There was a time were I was always looking for what kind of project to do.

and they are fun, but if you are a beginner, before projects on general, learn first how to TEST. Better, learn how to TDD. Think as testing as a way to ensure that you are actually providing a code that you can read later, others may look and understand you reasoning and most important, you will have to learn how to document your code and project.

This will force you to learn how to build quality software (MIT 6.005 course is available in two modules @ edx - Software construction with java and advanced software construction with java) and consider your choices while developing your code.

if you can stick to the testing first (TDD) approach, your projects will be more logical, will most likely be corrected and your code will look more professional without effort.
