Hey /diy/ I just moved into my first apartment and want to add a shelf into this gap in my kitchen. Problem is that i never done anything handy-man in my life and dont know where to start. Can i get some advice?

At least you posted a picture, that is already better than many dumb question threads out there. You need to figure out:

1. Dimensions of you shelf i.e. measurements or how big it is

2. Figure out a way to mount it, if it is plaster board wall, you use anchors, if it is concrete, you use anchors but a different kind, if it is paper, you need to make a stand because the wall is not strong enough.

3. Go to shop, buy wood, cut wood, screw or glue together, and put it on the wall.

>shelf
that's not very descriptive

is it supposed to hang on the wall or be a freestanding unit

people give away free stuff on craigslist daily

otherwise it would take basic hand tools and some wood to make one

stud wall? screw into studs. fuck anchors. they can work. if you have to ask they won't work for you.
brick wall? rawl plugs.

since nobody's said it yet: Don't go drilling holes in the wall until you make sure the landlord is okay with you drilling holes in the walls. Chances are if you can prove you won't completely fuck it up, they'll be fine with it, but ask first.
