Canon Noob

How's it going? i have always had something for taking pictures. I loved taking pictures with my cell phone but decided it wasn't enough. so i went all out and purchased a Canon T2i. it is my first camera that isn't attached to a phone haha, i'm hoping everyone here can give me some tips and advice on becoming a better photographer.
Here are some pictures i have taken. They are not edited, everything was done on my camera. I am slowly learning off of reading the manual but it's hard to learn off of a book. let me know what you think.
