> Seems like I loaded the film incorrectly and nothing was on them, so I hate my life right now. Let’s skip this part then.

That's a shame! It's a mistake almost everyone that has used a film camera has made, though.

On these older SLRs, one thing you can do to check that the film is loaded properly is to watch the rewind crank as you advance to the next frame. If everything is loaded and the film is engaged properly, you should see it turn.
