Happy birthday and congratulations on your new camera.
When you get your new camera the first thing you'll need to do is read & study the Owner's Manual that comes with it. While you're waiting you should spend time at these sites.
http://www.nikondigitutor.com/eng/d3200/index.html Who better than Nikon to teach you to use your Nikon D3200? You'll want to watch this again after you get your camera. This is not a substitute for reading & studying the Owner's Manual.
There are four components of photography you need to learn about. They are: Light, Composition, Exposure and Depth of Field.
Light

Composition

Exposure
http://www.digital-photography-school.com/learning-exposure-in-digital-photography While you may decide to never shoot in Manual you still need to know and understand the Exposure Triangle.
Depth of Field
http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/depth-of-field.htm Understanding depth of field - what it is and how to control it - will enhance your photography. Some pictures such as landscapes need maximum depth of field while some pictures such as portraits or perhaps a single flower need minimum depth of field to isolate them from the background.

Another, more difficult to explain part of photography is called "seeing photographically". There really is a difference between looking at a scene and actually seeing the photographic opportunities within that scene. This site deals with the subject.

This may seem like a lot to learn and it is. However, the sooner you start the better.
Once you have your camera and a basic understanding of how to use it your first impulse will be to go out and just shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot. That is not how you get good results. You've read about Light, Composition, Exposure and Depth of Field so you need to learn to think about those things before releasing the shutter. Good photography requires thinking so the sooner you learn to think about Light, Composition, Exposure and Depth of Field the better. If all you do is point & shoot point & shoot point & shoot point & shoot then all you'll get are poorly done snapshots. A chimpanzee could do that.
As though all of the above wasn't enough, there is one more thing to learn. You must learn to pay attention to everything in your viewfinder. Learn to look for possible distractions. A dead tree branch. Power lines. Litter. A bright area in the foreground or background. A tree or pole that appears to be "growing" out of your subject's head. Such distractions can be eliminated or at least minimized by simply changing your composition but first you have to see them. NOTE: Yes, I know that you can often use an editing program to remove such distractions but would you rather be out with your camera making pictures or sitting at your computer doing what you could have done before you released the shutter? This old saying - "Get it right in the camera" - should always be your goal.
Photography is a never-ending learning experience.
