Did any of you ever feel like in a bid to excel at academics and make your career, specially when you were from a middle class family, you missed out on the fun, teenage part of your life?

I am 20 and life till now has been like one target to achieve after another. Coming from a middle class family with almost nothing to inherit down the line, I often feel like I missed out on everything teenage in my pursuit of good academics and a bright career. Whether it be the interaction, flings, falling in love, travelling, making memories, you name it. Is it normal and will I be able to make up for it if I keep on grinding and putting in the hard work?
