I been doing photography for 4 months now and i am wanting to find a good wide angle lense, a good prime lense, and a macro lense right now i have a Canon t1i with a 18-55mm standard and a 55-250mm Standard, i want to do nightlife, street, landscape, and people photos

Well you've got plenty of choices, about the only thing that matters is your budget. We can't help you without knowing what you want to spend. Probably at least $1,000 for the 3 lenses depending on your definition of "good".

i have a bit of a range of a budget

Really, we need solid numbers to give you any kind of help.

One thing I'm confused about is why you need a macro lens, when you say you want to do "nightlife, street, landscape, and people photos." You don't need a macro for any of those.

Anyhow... here are some options.

cheapest:
Used Sigma 10-20
Canon 50 1.8
kenko extension tubes for macro

cheap:
used Sigma 10-20
Canon 35 f/2
Canon 50mm compact macro

quality:
Tokina 11-16
Sigma 30 1.4
Canon 50mm compact macro

higher quality:
Canon 10-22
Sigma 30 1.4
Canon EF-S 60mm macro

If you want to waste money:
Canon 10-22
Canon 35 1.4L
Canon 100mm macro L IS

a range to at most 1000

Do Accents "quality" selection above, but skip the macro for now.

yeah.. i love the tokina 11-16, definitely a good choice. go with the sigma as well, but watch the quality on them... their qc isn't that strong and sometimes u can get a "soft" copy.. maybe a nifty fifty / thirfty fifty 50mm1.8 would be a good bet as well.

I am also vouching for Tokina

you can't go wrong with a 50mm f1.8, $150 for a new one.

I myself plan to pick up a sigma 10-20 for wide angle. for the price it is a great wide angle

I know jackshit all about macro so I can't help you there.

after I got my 50f1.8 a shortly followed it with an 85mmf1.8 and built better then the 50, and the favorite in my bag at the moment. but it would take a large part of your budget at 600-700 new.

The only lens you will ever need is a 70-200 2.8is. I don't know what I would do without mine.
