Hey Eric, don't worry you are 1 PR closer to completing the challenge already! You still have tons of days to complete the challenge 😄. Coming to finding projects you might like to contribute to, did you know Dev has a tag for the same called #contributorswanted

#contributorswanted

For open source maintainers to get together with willing contributors.
you could check that out for some projects that you might like.

Another awesome thing GitHub has is an "Explore Repositories" Section on its dashboard to the right on desktop and as a tab on mobile.

It will suggest you repositories based on topics and repositories that you have starred and generally suggest you some good first issues too if you are a beginner.

Finally, Hacktoberfest has a Hacktoberfest Projects section too where you can select the language of your choice and click browse more to get you to a GitHub filter link.
