first off i'm canadian and i'm almost 23.
i'm not gonna lie i got terrible grades and have no idea on how to upgrade my high school grades (or if thats needed) and take some beginner's courses after that in psychology and anthropology. i literally have no way to start or even begin looking to upgrade and then go from there.
i'm located just outside edmonton alberta and would love if any one could give me some solid advice?
i'm sorry i'm just drunk and feel like the shroomery can aid my woes
please give any advice you can

If you have finished high school (or equivalent home-school), in the US, you can have any grades and go to college. Community college is what its called here. You don't need good grades, just to have pased.
Do it  You'll be glad you did; It could never hurt.

i know there is a point--i think around 3 years out of highschool, maybe 5, where you are now considered a 'mature student' and the application process is much simplified--less dependant on having excellent grades, more on just possessing the bare prerequisites
at least, this is the case in ontario--it's kinda a province to province thing though--so it may not be reflected for you
worst case, you may find yourself having to take a few online courses to upgrade some marks--i'm sure that if you contact any university or college that interests you they would be glad to provide you with the information you need
you'll do more help for yourself in preparing for post-secondary school by researching this information on your own, though, rather than waiting for it to be provided

What I've found is that different schools each have their own admission procedures when you're a mature student. Some have what is called a bridging program, where you do one course that earns you a university credit and gets you into the school if you pass. Typically you would take one in a subject where your marks were weakest in high school. That's what I did to get into university. I was missing some English and social science credits, and I took a year-long Canadian studies (basically history/English) course to get in. I forget how many classes there were a week, maybe two or three.

Ok I know I'm going to have to look into this first hand to get specific info but I was hoping someone out there would have the info I seek.
Or more importantly where to start to look for this kind of thing. High schools, university, colleges etc.

the college or university that you wish to attend would definitely be the best place to start--they have entire departments (admissions, or something similar) whose sole function is helping students and potential students navigate the admission process

I did give you an example of how I did the thing you're trying to do (taking a bridging course to get into university (U of Toronto) without all my high school credits.) Other schools will let you in based on entrance exams. I would suggest looking into what schooling is sought after for jobs you want to do, and figure out the specifics of getting in from there.
