“I am physically not happy and I don’t even have to go to california it could be anywhere”

Did you get to the counseling center yet? This isn’t so you get an attitude adjustment, but rather so that you get the very best advice you can for your decision-making.

You have a lot of difficult things to think about. You will give up a significant scholarship, and have very little chance of getting an equivalent one anywhere else once you are a transfer. You need to know what the financial consequences are. Can you and your mom easily pay for the community college? Will you stay at the CC until you have your associates degree? Will you want to transfer later to a 4-year college/university, or will you complete a shorter career-focused program instead? If you expect to transfer, what financial limits will you and your mother face?

I know a number of students who transferred to a CC after a miserable semester or two at the wrong college/university, and then transferred to a 4-year college/university that was a better match for them. There is nothing wrong at all in choosing that pathway if it is going to be a good one for you.
