OP, get a cheap tripod or a bean bag to rest the camera.
taking all comments listed above...

set your camera to AV
set your aperture to your liking... widest aperture (lowest number if you want bokeh) but i think you're using kit lens?

time consuming but shutter release, set it to either 2 secs or 10 secs (iirc that is the standard canon times)

click and let go and wait and see...

what you're doing here is to prevent any vibrations on the shutter release by using the timer... resting it on bean bag or tripod will keep the camera steady even for longer exposure...

now once you see how a properly exposed shot will look like, try picking up some cheap clamp on flood lights and light it or bounce it off a surface.

oh, don't use pop up flash
always remember to set to auto white balance.


and when you have chance, put the camera on Av mode for a month, use it, learn it... Tv mode for month, use it and learn it, then Manual mode... you would be quite surprised what a simple consumer level dslr can do...
