Kayla,
Don't be shy to ask, this is your time to ask questions and learn as much as you possibly can and try to be be hands-on to learn the details of how things are done so you can be able to efficiently manage in the future.
On another note, I advise you to work on your professional development in parallel with your work experience.
Hope this makes sense.
Good Luck,
RK

I'd add - never lose sight of the business case supporting a project's existence. It is too easy to get tunnel vision as far as scope, schedule and cost goes, but if you forget WHY we are doing a given project you could end up with the "operation was a success but the patient died" outcome!
Keep studying, improving your skills, learning about (project) management, e.g. business analysis, agile, program, portfolio. Learn about technologies, e.g. Web, Cloud, Desktop, Mobile, Design (products, process, systems, ), UX Communication (join Toastmasters), Leadership. Produce your own content, write, play, develop, build So many things to learn, to try...assure you are using your time the best you can, remember clock is ticking Saving Changes...

I echo Tiago's sentiments: keep learning and growing. Toastmasters is one of the best--and inexpensive--investment you can make for yourself. Saving Changes...
