Getting all my packages and opening up everything to an array of parts I barely even remember ordering was definitely intimidating.

Preparing my breadboard, I realized with the help of others that Arduino + Micro USB cable = DC Power Jack + Regulator. I went through multiple ways to create a successful circuit around the board.

As for the pushbuttons, it came with ease to have the LEDs light up with ALL or one at a time to light up one LED. However, I tried to experiment and try to pair a button with each light, and unfortunately could not figure it out. I tried combining what I've learned however, the first LED would light up no matter what due to my connecting wires finding a way back to the same row as the Red pushbutton.
