So I was very stupid to think I could bleach my own hair (please don't hate me) and it turned out like the photos below, I want to get it professionally done, but just can't find the time, and my dilemma is that I have school tomorrow and need a temporary fix to cover it up. Thank You xxxx

I think the best thing to do now is to just dye it back to your natural hair color so you don't go to school with a bad bleach job and your stylist doesn't have to do a lot of work to fix it. If don't want to completely dye it, at Sally's they have temporary spray in color that washed out so you could buy a brown one and just use that :)

I would tone it and see if it looks better but if not then just dye it back your natural color.

I would try parting the hair a different way so you don't see the roots
put your hair up in a bun
braid it

From these photos, it looks more orangey than yellow.
Using a toner may not work.
You'll need to get actual blue hair dye (mixed with conditioner) or silver shampoo and apply it to dry hair.
Let it stay on for about 15 min and it'll make your hair a lightish brown.
It will have to be a yellow to be able to use toner and turn blonde.
Using a color after can result in hair that looks too orangey.
Using a hair color that's lighter won't make it bunch much at all. It may help tone it down but it's a gamble on whether it will or won't.

My hair was in the orange stage and I tried applying a lighter color to either lighten or help tone it, it seems to make my hair darker and more of a strawberry blonde

I agree with Aurora, it's too dark to just tone or purple shampoo to make a noticeable difference. I would agree also with just curling your hair and no one will notice. I wouldn't dye it dark again just to go back to a professional to get it lighter. This will create more work for your stylist and be more damaging to your hair.
