Welcome Ryan, the stars will always only look as tiny little dots, smaller the better. There is only one star close enough to us to show as a disc, the Sun.

Be sure not to try to view the Sun with your scope.

Not sure what your scope is but it should give you decent views of the moon.
Use the 20mm eyepiece as it will be half as powerful as the 10mm.
If your scope has a finderscope it needs to be aligned in daylight to match the view of the main scope. Use a distant target like a tree, tower or antenna to line up the finder.
For getting the scope roughly aligned you can sight along the tube of the scope, then use your finder to close in on a target before looking through the main scope.

Enjoy!!
