from synthetic to regular oil
I put in synthetic mobil1 oil once but it throws off my whole oil change schedule with oil filter and all that, so i decided to go back to regular oil. I heard this is bad, like it causes bubbles. Should I go ahead and do it , is it really that damaging or serious.
Advice please?

The best thing you did was run Mobil One Synthetic. If you go to Mobil web page and read the FAQ you will find that it is perfectly okay to switch back to conventional oil. It may take a few changes to get all the oil out of the engine.
Then again, if I were in your situation I wouldn't want to switch back to crap oil. It would be best to just alter your service schedule by changing the oil and filter yourself.

i keep hearing diff things bout when to change filter and synthetic oil ranging from 5000 - 7500 miles, then you gotta change ur filter every 3k, so im just gonna keep it simple and use regular oil changing it at 3500 miles with oil filter change

Umh, Who is confusing you with oil and filter change intervals? Dealer? You can change your oil and your filter base on the schedule you set, as long as it's either within the manufacture recommendation (Hint recommendation), or base on an oil analysis, no matter what oil, conventional or synthetic, you choose to use. As long as you have some type of oil change schedule, you're ok.
