Hi Lauren and welcome .
If i was in your shoes i would go and get a planisphere from a quality bookshop or astro shop learn how it works get a bananna lounge and lay out under the stars and look up at the constellations.

Check out the bright stars on the planisphere and at the moment just look straight up at the brightest thing in the sky besides the moon and you will see Jupiter.

Take some binoculars with you for starters and lay back and enjoy until you decide totake the next step (beyond the stars and planets).

Cheers Kev.
