My first VB project was a calculator, so that might be a good place to start. Also, you can code a Twitter application which requires the TwitterVB library. Hope I pointed you in the right direction :)

The first thing i made (apart from hello world) was a web browser, it was quite fun to make so i would recommend giving that a go.

I wouldn't advise doing anything in Visual Basic when you can do it in a practical programming language, that you will be able to use sometime later in life.
But you can always try making a slide-shift puzzle. GTK+ and Qt are good graphics toolkits to use.

That's not an easy task. Unless you just use some kind of web browsing widget(like Qt's QWebFrame), it's a large task to implement a complete, W3C-compliant, fully-functional browser.

I made a web browser with a fully functional History(And a delete history/search function), back, forward and refresh in a few hours.
I would recommend C# or C++ for stuff as visual basic just isn't really that 'good'.
I have also made a IRC bot (In C#) but when it gets stuck connecting to the selected server, I don't know how to fix it.

if it had to be VB I would probably make a program that generates an image from your mic based on how loud the noise is that is being recieved.
its pointless but you could probably build apon that and turn it into some sort of overly simplistic SSTV application,

I'm almost near starting my first java project for codecademy, one more lesson to go. >.>
