If I'm still in school and haven't started paying on student loans yet do I still file my 109-E?

Your 1098-E? No. If you have not made any student loan payments there is no benefit to entering a 1098E on your tax return. Is one of your parents named as a co-signer on the student loan? If so and if a parent has made any payments, then the parent can claim the student loan interest on their return.

No I'm an adult student.

I figured that was the case I just didn't want to be wrong. Thanks!

You are welcome. When you start making payments, you will be able to get a credit for the interest paid in the tax year in which you pay on the student loan.

Okay but I do still need to fill out info for my tuition when filing or no?

Tuition will be a 1098T. Yes, that goes on your tax return. You are not anyone else's dependent, right?
