One thing's for certain... There's no certainty in this industry.
I went to college, averaged 16-18 credits a semester, did an internship with a major, busted my a$$ only to graduate in 2009 (22 y-o) right after the great recession where nobody was hiring, including the regionals. I scavenged a job instructing at a local FBO in 2010 and moved up in the ranks, got hired at ExpressJet in 2012 (25y-o) then United in 2015 (28 y-o).
Your foresight is a great trait, and so is your motivation. As others have said, don't burn any bridges, stick to your goals, and reduce distractions. You're in college for a reason. I've seen colleagues miss their chance at a legacy job because of short-comings or mistakes in their college years. Be humble in this industry.
All that being said, have fun along the ride because you'll eventually make it to that dream job and look back and wonder if it was worth it.
