Do you fell that your freewill is hindered?
Does God having predestined you to ________ change how you will act today?
And hey, i know your future, too--you are going to die someday.

If i may, the standard rhetoric goes, "If God has predestined me to something, do i have free will to change that outcome?" which is likely putting the cart before the horse; or at least ignoring the omnipotence aspect of God. imo.

It's possible for God to refrain himself from knowing our future. God has plans for us (Jer 29:11), but will only unleash his plans upon us as we're obedient.

And you don't know my future. It's possible that I will never see death!
Stop suggesting that I might see death!
