Coincidently mixed up

Found this on google, pretty~~~
I don't know how to say this. Sometime, we plan things according to what we want but as we grow older, we change the plan or adjust it, then add in reality and there are major changes to your original plan. I don't know if it's suppose to be like this as a way of discovering what you really want or just messed up. 
I think of how my plan works out since young as mixed up and i guess it's fated. Lemme tell you, what I dream of becoming is totally different from what I will be right now. When I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a lawyer cuz it's cool. I lived on that dream for years, then a grew out of it and I wanted to be a veterinarian cuz I love cute little animals (of course my innocent young mind hadn't thought of the possibilities of sticking my hand into cow ass and treating snakes or lizards). For a while when I was in my early teens, I have no idea what do I wanna be. They ask me what do I want to be and I just gave them my old answer-lawyer. I didn't want to be a lawyer anymore, then. For sometime I changed my mind A LOT. Seriously a lot- actress, pilot, nurse, marine biologist, meteorologist, astronaut etc.
Then it came to the decision of college entrance as I'm going to sit for the public exams. So being clueless to what I want, I gave my parents the authority to choose my path and they're really realistic. Accountancy, Engineering, Teacher or even a my parents own personal maid =.= (with the condition that I failed my exams horribly and i can't earn a living for myself) That was one pretty hilarious choice but I know deep inside they wouldn't have chosen that for me and would make sure I wouldn't go down that path.
Anyway, I thought about accountancy and I was like 'Ok, if that's what makes you happy.' Then I realize, accountancy needs math skills, something I am horribly bad at. It's a good thing I was old enough, cognitively advanced enough to think about the consequences then cuz I would have hated my life now. Anyway, I rejected all their ideas in the end, oh, I did consider teaching. I even applied for public university in education. But growing up, I've heard and experience the horror of teaching kids nowadays so THANK GOD, i didn't get accepted. My fate wasn't teaching, THANK GOD!!!
But i was really desperate cuz the results are out and I did better than my parents expectation. It's average but meh, its considered very good. My personality, hmm, I'm helpful though an introvert from being bullied in school (thank so much you bitches, you ruined me) Anyway, since I'm good at the service department, I choose hospitality management. I really did wanted it then, I liked the idea of being a hotelier. So, my parents was also okay with it though we all know the possible challenges in the future. We went to talks, open days, gather everything we can about this course and the only thing remaining is finding the suitable college to enter. My parents think i wont be able to live alone so they chose one closest to home.
The funny thing is, though I was so enthusiastic about entering college and studying hospitality management, I had the nagging feeling that something isn't right. It's such a subtle feeling that I ignored it. The week before I was suppose to register in the college for that course, I heard that a good friend of mine chose to register at a private university at the total opposite my home town. Somehow something just made me change my mind about studying hospitality in college near home. I realized that all those times, going through the education fair, I didn't even glance at that university and yet I chose to go to this university at the last moment (it's really a last moment, few weeks before the starting semester) My friend of course, encouraged me to go. I looked through the courses offered and somehow Psychology just really attracts my attention and I was thinking if i'm going to go there, I won't change my mind no matter what. Within few weeks and fed-exing, I completed the procedures to enter my current university majoring in Psychology.
What I'm trying to say here, from lawyer to veterinarian to hospitality management, All from different field. I never ever thought about being a psychology major but here I am studying it. I got a offer from a public university while I was halfway doing pre-u in my current university, it took me a long time to decided whether i should accept it. My mom wanted me to cuz the tuition fee is certainly lower than a private University. But i chose to stay and I never regretted my decision.
I'm fascinated by how things works in my life, it sounds mixed up right? but no, I ended up enjoying my life here, studying happily despite the heavy workload of assignments,presentations and exams but hey, everyone has to face this in tertiary education. How my original plan was diverted so far out that the past dreams are like fading shadows. That got me into thinking about God's plan for everyone's life, did he purposely make me take this road? Was it just coincidently or was it already mapped out for me by God?
Was it really just a coincident that I decided to stupidly enter the wrong class on the first day of University and ended up meeting one of my best friend now?
Was it a coincident that I applied for teaching college and I got turned down?
Things happen for a reason, as I've been told and studying so far. I really do believe this.
Next my plan is to be an author and i believe this I can achieve. It's not like I make it a full time job so it's always possible.
So, think about it. Is everything that happened in your life a coincidence? Or it's planned so that you achieve what you are suppose to achieve?
I'm still waiting for the day when I'll make full use of my patience from being bullied and waiting for the right guy to come along. So far I'm still practising my patience for the latter cuz that's just how it is, my bad luck on men. Well, that's not really the point. But seriously, my grandma has been pestering me about it and due to her alzheimer she even made me an imaginative doctor boyfriend. =.= Cute but not helping at all.
