To the future research seminar students. My suggestion to you is to find a topic you are passionate about that you can actually use in your future profession.  Not only will if benefit your knowledge of a particular subject. It could open up new possibilities that weren’t available before. Being able to network with fellow students or even employers. Finding a common ground could get you a position at a job site you perhaps weren’t even going for.

Another thing ‘Ill add is to avoid procrastinating. work on your project as much as you can even if it’s in small intervals. And also in the beginning of the semester take time to put your outline in order. It will be most helpful during the writing of your paper.
best of luck~
