At some level, everything is plagiarism. This post included.

So if I run it through ithenticate and then turn it in after will it show up that I plagiarized myself?

I never got the obsession with this. I mean, its one thing if you write the Gettysburg Address and say you came up with it on your toilet. But there a plenty of things that lend themselves to obvious common conclusions. I mean, watching The Fast and the Furious and thinking "this is the same movie as Point Break" isn't really a stretch.
It is possible, especially with today's internet, that you might completely unintentionally draw the same conclusions as other people, especially if you a using resources/criticism/commentary, that some internet based search engine is going to match. As long as you've included citations, who cares if you and some dead English guy draw the same conclusions? Sometimes things can't be said in a different way. I remember worrying about the way I wrote a sentence because it was identical to something I read in a commentary. Theres only so many ways to write "The pen is blue."

Institutions have gotten outright crazy over plagiarism.

no it won't
the database they scan consists of works that been officially submitted as "final draft"
BUT if you turned in an previous assignment that you copied and pasted into the thesis, you will be flagged for "self-plagiarism"

just found a scanner that uses the same database. It's a pay per paper scanner though ($7.99)

That's because the faculty that get paid very little to write papers need to get cited to validate their own inflated sense of self worth.

Appreciate it. I just need to do it once.
And yeah Universities go crazy with plagiarism stuff now. I should be fine but just want to make sure so I don't have to deal with it.

The whole plagiarism thing has jumped the shark.
It is nearly impossible that someone somewhere in the world has had the same stream of consciousness you had when writing a paper on the same subject.
But of course, that means you stole it from them.

Google a sentence containing unusual words. Put your search argument in quotes. I do this sometimes when I see a post that I suspect has been lifted.

Meh, I have a master's and I do not brag. It has not done anything for me. Sorry OP, maybe yours will be of use to you.

Good Plagiarism Detection Website or Software?
Assuming you're close with one of your professors they should let you use LSU's official plagiarism software through moodle. If not, turnitin . com is one of the best.
ETA - Isn't a thesis based off of experiments or work you conducted yourself? How could you possibly plagiarize a summary for data no one else has?

You're not going to accidentally plagiarize your Master's thesis.

When you write something that long and you got over 100 sources that all say the same thing in different ways it starts to run together.
So how exactly did you determine a gap in knowledge if the consensus is that the area is already so well studied?
