Lots of people are getting laid off, I've only 2 years experience, and was laid off a week ago today, I was told it was a necessary downsize, because the company had suddenly stopped selling as much, I've been applying for other jobs, but because I've got savings, I can survive even if I don't find anything for a few months, just like you, I'm taking this time to fill gaps in my skillset, learn new things, and focus on my university courses

also, getting laid off and getting fired are different, lay offs are usually a financial thing, it's not about your skills, you weren't in the wrong, they're trying to minimize how much they spend (including how much they pay employees) so you could probably get a recommendation from your former employer

stay strong
