Hello Sam @sarah2,
Welcome to the forum! I’m Bry, an Eclectic Witch and one of the moderators. Just wanted to stop in and say hi - it’s very nice to meet you 
(On another note, if you’d like to change your username to match your name, you can do so! Here is a guide with instructions: 📛 How to Change Your Name and Username on Spells8 )
Others may interpret it differently, but I’ve personally come to believe that those feelings of repetition, synchronicity, or deja vu are signs that you’re on the right path. It’s a pat on the back from the Universe and encouragement to keep going! 
Wishing you all the best with your magickal studies. If you ever have questions or need help, know that your coven community here is happy to help! Feel free to make a new topic in Q&A anytime to tap into the wisdom of your fellow magick-lovers. We’re here and happy to chat! 
Make yourself at home here, Sam - blessed be
