work out for the best 的原意是“变好”“好转”,根据本句的语境,可理解为“因祸得福”。即:

I was rejected by one college, but I really like where I am now, so I guess things worked out for the best. 

我被一所大学拒绝了,但我确实很喜欢我现在的样子,所以我觉得算是因祸得福了。

   《朗文当代高级英语辞典》第5版 best 词条名词用法有如下内容:13. be for the best especially spoken used to say that a particular even may seem bad now, but might have a good result later【尤口】也许不是件坏事:I still don't want him to go, but maybe it's for the best. 我还是不希望他去,但这也许是件好事。

    在网友的句子中,for the best 就是这种用法。

    I was rejected by one college, but I really like where I am now, so I guess things worked out for the best.这里的things worked out for the best是宾语从句,作guess的宾语。things指I was rejected by one college这件事,所以最好改为 the thing ;这里的 worked out = turned out (结果是)。

    【试译】我曾经被一所大学拒绝了,但我确实很喜欢我现在的样子,所以我猜想这也许是件好事。
