Used Book in Good Condition
You need some grounding in foundational topics like Propositional Logic, Proofs, Sets and Functions for higher math. If you've seen some of that in your Discrete Math class, you can jump straight into Abstract Algebra, Rigorous Linear Algebra (if you know some LA) and even Real Analysis. If thats not the case, the most expository and clearly written book on the above topics I have ever seen is Learning to Reason: An Introduction to Logic, Sets, and Relations by Nancy Rodgers.
Some user friendly books on Real Analysis:
Some user friendly books on Linear/Abstract Algebra:
Topology(even high school students can manage the first two titles):
Some transitional books:
Plus many more- just scour your local library and the internet.
Good Luck, Dude/Dudette.
You are missing Abstract Algebra that usually comes before or after Real Analysis. As for that 4chan post, Rudin's book will hand anyone their ass if they havent seen proofs and dont have a proper foundation (Logic/Proofs/Sets/Functions). Transition to Higher Math courses usually cover such matters. Covering Rudin in 4 months is a stretch. It has to be the toughest intro to Real Analysis. There are tons of easier going alternatives:
Real Mathematical Analysis by Charles Pugh
Understanding Analysis by Stephen Abbot
A Primer of Real Functions by Ralph Boas
Yet Another Introduction to Analysis
Elementary Analysis: The Theory of Calculus
Real Analysis: A Constructive Approach
Introduction to Topology and Modern Analysis by George F. Simmons
...and tons more.
Here are some great books that I believe you may find helpful :)
and last but definitely not least:
