Hi, Amber! The absolute best way to learn Spanish, as with any language, is to move to a place where we have to use it routinely. However, that's obviously not possible for everyone, so the next best way is to find opportunities to expose yourself to Spanish as often as possible. Since you're also in the US, you probably have access to Spanish-language television channels. Watch those frequently. La Opinión is the largest Spanish-language newspaper in the US; read their articles to get the latest news in Spanish instead of English. You can also download some apps that will really help you build your vocabulary and help with basic sentences; I recommend Duolingo and Memrise. Whatever you do, stay persistent. There will be times where you'll feel like quitting due to various reasons. Don't! Spanish is such an awesome, useful language, and knowing it will open doors for you within and outside the US.
