RE: little advice/ just got info on my 401k
Corey, without a doubt - roll it over. An IRA is certainly one way to go, probably the best. Check your community services people and see if they have any kind of financial advisory services available. You might also check local community colleges for same.
At your age, you should be investing by dollar cost averagingin a "no load" mutual fund every month. Do your "older self" a big favor and type "no load mutual funds" in your google search engine and read, read, read. The years do go by.
