 Writing a thesis is indeed a very often complicated moment that lasts on average 6 months (an average with a large standard deviation that can easily take you to 1 year, and rarely to 3 months). It is like a long-distance race, so you have to attack this moment with a lot of energy, by sleeping well beforehand. But even if you are well prepared, it is quite possible that the moment will be unpleasant ; it is a test to pass in order to become more competent and to take a step back on your own work. Writing a thesis is indeed a very often complicated moment that lasts on average 6 months (an average with a large standard deviation that can easily take you to 1 year, and rarely to 3 months).

-However, the writing of a thesis, once passed, is often seen as a moment where one surpasses oneself and where one discovers new limits, notably scientific. It is therefore an ordeal from which there is good to come and not only a hard moment imagined to test your writing skills.+However, the writing of a thesis, once passed, is often seen as a moment where one surpasses oneself and where one discovers new limits, notably scientific.

 It is possible that during your thesis you will have to face problems, either scientific problems with your subject (the impression of not finding a solution, of being stuck, of not understanding things well, of not having data or examples, of having problems with the experiments or the results, etc.) or relational problems with your supervisor or some of your colleagues. Whatever the cause, don't brood over your professional problems and don't hesitate to talk about them around you. It is possible that during your thesis you will have to face problems, either scientific problems with your subject (the impression of not finding a solution, of being stuck, of not understanding things well, of not having data or examples, of having problems with the experiments or the results, etc.) or relational problems with your supervisor or some of your colleagues.

-Scientifically, you will surely have the impression that you are working alone and this is generally true: you are scientifically isolated. However, this is not a reason to isolate yourself socially, quite the contrary. If you encounter problems, even if they are very technical and very specific, it is very likely that some colleagues can help you at least partially or at least listen to you. Sometimes, taking the time to verbalize and explain your problems allows you to find a solution. Of course, you can also talk openly with your manager.+Scientifically, you will surely have the impression that you are working alone and this is generally true: you are scientifically isolated.

-If you encounter relational problems with your supervisor, whatever the problem is, also take the time to talk about it calmly, first with your supervisor and then with your colleagues, whether it is the permanent staff, the post-docs, or the other PhD students. Here again, talking quickly about your problems often helps to avoid aggravating a situation or at least to get moral support. You can also turn to people outside your direct relational environment to get an external point of view, such as doctoral student representatives or members of the CSI.+If you encounter relational problems with your supervisors, whatever the problem is, also take the time to talk about it calmly, first with your supervisors and then with your colleagues, whether it is the permanent staff, the post-docs, or the other PhD students.

 The beginning of the thesis, which can be likened to the first year of the thesis, is a time when your task is to begin to grasp your subject. This is a time-consuming activity, especially thinking time, which means filling your head with ideas from the literature and letting your brain macerate with these ideas long enough to see them clearly.  The beginning of the thesis, which can be likened to the first year of the thesis, is a time when your task is to begin to grasp your subject.
