“Challenge yourself and do something you are PASSIONATE about!!”
“Do something you actually WANT to do! You’ll have more fun it reflects your interests and try to do something that will help you in your future because it allows you to see in action the career you have in mind for yourself.”
Do NOT pick a project, just to get it done! It creates more problems in the end!
