Some actual advice for other chess noobs like me who blunder all over.
Your queen is your most valuable piece and many other noobs are over relying on it,
Therefor always try to do a queen trade whenever possible, stops you from blundering her away and gives you an experience advantage over many opponents.
Sacrificing your powerful pieces always throws off the opponent, wondering what the hell they don't see.
Sooooo, I just suggest to my opponent that we just dump our queens?
I wish I had thought of that before
