Ok, so I have just started looking into the verb conjugations (thanks Rusty and Luna Azul). So, here's a sentence. Let me know if i did it right. Thanks in advance!

Al fin del dia, habré caminado tres millas.
At the end of the day, I will have walked three miles

You're welcome!

I just added 'get a life' to the idioms section. The phrase you used works, but there are more popular ways to say it. Search for the other phrases using Google. This little exercise will help you to see how popular each phrase is (by number of hits). You may also want to figure out how to use the imperative (command form: Get a life!). Try your hand at that.

You're gonna have to help me out. I looked up the conjugations for the verb agarrar and the imperative, if I was talking to you, is agarra. What am I missing. . . pariente

The conjugation is correct.
It's the last word that doesn't belong, unless I'm totally misunderstanding what you're trying to say.

Did you try the little exercise to see what the most popular expression is?
Try conjugating it into the second-person imperative.
(Aid: The reflexive pronoun remains suffixed to the verb in the imperative, but you need to retain the stressed syllable of the verb throughout conjugation.)
