Here is a checklist you can follow to make your thesis easy and on point:
A typical thesis may take anywhere from 2 to 3 months depending on your research area and time availability.
It would be good to start early and to keep writing short reports of every experiment you do or every discovery you make.
Keep your research work organized to avoid remembering what to write for each experiment.
Make several backups of your thesis data. Keep an up-to-date backup in some cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive ).
Give proper citations wherever necessary. If you are taking a figure or picture from someone else's work, cite them. Whether consciously or unconsciously, avoid plagiarism.
The thesis statement should appear somewhere in the first paragraphs of the paper, usually as the final sentence of the introduction.
Read through each chapter for grammatical errors once you have written all the chapters.
Whether academically or not, give credit to those who helped you. It is the best way to show your appreciation. In your acknowledgment, include a few sentences.

I think if you put a lock or keypad on a public restroom then it's not "public," actually
Doubly so for """"accessible"""" restrooms. (heck idk how that's even allowed under the ADA)
I appreciate your unisex restrooms but today's gender is "I am semiverbal and incapable of starting a conversation about my bodily functions with your resting-murderfaced minimum-wage cashier"

THIS IS A PERSONAL POST
The grammar roundtable got accepted. Looks like I will have to sit in front of a bunch of strangers and discuss a topic I know next to nothing about with two people I also don't know well and try to answer whatever unpredictable questions the audience might throw at us.
I tried to explain to the professor who's heading this up that I don't actually know anything, but she was all "the other students are in the same boat, we're going to practice a lot, does that make you feel better :) :) :)" and I wanted to say that I hadn't come for reassurance, just trying to manage expectations. That's still a lot of pressure.
It will probably be okay, but I can't say I'm looking forward to this.
