What she said. Also, my mentor told me that I should write about what I know about already, don't stress myself out even more by writing about a topic that has nothing to do with my actual practice-related work in grad school. So what I did, was write about the population I was doing my internship with last year of grad school, gaps in the system, that kind of thing. What helped a lot was that the way my program was set up, most of the papers I had ALREADY wrote about in my final year practice class tied into the final major paper. I saw a lot of my classmates stressing pulling topics out of the sky and handing in a "crappy" paper the day of graduation. Don't stress yourself out anymore then you absolutely need to.
