Everyone around me tells me to go to university, but this seems ridiculous to me, I feel like I’m wasting my time while studying, I feel like I’m losing while others are winning, what does studying at a university do for me?

A few things. 1) teach you to learn and work hard. 2) teach you things that have high cost to learn/barrier to entry. You need a lab etc. 3) mentoring 4) give you required/legal papers to practice a craft.
Basically if your education doesnt teach you high level math, requires a lab or gives you legal ability to do some job, you could probably have learned the thing faster by yourself. If you know how to work hard.
If the above isnt part of the subject you study its also unlikely to learn you how to work hard.
Some educations might also provide competition that will push you.
If anyone noticed these education are pretty much only STEM.
Finally when getting your first job employeers often want “proof” that you learned something or at least have to ability to complete something.
