Hi, so today I opened my computer up and a couple of programs like Chrome and lastfm gave me some errors regarding not accessing a folder on C. It seemed to be C:\Users\username\AppData\Local

So I restarted the computer and chkdsk ran, giving me a bunch of "Recovering orphaned file" lines. Now everything works fine again. Just wondering why this happened. Is my SSD nearing its end? Or should I just ignore it?
 
Could just be a fluke. There is a program called SSD-Life (http://ssd-life.com/index.html) that will show the life left on SSD drives. I'm not 100% how accurate it is, but I know it has a free version you can try out.

If you keep getting data corruption, I'd look into replacing the drive. Or at least keep a backup image of it on hand just in case.
