Planned Happenstance

This is an old article, but the whole concept of "planned happenstance" is new to me. To hear that these ideas are a "real thing" is incredibly validating of a way of looking at the future that I have felt but had a difficult time articulating. If I would have read this before school started this fall, probably would not have gone back. Oh well, I guess being back in school, taking the classes I am, is happenstance, too, right...?
