I am new to indesign and am trying to create a magazine. I have create a ton of boxes for text to go inside. If possible, I would love for the text to just fit inside the box without having to try twenty different font sizes before it actually fits. Is it possible to just put words in the box and have it automatically fit and fill the box? Any help is appricated. Thank you.

You can set the box to fit the text, but not the other way around.

In any case, what you are suggesting would create a very chaotic layout, with different font sizes for each story. Better to choose the size and font that you want to use, and then adjust your layout to accomodate the size of the stories.
