Oh man - that sucks Jamie - glad you're okay ... before you go to the reporting office you may want to consider the impact on your insurance rates + your deductible vs. the cost of repairing the car on your own dime.
At your age (not being ageist here) your insurance premiums could go up huge for an at fault collision - which for sure they would deem this to be since there was only one car involved.
