Kirstang, once you get out of school, no one really cares what the grades are. They care more about the piece of paper that says you've graduated. And what you've laid out here shows why that piece of paper has become so important.
It is not easy to avoid burnout. That's what I would say this feels like from personal experience. You've dumped years of your life into a goal that now that you're 95% of the way there, you don't feel like you have as much to show for it as you should have.
Having a good sample of writing for yourself has proven to be far more useful to me than flashing my transcript. It is something tangible that puts out my ideas and shows my ability to write logically and critically. I've used this on several job interviews.
Also, just because you have not been published yet does not mean you can never be published. A friend used his senior thesis for 3 different articles that were accepted and published in peer reviewed journals once he was done writing - there is still hope yet!
