So, I am starting java and fail to understand why I would use a constant over a variable. Doesn't a variable basically become a constant if I just don't change its value anywhere?

Functionally, yes. If you never modify a variable it's effectively a constant. However, it's good practice to mark variables as "final" if you don't plan to change them, since it makes your code clearer for the reader.
