Time. Ironically University does not allow students time to truly digest things, to dwell on them to follow them where they lead. There's always another assignment, another claas, another exam.
In one sense you have a lot of time now, but you are being drowned in new concepts and ideas. Too many to properly digest.
Goal 1 is to pass, and get your degree. Goal 2 is to set aside some time to explore and dig. You can't assimilate everything, but you can take this opportunity to see what excites you, what interests you.
Cast a broad net. I took a few electives that were "interest only" (unrelated to my major). I sat in a few random classes of random subjects. I connected with others doing the same major and we spent time going down rabbit holes together.
Mostly though, you'll have a lifetime of life. Sometimes you'll have no time (baby in the house) at other times you'll have gaps to fill. Without the pressure of an exam you'll be able to take all the time you need.
Turns out, I never really needed or cared about the math. So I don't spend a lot of time on that. Other things did grab my fancy, and I've gone down those roads along the way.
Most of all remember that learning doesn't stop when you leave. It's just getting started.
