When I installed Arch I created a root swap home in my hard drive.
My question is, how do I cd in the terminal to my home partition I created on sda3?
Using a click and drag of a text file my computer says this, /run/media/scapegoat24/06fb9e02-6e46-4884-b89a-720f4c9772a9. Now is that the actual path and the (06fb9e02-6e46-4884-b89a-720f4c9772a9) the name of my /home partition? If so that is not what I want to be typing in the command line everytime I wish to cd to the /home partition.. How would I change the name of this if it is the actual path I have to go through?

Your home partition should be mounted at /home - why are you mounting it in /run/media? Do you not have an entry for it in fstab?
If it is set up correctly, you can move to it by just issuing cd without arguments.

Ah thank you! cd changed it from / to ~. I wasn't trying to mount it on /run/media that is the path that was trying to be used when I didnt sudo mount it from my filesystem and dragged the text file to the unmounted device in the devices tray and thought that was the actual path.
Thanks jasonwryan.

I was confused as to if my stuff was being saved to /home or /root. However I see now that my 470GB /home is 437GB /home and my 15GB /root is 12GB left now.
Update once again, when I mount the 470GB device I believe is my /home partition it says that its location is /run/media/scapegoat24. And it has nothing in its contents... All of my pictures/media is being saved to my root partition. And it says that my device is named 06fb9e02-6e46-4884-b89a-720f4c9772a9?

Solved now. I hadn't set up my /home partition correctly during installation. I fixed this by deleting the culprit (06fb9e02-6e46-4884-b89a-720f4c9772a9) and creating a new partition of which I edited into /etc/fstab after backing up my current /root's home to the new partition. There was a guide I used http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome . I rebooted and now my partition is associated correctly.
Will mark solved.
