How do you survive working 9-5?

I have an objectively good job, but I hate it. The people are okay, the management style is fairly hands off. I don't really like the work and it's fairly pointless, but there isn't too much of it and it's mostly remote. I'm realizing that, even if I end up having a great job that I do well at, I will always resent my job. I don't have a ton of fun on afternoons and weekends, but I desperately look forward to them. I want to have more of my own time. As a student, it's weird to me that people have just accepted that 9-5 5 days a week is standard and it's (therefore) okay to lose so many of your waking hours, especially if you have a long commute.
