I got fired (well, laid off) under very similar circumstances, at a similar age, working for a company in a similar niche.
My experience, which may not be the same for you, was that the small company was in financial trouble and tried to hire grads as a cost-cutting measure, then discovered that people with no experience don't work very fast, and that they weren't getting the kind of contracts they thought they'd be getting.
The emotional response to getting fired is going to suck and probably already sucks, but it's important to remember that your emotional response isn't a completely objective take on what happened. You're still a grad, you still have a degree, you now have months of experience, and hopefully the next job will be better.
