The quality of the weld doesn't look bad. Probably good enough for most stuff you will be doing.
MIG welding is the easiest welding. Practice makes a good welder.
I assume you were welding in a flat position. It gets trickier when you start welding vertical and overhead.
Watch your penetration. If you don't get full penetration, you are basically creating a built-in crack on the opposite side where failure can occur.
When you weld in the real world, bevel your joints. It helps a lot with getting full penetration.
