Prior to college, math was what I was best at. But for me, math was more of a starting point than a career I'd want to pursue. See if you like physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or even computer science. That last was the one I picked as my major. If you like logic puzzles and computers as much as I did, seriously think about going into something computer related. It's a great field to get into right now, and it is still rapidly growing.

It sounds like you've got a lot of options open to you still, and you aren't sure where you want to end up. You might even consider delaying a few of your general education courses to try to take some courses in some of the majors you'll be considering to see how you like them.

If you decide that Math is still your biggest interest, I'd encourage you to double major with something else. I suspect you'll find there are a lot of math oriented fields that will interest you more. Ask to take some technical or engineering courses, and see what you like.
