How do you decide what to print and what sites do you use to find free files? Im having a hard time finding 3d prints and the harder part is picking a file i like.

Anything in particular you are looking for?
I always start with printables and then branch out to cults as needed.
McMaster Carr for small parts.
I believe i mostly like little hand tools or anything that could be useful. Im pretty new to the world of 3d printing i would say.
Most site (not stl search site) have “collection” or “tags”, when you find something you like, check if it under some collection/tag.

https://www.printables.com/search/models?q=tag%3Ahandtools
Consider starting with organizational aids. 3d printing is great for things that hold other things. Start with simple modifications like resizing models to fit your needs and branch out to more complex customizations and cad building from there.
