Brutally bored at the job

So I just hit the 12 month mark - the first 8 months or so kind of flew by because I was so scared of messing up and learning stuff. I have objectively gotten quite a good ways up the learning curve now and can turn stuff quickly/accurately for the most part, which is nice. But I am so damn bored. Recently it feels like mental torture to sit at my desk from 8am to well past dark daily. I can likely just make it to the 2 year mark largely an autopilot but I hate this is how I am spending my life as a 23/24/25 year old. I am doing well in PE offers but feel somewhat certain it is going to be the same shit. The one part of some days I enjoy is blasting music and going hard at the gym or going out with my friends.
