@glacier0 - Sorry! I misread what you had written about studying at a local (not community) college, and thought that you were already there. Depending on what your longer-range goals are, what that local college offers, and what you can afford, studying locally may make the best sense for you. That is what a friend’s daughter did after dropping out of her higher-ranked LAC for mental health reasons. She lived at home, worked on her treatment, and finished the major that she could complete fastest.
Consulting with the transfer admissions offices at this local college, the community colleges that are easy for you to get to, and the transfer admissions offices at a couple of other colleges and universities in Illinois, would be helpful for you. Bring your transcripts with you. Talk with them about your longer-range goals, and about how their institution could assist you in reaching those goals. They have seen applicants with messier records than yours, and will have useful ideas for you.
Wishing you all the best!
