I have made mistakes which I cannot take back. Nothing horrible just bad judgement. Should I do a 180 and change until they fire me or get out now? By the way this is not related to anything against the law.

If you think you can get unemployment when you are let go then don't quit - you won't be eligible if you quit. The best thing you can do is to start looking for another job. It's always easier to get a job when you have one...

It is up to you. Firing someone is not an easy thing to do, and if you want the job, it may be in your best interest to wait it out. If I really wanted the job, I would go talk to them and explain your side, tell them you are sorry, and say you want to change. As a manager I would respect your honesty.
Also, check your companies HR policies. Alot of companies cannot just fire someone, there needs to be a warning, a second warning, and then a firing. If your company is small, these types of policies might not be applicable.

Maybe you are being too hard on yourself. Keep the job. Put the ball in their court. If they want to fire you, then let them. Just wake up everyday, go to work, and do the best job you can. It's not good for your well being to just quit. Because the next time something comes up, you handle it the same way. Have a "I'm a fighter" attitude.

If you like the job, and feel that you can learn something and grow by being there, then you need to figure out if you are willing to change and make amends if necessary to stay there. Quitting should only be a last resort, only if its just impossible to stay there (you hate it or they're making it real hard for you, or whatever).
Maturity means learning from your mistakes so you don't make them again, not running away from your responsibility for your actions.

Be aware that if you quit, you will not be eligible for unemployment. If they let ou go, then you will get unemployment compensation from your state or local government. If you know that you will be fired, then confront the person who will fire you and ask him or her what you did wrong. Maybe you won't get fired and at least you're not wondering....What do you have to lose????

additionally to what's already been stated above; you might want to check to see what your local and state laws are. In many states even if they did fire you, they could not state that in reference checks. Often they are only able to answer, duration of employment, salary, and position, sometimes they are able to answer if they would hire you back. Again it depends on what state you are in. Many of these such states are "Right to Work States"

If you quit, it will affect your ability to get social assistance if you cannot get another job right away.

No, if they fire you there is a chance that you can draw unemployment.
