Don't get used to that. Most style guides require that you use Times New Roman, size 12 or 10; double-spaced.

Like, fonts that are just lines are nice, ones that stick out (Look at the T in Times new roman, it's got little things on the sides of the top of the T.) I dont like any of those. Includes garamond.

The "little things on the sides" are called serifs. Times New Roman, Book Antique, Garamond, Georgia, etc., are Serif fonts. Arial, for example, is a "sans serif" font. Sans is latin and means "without."
You should always choose a font that's appropriate to the project. Typography is a profession unto itself, remember. Choosing your typeface should not be arbitrary.
