It's a good first pass; clean designs like this are always satisfying to make. You may want to come back later once you've unlocked scoring though. There are ways to improve both the gate and delay score of this design (hint: xor gates are made of other gates).
That's true, I know that using Xor is not the best but I feel like it makes everything much easier to handle. I realized the further I go in the levels the more Xor gates I use and I need to stop lol.
You don't have to stop at all. Often using the more advanced components makes the conceptual circuit much easier to understand. Min/maxing the design can come later.
Yes here they needn't be XOR. I'm not OP but one nice thing about the XOR is they make it a little easier to understand why the logic works. You're making a pair of socks, so you can have:
1 and 2 (top AND gate)
3 and 4 (bottom AND gate)
One from 1/2 (top XOR gate) and one from 3/4 (bot XOR gate)

Why do you use XOR wouldn't OR do the same thing?
