I know many people who were in the exact same situation as you while at uni. I hope you find value.

For me, my hobbies probably gave me 2x more experience, but uni forced me to learn things i would have never learned by myself. It made me believe self taught engineers were inherently flawed from only knowing what they themselves thought was important.

I'm sure you'll find value at the end, but I think you are valid in feeling you are wasting time.
