I (19F) feel like i’m in a long distance relationship with my BF (19M) even though we live 15 minutes apart

me (19F) and my boyfriend (19M) have been together for about two years now, and a recurring issue in our relationship is that i feel like i don’t get to see him enough. On a good week it’s around 3 times with 1 sleepover included, but some weeks it’s just a couple of hours, i didn’t realize how large of an issue this was until i got to experience going on vacation with him were we got to spend a whole week without leaving each others sides but now for the last 3 weeks after he’s been working 10 hour shifts monday-friday and often has something planned with family or friends on the weekend. i understand that he has a job and a social life to take care of but i can’t help but feel almost single, if that makes sense? i myself only have like 3 friends that currently are busy traveling with their families and such and i’m just stuck alone at home. That weeks vacation was the best thing that could’ve happen to our relationship, we were almost on the brink of breaking up before it but something about not being able to avoid each other for that much time did wonders on our communication and relationship. i know that there are people in long distance relationship that practically never meet there partners and are fine with that so maybe i’m just being to needy?

TL;DR after spending a whole week with my boyfriend i realized that hanging out once or twice a week doesn’t feel enough.
