Many of the great shots are on a wide angle lens. There is a good EF-S lens that is a 10-22 that would be great for the Wide angle stuff.
A macro lens would help you for other types of shots.
But seriously, go buy a "nifty fifty" right now. (EF 50mm F1.8.) Its $75, super plasticey, and the absolute best $75 you can spend on your DSLR... its super fast, produces amazing shallow depth of field shots, and is super fun for doing portraits. Fun indoors with no flash too.
