Hey!
Jar, I experience this often, but never really knew of a term to describe it. After looking online for a definition after I saw the word, I found this; it is a good way to describe it:
​
Serendipity is looking for a needle in a haystack and finding the Farmer's Daughter.
​
-Julius H. Comroe, a biomedical researcher.
​
That definition is from here.
