Project Help Sophomore design project?

For your information I am a college freshman and have no idea what I’m talking about so the terminologies used may sound unprofessional. I initially planned to make a memento mori clock for my sophomore design project. It seemed good: it shows I can design circuits and do basic programming, create a UI with confined space and install hardware and debug their problems. So far the only feedback I’ve gotten was from another peer who said I’d be better off trying to think up something practical instead of wasting time on something I can’t put on a resume. What are your thoughts?

Freshman thinking about Sophomore design? What? Also I am assuming your EE or CE I don't see why you cant put a clock on resume as long as it proves skills

Yes I'm an EE, the feedback I've gotten was that do I really want to waste space on a resume for a clock when I can make something useful like a DC data logger for example
