...but what should I be doing? Please don't take this as a negative post toward the game. I only recently got it, and I really don't know what to do. I would really appreciate some tips or guidance.
Things I have done so far:
I've build a small wooden starter house. It has a bed, a crafting table, and a furnace. I fenced in a small lawn. I was told this helps keep monster out and when you get animals you keep them there or something. Anyway, I've also planted a small garden. Not sure what's growing though, except I know I planted three pumpkin seeds. I have stone tools, and I guess I'm supposed to go find some iron now. Guides say it can be found below z-58, but I haven't found any in the mine I dug (think it might be time to look elsewhere). I do have a ton of cobblestone now, though. So yeah, suggestions?

You're literally in a giant sandbox, you can do whatever you think of, but if you really want some advice, I would farm animals, find some villages, create an enchanting table, go to the nether to find blazes and nether warts, kill endermen to get their eyes, combine the eyes with the blaze powder from the nether and travel to The End. And of course, build a huge base with a storage area, a smelting area, a nice bedroom, an area for my farms which I can automate later on with redstone. If you're struggling when building I recommend checking out Grians build school videos on Youtube for some inspiration and tips as well as experimenting building in a creative world.
Iron is definitely your next step. It's easier to find in caves than in hand-dug mines, so make a ton of torches and go spelunking. You may also find some dungeons with fancy loot that'll help you on the way to other things.
If you're low on coal, you can smelt logs in the furnace to get charcoal to make torches.
if your stuck on things to do in this wonderful sandbox adventure game, I'd recommend to check out Hermitcraft on Youtube, they show the amazing things you can do with Minecraft!
