I'm a college student too and I wished a wish like that in the past. After watching the development process for a while, I realized that somehow a college final project won't fit with the linux kernel project. Everything here is done by _evolution_ not a revolution, you'll even see the highest matured programmers in this project send little patches day by day. And the problem that you can't meet your PH.D and tell him/her: hey, I have a patch or two, they simply don't understand that ;). Second, I think it's very hard to make a considerable project in the kernel without doing some little patches here and there at first. Google for kernel newbies and kernel janitors.
