Ok so anyone answering please be aware that I am a complete beginner to all of this. But I have installed jdk1.8.0 because that is what the newest version of android studio needs, but when I open Android studio up, it says I still need to change it. So after a lot of research I made a new Java_Home variable and set the directory to where my jdk file was. I then went into android studio file, project structure, then changed that jdk directory as well. However, when I click ok, It still doesn't work, and when I go back to the project structure, it changes from jdk version 8, to my old jdk version 7 directory. For some reason it isn't saving :(. I would really appreciate some help here.

You could try to disable the old JDK in the "Java Control Panel" (JCPL). Start the JCPL by double-clicking on jre\bin\javacpl.exe (it's a Swing application, i.e. it has a GUI). Choose tab "Java" and click on the button "View ..." to see a table with all installed JDKs. Each JDK has a checkbox "Enabled", which should be unchecked for the old JDK.
When you restart Android Studio after this it should ask you for the path of the JDK.
The following question might also be helpful to solve this issue: Android Studio JDK location changes back to 1.7 every time it is updated to 1.8 path
