Howdy @Villaindaze and welcome to the community 
Kudos to you learning Webflow as a design student! It’s definitely got a bit of a learning curve but not only is there a lot of great threads here in the forum, but there are tons of free lessons available in the University.
In terms of your question, it’s going to be a lot easier to answer your question if we can take a peek at your setup in the Designer. If you can reply with a read-only link, I (or someone else) would be more than happy to take a closer look and answer your question
