You need to focus on why you're doing this - It's for your degree.

And since it's only your BSc just do the easiest project that's not boring and get it out of the way.

Build the cool stuff later. A few years from now no one will care about your GPA, let alone your final year project.

I'd wager that this - the notion that school is for a degree, abstract from challenging oneself to learn anything is a healthy contributor the apparent glut of 'uderemployed' graduates.

Perhaps, but they'll certainly have more to gain from someone who cares about doing quality work and is willing to challenge themselves.

Further, it's not an entirely safe assumption that you'll even be capable doing 'the cool stuff later', particularly without having tried.

I actually disagree. If you feel compelled to do something cool, do it. This is a great opportunity to challenge yourself. And someone will care about the project you do -- you will. Never do anything but your best.

But to the other posters merit, if you can't narrow down what it is you want to do, then pick a "boring" thing -- it's better than nothing at all.

"Build the cool stuff later." Later becomes until I have dont need to pay the bills. Then it becomes until my kids get older. Then it becomes until I'm retired. Then it becomes until I'm out of my deathbed.
