Group Therapy: I'm Bored and Stressed With My Relationship

Alright so I have the attention span of a fly, and I thought things would be different with my boyfriend — but sadly I was mistaken. I love my boyfriend, unless I'm lying to myself, and we have discussed being together for quite awhile (six months already). But something is off. Our relationship is long distance which is super stressful. Half the time I'm sexually frustrated and I get bored with just texting, etc. (He's working on getting a camera so we can Skype — big change! *sarcasm*) I just feel like nothing is right.
I am 17 (yes I am young please no snooty comments), graduating high school early, and am realistic, some would say pessimistic, person in the view of the world. I can't change that I'm never happy. It's just how things are. My boyfriend is super sensitive. Some days I really don't like him and some days I do. But I always love him despite it all. I lost my virginity to him and as cliché as it is, I want to only be with him. I picture our life together in the future when we're both out of college and successful in our careers, beautifully. He wants the same thing, surprisingly. But the problem is I am so impatient. I hate waiting for the things I believe I have a right to. And I'd hate to think what we have is temporary.

He's my boyfriend for Christ sake; I should be able to see and be with him when I please. It's already difficult during the high school years when these should be the easy years! I just don't know. I don't want to leave my boredom because I can't get my shit together. But I don't want to settle and there will always be a little questionable doubt of that in my mind no matter who I am with. Advice please?
