oh geez. I've seen a lot of posts on here recently of people buying options that go their way but they can't offload them. time to do some googling... worst case scenario is I just paid \~$800 to get a lesson is options volume and if/when I can execute an option prior to expiration...

You could exercise the option at any time if you want. Even if you don't have the capital to exercise, you can talk with your broker (assuming you don't have Robinhood as you can't really talk with them) and have the broker exercise on margin for a fee and then sell everything once you get the shares, either positive shares for call options or negative shares (short) for put options.
