC’s, and no good LORs. Also, I didn't think I'd be able to handle university-level rigor anyway. I still wanted to go to college and earn a degree, because I am/was pre-med. I wanted to be a doctor. I improved significantly at community college, I strived, and I maintained a strong academic performance while simultaneously working full-time to support myself, and balancing multiple internships. I applied this cycle, and it’s not looking good for me. My safety school is unfortunately closing due to financial issues, and I got rejected from most of my targets, now all that’s left are insane reaches, and I will surely be rejected. New me, same old story. If I get rejected everywhere this cycle, I don't think I really have the capacity to do another semester at community college and reapply next cycle. Maybe this is a sign I was never meant for it in the first place since I gave up this easily. I’m just exhausted, I wouldn't care much if I were already at a university. At the very least, I’d still he working towards a degree, but I’m a community college student. All I have are credits that willing go towards nothing, because for most fields the minimum degree required is a bachelor’s, not an associate's. I don't want to be all melancholic or ruin anyone’s celebrations with my post, but I guess I’d really like to hear from other people in similar situations. How are we all coping, and what is everyone’s plans going forward? My questions are mostly geared towards CC transfers, but feel free to answer as a transfer student in general.
