Hey Pog, I'm a few years older than you, but still a newbie at this myself. My advice - download Stellarium from http://www.stellarium.org/ and get a feel for it. It's probably the best free bit of software out there that I've found so far!

Then, using stellarium and your binos, get out there and learn the sky! Just knowing your way around the constellations is going to help you jump right in when you do get a scope. If you live in a nice, dark area there are plenty of clusters that will look amazing in your binos, too.

Have fun!
