Unhappy Flying, not what I thought it would be like

Hey all,

Don't really know where to post this but non aviation people won't get it so throwing it here.

I'm quite young and after lots and lots of jobhunting, I got an airline job as f/o close to my home, almost a year ago.

Unfortunately I'm now kind of frustrated and not really happy.. I had always related flying with freedom but I find myself wasting my time at hotels..
Learning to fly was the most fun thing ever. I liked the challenges and rewards it included.
My type rating, especially base training was the most fun thing ever, the best day of my life. But after some months, the challenge is kind of gone and I just do the same thing again, and spend a lot of time away from where I want to be.

I would be too embarrased to tell my parents about this, because of all the money they spent on my training which I couldn't pay back in years.

Does anyone have some input on this?
If money were no object I'd rather go back and study something in university.
I'm 21 years old at this moment.

Thanks all.
