A dilemma is a problem offering at least two solutions or possibilities, of which none are practically acceptable; one in this position has been traditionally described as being impaled on the horns of a dilemma, neither horn being comfortable.

If you find it difficult to find an idea that excites you, don't worry, this is a very common concern among the prospective grad students.
You should meet the professors if possible, such meetings will help you in finding the place where you can do great work, and if lucky you will be having fun too...
