So, I went to turn on the car this morning and I missed two of my classes thanks to it not wanting to start over.

I have not done diagnostics as I had no time to do so. I tried turning it over many times and the lights just dimmed down as if cranking but there was no response.

Sounds like the actuator in the starter is sticking.

Is that the solenoid with the single, 16ga wire going to it?

Smack it with a wrench, if it suddenly starts then there is your problem.^^

Id be looking at the ground wires, the two on top of the transmission and the one next to the alternator. Also, check your battery cables. Everyone checks the clamp itself and battery posts but they are usually to stupid to check the connection between the clamp and cable
