Hannah, Welcome to Ice In Space. You've come to the right place for advice.
I whole heartedly agree with the advice to buy a pair of 10x50mm binos instead of a wobbly scope of small aperture.
Because what are binos? They are 2 telescopes joined together. You are viewing the sky in glorious Stereo.
The telescopes you are looking at while they are 76mm, once you subtract the central obstruction they are essentially just a 50mm scope. Which is just half a pair of binoculars of 10x50mm size. Honestly, the views you will get through a pair of binoculars will blow those scopes out of the water.
Here are some links for you to read. I have the book "Binocular Astronomy" it's awesome and includes star maps too, which is an excellent bonus.

I have 2 pair of binoculars and I use both regularly to cruise the night sky. They are essential kit for any astronomer.
I'd also advise buying a camera tripod and binocular adaptor so you can mount your binos for easier viewing. Ones arms can get pretty tired and shaky after holding them up for a while.
