I don't know what to do now. Working is all I've ever done when I'm home and not in school. By cutting me 3 weeks early, they have effectively cost me over $1000 that I need for rent and tuition this year. I have yet to call my boss (front end team leader) who has recently been promoted to assistant store team leader. She was the manager last night when this all occured. I don't hope to get my job back, but I hope to clear my name at the store.
I don't know what I hoped to accomplish by posting this , but maybe I can stop worrying so much about what I'm going to do for this year.
cliff notes : I made a mistake and broke a rule at work. They immediately fired me for it. I am now out a significant portion of tuition and rent for this year. First time being fired. It sucks.

Woa Nelly. Don't feel bad, I repeat don't feel bad. The very unforunate lesson here is an important one.
Corporations do NOT value loyalty or anything from Employees anymore and haven't for years. It's only getting worse.
Do not attempt to clear your name or anything, just put that place in the past where it belongs.
Keep your chin up and FEEL like they did YOU a favor because you know what? They did do you a foavor by giving you the opportunity to find a much better Employer.
You've accomplish by posting here a Internet Community that understands and I'm sure the feedback helps (of course ignore the few Trolls and don't know any better yet kiddies that post).
You're only 20 and have the whole world ahead of you as an Oyster, Relish it.
You will find a way to make up that $1,000 and then some.
