So I tried to start it again this morning and still just click click click click click click click click. This time I noticed smoke coming from under the dash. Is it a messed up starter or possibly just the relay?

Aw crap you let the smoke out!
Its totaled!
Haha not really its a wiring connection issue. You probably smelled something funky, that was wires burning or the solenoid finally crapped cause you let it click too long. Could have been as simple as a battery connector wasn't tight enough, now it could be a bad solenoid too. Check all the connections battery to starter, make sure they're tight and try again.

Ill double check the battery terminals. I checked the 2 wires going to the starter 2 times. When I disconnect the spade one there is one click from under the dash.91 Festiva L "Erika" b3t swap on the way

Sorry about that I thought I picked repair.
Anyways I ended up plugging in a relay that said timer buzzer on it. It buzzed. So I unplugged it.
Problem ended up being a loose ground. The one that was loose was seemingly unrelated to the starter
What is the buzzer module for?91 Festiva L "Erika" b3t swap on the way
