I just bought my first 3D printer, and I cant get anything to print, its an Ender 3 V2 Neo, my bed is level, I think my nozzle is close enough to the bed, but, I'm having constant issues with the first layer not sticking, stringing, underextrusion, and the filament just curling into pasta as soon as it leaves the nozzle.

It sounds like you might be dealing with a few different issues there. Here are some steps that might help:

Make sure that your build surface is clean. A dirty or greasy surface can prevent the first layer from sticking properly. Clean it with rubbing alcohol or a similar cleaner.
Try adjusting your nozzle height. If the nozzle is too close to the bed, the filament won't be able to come out properly and it will curl up. If it's too far away, the filament won't stick to the bed. A good trick is to use a piece of paper to set your nozzle height - loosen the nozzle and slide a piece of paper between the nozzle and bed, tighten the nozzle until you feel slight resistance when pulling the paper out.
Make sure your extruder is calibrated correctly. Check that your extruder is pushing enough filament through.
Check that your filament is free of knots and tangles. You can also try using a different spool of filament to see if that helps.
Make sure that the temperature of...

Flip the plate and print on the glass. Also when you level make your nozzle closer to the print bed and don't put so much glue
