What can I do over winter break to improve my resume?

Hi all, Junior in college, with a goal to work for a FANG company out of college. Which of the following would be the best use of my time?

1. Completing excercises on HackerRank

2. Creating data structure related projects for my portfolio

3. Creating full-stack related projects for my portfolio (react, Amazon S3)

4. Create projects that I'm currently interested in (was looking at making a CHIP-8 emulator).

Some combination of 2 and 4 or 3 and 4.

Noted - do you think 4 would be useful because of the content, or just to get me further interested in using CS for problems I’m interested in?

The notion is to implement some element of 4 in whatever you're doing because you'll presumably end up with more output because of your interest. It's hard to gauge this, of course!

Thanks!
