Not too bad for a first mix.

To my ears, there's a few things to address for your next mix:
The overall balance would be helped by getting the kick and snare more distinct and up-front. This will help you work out the headroom you need for a more punchy mix. The drums and bass essentially 'drive' this song, so getting these working together first should let you find the appropriate levels and tonality for the vocals and other instruments to fit-in with that headroom. Not sure if you're using some kind of level maximizer, but I'm hearing some unpleasant distortion in this mix - distortion of the sort which limiters and maximisers cause when pushing them the 'wrong' way. If you bear with me, I'll download the tracks and do a quick mix to give an I idea of where I'm coming from. I hope this info helps a bit.
