14.10 only boots to UEFI Interactive shell
Hello I am very new to Ubuntu and am testing it out on a VirtualBox VM.. It installed fine, I was even able to install Guest Additions and a few apps before shutting it down for the day. Now when I try to boot the VM all that loads is the UEFI Interactive shell. How do I get it to boot back into the normal desktop?

Go into your VirtualBox settings by choosing your Ubuntu VM then Settings. Choose System and then uncheck Enable EFI.

Ah. No wonder. It's because you installed it in EFI mode. You need to make a new virtual machine and install Ubuntu all over again and make sure that box is NOT checked!
