I have a student loan, but haven't started paying it off yet since I don't have the funds (yes, it's building interest). Do I still need to include my loan on here?

No, you do not need to enter anything about your student loan on your tax return until you begin to re-pay it and have a 1098E to show the interest paid.  Your loan is not income.
