Permissions in Ubuntu 18.04

I have made a big jump from my own clickidy HHD to a new SSD. I waited to install the new 18.04 until I switched out the drives in my laptop. Enough rambling...
The problem I'm having is ownership and permissions with everything. I can't rename files, I can't launch programs because they're untrusted and ownership shows "root" on what I'm use to seeing as "me." I've checked my account settings and it shows I am set as an administrator. Could it be because when I installed I selected OEM install instead of standard install? (Which kept failing by the way.) Are these the new characteristics of 18.04? How can I get back to being able to use my laptop as I use to, without having to open a terminal and sudo everything?
