Figured I would pick up soldiering electronics as a new skill. This is the first thing I created, it works. Any tips or ideas are appreciated!

Flux is your friend. Do not be scared to use it. I like RMA-218 myself.

Solder does have flux inside of it, but having separate flux gives you much more control over where the flux goes, and it will do a relatively better job at cleaning oxidation from your pads and leads, leading to a better joint.
