I've finally decided to just start working on a personal project. After creating a new project in Django, I tried to start app and that's when I ran into some strange error. Well that's new! I googled the error and came across this helpful suggestion by adamchainz that did the trick. I don't exactly understand what he's saying but converting it to a string worked. I must have done something wrong, but I'm not sure what. The only commands i ran were startproject and startapp. So surely that alone should have allowed me to create apps in the project without errors? Perhaps I will understand what went wrong one day.
