Can you engage the clutch fully without the engine stalling?

If so, your clutch is badly worn and requires replacement.

If the engine stalls immediately, then your clutch still has sufficient bite. Who knows for how long?

You may have a bit of oil, or something, on your clutch disc, or the disc may be glazed.

Try "burning it off" by doing a couple of aggressive launches, a.k.a. drag racing starts.

Good luck.
Do I really have to do that? I mean I can feel the clutch grab real hard still, it's just that I thought it isn't normal how it's not really rolling smoothly on the engagement point in 1st gear and the rpms bouncing after I put the clutch in completely.
