I was bored of university by my third year. I was itching to get out and work. About 2 years later I would have loved to be back at university... Grass is always greener, right?
My reasons were probably different to yours. The computer world certainly wasn't as 'fast' at that point and I was by no means some kind of super student. And FWIW, I don't think my degree really opened any doors after, and 2 or 3 years later I don't think anyone cared at all.
THAT said, stick it out - in the grand scheme of things you don't have long left. Firstly, you'll avoid the "why did you drop out? Will you stick this job out?" questions in every interview you go to for the next few years. Secondly, you won't look back and go "why didn't I just finish that" (which may or may not happen - but only one path means it definitely won't).
Fill your spare time with other stuff. Do courses online, start side projects, find a non CS hobby. It's good practice anyway - pretty much every job from this point onwards will have periods where you think "this is shit" for one reason or another.
Lastly, enjoy yourself. You'll probably only get to do college once and when you look back, it's a tiny sliver of life.
