Ideas for Finance/Economic Research

Hi, I am a freshman looking for some advice. I want to start a research project this semester and into this summer, something long and insightful. Can anyone give me some advice on some interesting topics on equities/companies or anything finance related I can research or analyze that will be excellent for finding an internship in IB next summer.
Thanks,
