I'm creating a backbone for a school project, but I'm running into "unresolved external symbol" errors. According to previous problems mentioned on this site, I think have to manually link my project to a .lib file. Problem is, I don't know exactly which .lib I need to link to. Can someone explain like I'm twelve?

Seems like you didn't actually implement the functions getDay, getMonth, and getName.
