Redditors with real life "butterfly effect" stories, what happened and what was the series of events and outcomes?

I just found out that my ex and bestfriend was in a relationship when the results of the entrance exam of my first choice university came out. We need to come to the university to schedule our orientation. Didn't go to the uni that day because I was too broken, so I was scheduled on the second batch. Turns out, after orientation is the enrollment. The slots for my first choice course ran out. I really want that course so I didn't pursue the university.

Picked a university that turned out to be shit. The program in that school was so incompetent with incompetent professors. I was too chicken to transfer to another university. Four years later, here I am, a fresh grad, depressed and feels like I haven't learn a single thing.
