1)study,gym.
2)coffe
3)A lot, I love what I do, study other math related stuff in my free time
4)the site Mathematics Stack Exchange will help you to find books, there's lot of questions of the kind: "what are the best books on x"
5)internet + professor advise
6)bro tip -> if you find a book that's just a little above your level try it, even if you don't have 100% prerequisites try it, this is a good way of advancing.

Ask your teachers what they'd recommend most are really cool and interested in talking about math whenever

Arxiv or just google it

Ask grad students or professors in the area. Alternatively just try to read it and see if you understand what you're reading

Anything else you want to know?

Should I continue to major in math if it's just something I enjoy rather than my number one passion? Im only in calc 2 so im barely even worthy enough to call myself a math major but I just am unsure if I have the drive to continue when things get really tough. I just dont want to fuck myself by getting a shitty degree

you're taking calc 2 in college? your math degree probably won't be worth a lot by the time you graduate, unfortunately
