Hello ekimstreets…
I don't know if you are still keeping up with this post as it has been 3 months, but I would be glad to teach you some basic openings. However, I can only show you the basics and most common moves, as I am only a beginner as well, but I do have knowledge with openings.
I have sent you a 14 day daily match challenge. If you accept it, we can play through and I’ll teach you as we go.
If possible, please tell me your time zone so we can find a suitable time for you.

"i think studying openings might be useful" ++ No it is not. Study endgames, practice tactics.

Watch "Hanging Pawns" overviews, and choose your favorite openings, here's a guide from a GM:
https://www.chess.com/article/view/picking-the-correct-opening-repertoire
If you don't feel like reading, there's a summary at the end.

I think you first need to recognize what your character in chess is, then you choose an opening accordingly.
I, for one, am positional, but very aggressive. - these things are considered to contradict each other, so it took me much time to find the right openings. Against e4 I play e5 - you need much memory but it's more fun than Caro Kann, French, Sicilian - I tried all three. Against d4 I was Very confused, tried almost everything. Eventually - King's Indian Defense.
As White - d4. [after playing e4 for 10 years, and c4 for 2 months]

Only if you try, sort of 'all of them' (not including the ones that look terrible to you) you can rest assure you have chosen the best opening for you. That's sort-of what I did. I tried everything, not including: Alekhine Defense, Pirc, Benoni, Slav, Leningrad Dutch, Bird, Polish.
P.S. The French Defense is a Great opening, it will win you Many games. But I stopped because you I think Black needs to be too clever / vigilant with his kingside, so I returned to 1...e5 - old faithful - go ahead White - gambit me!

A theme, try gambits and try to win development advantage over material...
Just play more games and play any opening you can find. Just make sure it's solid and don't play a London. London is for people that are lazy and want to have a quick fix against anything they will face and then quit chess after a few months because it is boring. I would analyze my games afterwards with an engine to see where in the opening I went wrong or could improve and build on that

For black against e4 i think the caro kann is great and easy to play and learn, for white id recommend the kings indian attack to learn as ur first opening, very aggressive opening and i feel the kings indian really can show you how to attack in general

Even as a French player, people struggle against it because no one plays it. I had to find a Chessable's course to find a solution. Also, Caro is fine although you do need to learn the different setups White has against it which is a lot more the French.
i think studying openings might be useful.
