I just graduated college and I’m looking to start work in either graphic design or animation. I have skills in Adobe and Final Cut Pro’s families. I looked for jobs, but all positions require previous work experiences, so I figured I need an internship.
Where can I find internships, preferably to be done online, much like freelance work is done???

You will struggle to find an internship anywhere. I would advise getting experience by working on indie projects, for the first year I worked part time in a call center and for the rest of my day designed websites, logos, branding, characters, concept art for a tiny cost to local businesses. Not only did this help those businesses but it gave me some fantastic reviews and references.
Create a website (I advise moonfruit) that looks nice, use plenty of flash widgets and animations to show off your flare and then offer your services to local businesses who you think need a rebrand (word it well though else it seems insulting).
Good luck.
