Any other college feeling a lot of FOMO due to covid ruining college?

After seeing how brutal IB culture has become during covid, I've started thinking about how much it sucks that many of us will only really have like 2 years of a real college experience. My school closed last March and has had limited on campus operations since then. While we'll likely be back this fall, it seems things won't truly return to normal until the spring 2022 semester. 

How do you guys feel about only having 4 normal semesters (co 2023)? Any one else with hella fomo? I was hoping to have a great time in college knowing IB would suck most up my 20s after graduation, but now it seems like we won't even get much of that either.
