Possible topics:

• is it infatuation or true love (or a marriage of convenience – ed)
• notes on notetaking and study habits

Internship can be valuable just for the feeling of being actively involved if research frustrates you.

Writing for the layman – well, clearly, anticipating what people will want to know, including all the relevant information to make your point – lots of detail, anticipate the reader.
