Well, you're not going to jail; so that just leaves you to consider if you if you care whether this crime is the beginning of a criminal record which may adversely affect any educational and employment opportunities.
If you don't want a record, you may want an attorney and plead not guilty.
If you do want a record, plead guilty at your arraignment.

Always plead not guilty and then meet with a lawyer. You have nothing to gain by pleading guilty at this point.
