Whenever I restart the MBP it logs into a username that I don't use all that much. How do I set up a default username to log in to upon booting the MBP?
 
Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon. Click on the lock in the lower left-hand corner to unlock it, if necessary.

On the left pane, near the bottom, click on "Login Options". At the top of the right pane you will see "Automatic login:" with a popup box next to it. Choose the user name you want to automatically log in.
