Struggling to Come Up With a Final Year Project Idea

I’m currently in my 3rd year at university in the UK and trying to decide on my final year project. Honestly, I feel completely stuck and it’s starting to stress me out. I keep getting this sort of "writer’s block" when it comes to ideas every time I try to brainstorm, I either draw a blank or convince myself that the idea isn’t good enough.

I know the project is a big deal since it’s meant to tie together everything we’ve learned, but the pressure of picking the right idea is making it harder to think clearly. I’d love to do something meaningful and hopefully a bit innovative, but right now I’d even settle for something solid and achievable.

If anyone has recommendations or examples of good final-year project ideas in computer science/tech, or even advice on how you managed to come up with your own project, I’d be super grateful.
