Some people shouldn’t be alone, I say this because I have an awful attention span but because I’m shy I would never raise my hand and ask the teacher to keep repeating herself / himself so I just gave up and dropped out eventually.
I have been in the hospital for over a month and your videos comfort and calm me. The energy you transmit is incredible, you encouraged me when I couldn't walk in bed.
I was in your position May and June. I feel for you whole heartedly. It was a very hard time for me and I didn’t even have the mental energy to read books, which is my favorite hobby. Whatever it is, I hope you’re on the road to recovery and healing. Stay strong and do the little things that help you feel okay ❤
and yes, I made the appalling & highly-embarrassing mistake of saying paleontology the whole way through this video instead of palaeography... don't even ask me how! I must have been tired doing the voiceover. Please try to ignore it and how silly I sound haha!!
@@valnoor3266 Good spot. So it's probably not really a mistake is it, as in a slip of the tongue. It's a misunderstanding or misapplication. Ruby would appear much more genuine if she admitted she didn't know the correct word in the first place.
Do you not watch your videos again after your done with editing to spot mistakes? You also did the same mistake in one of your insta stories a few days back, so you had time to redo the voiceover instead of comming up with lame excuses.
I wish there was a Ruby when I was in school, but alas there were none around. Watching your channel this year has been a true blessing. Teaching me the love of organization and planning and taking care of the simple things in life. It's amazing how much my life has changed this year after following some of your tips and tricks. Your channel should be required viewing for every teen and adult who needs that little extra motivation in life. Keep up the amazing work.
Remember: life is not about being productive at every waking moment. It is even not sustainable to work such long hours. RIP mental health if you do. I never did that during uni and I still got good grades. Prioritising is key. Don’t feel bad for slacking off.
You are so so right and I do agree with you - genuinely, I just adore what I'm learning and I give myself the license (especially now, since term hasn't started) to stop whenever I choose :)x
I believe you. It's just that most of your videos leaves people with the impression that one has to be productive at all times. It is a blessing that you love what you are learning but even if you love learning it, there should be boundaries. I love doing historical research but I need to make sure that it is not all what I am doing in my life. Research/learning is not an identity, and I don't feel bad when I decide to watch my anime instead of doing my latest readings because every aspect has a time an place.
@@nora1387you are absolutely right, but what Ruby was showing here was mostly copy-pasting notes from one place to another. That's not really mentally challenging, same applies to reading fiction books or doing "admin tasks" which seem to be cleaning one's room for Ruby
@@nora1387 Not all people, Ruby has a lot fans. Some people are just task focused, get great satisfaction and pleasure about organisation, keeping times, lists, routines, rituals.

The mind palace originates even earlier in Roman times, to something now called the method of loci, which Cicero refers to in De Oratore! Lots and lots of literature on it and a very useful memory technique I credit with a lot of my success. I also find that St. Theresa D'Avila's Interior Castle has applicable lessons for it, even if that wasn't the original point of the book!
Ahh that's so cool! The early moderns used the language of "loci" too and it's so cool to hear it harkens back to Cicero! I also did not know that about st Theresa of Avila!! I will look into that :)x
I subscribed to your channel because of your study videos around five or seven years ago. They inspired me a lot when I was preparing for me post-graduate entrance exam. And now I had been graduated. Really miss the days begin with your inspiring videos. Thank you Ruby.
I love watching your videos whenever I feel like I'm in a slump, or when I feel unmotivated/uninspired to do work. I get this sort of "secondhand high" from your productivity which actually gets me into a better head space to start working. And especially with your genuine energy, I don't feel guilty for "wasting time" or being lazy but I tend to be able to extend more grace towards myself. Thanks for all you do, Ruby! Sending you lotsa love x
This girl doesn't know that she's my role model and my inspiration ❤ I'm very sure you'll leave wonderful achievements in this world 💜 sending you lots of love from iraq 🇮🇶
I'm an engineering student whose first couple tries at school were all in the liberal arts. I didn't get far in college back then because I hated all the reading and the writing. Now that I found my passion in engineering, I am perplexed how people could enjoy all that. Your love of your subject matter really shines though and I'm glad there are people out there who have different interests from mine. I find the product of your studies fascinating - I just don't want to do them myself!
I’m sure I’m not the only one that does this, but when I’m procrastinating my school work by being on my phone, I’ll watch one of Ruby’s videos to motivate myself and ease into the work 💀
i'm going into my first year of uni aged 21 and these videos are so motivating for me. I've got my pumpkin productivity planner and i feel ready to conquer anything!
Hi Ruby! In October I will start my Master's thesis in Physical Geography and I just wanted to say thank you because you are a huge inspiration for me, since I am preparing everything till August. I am from Germany and I love your content and hope that your time in Oxford will be great! 💓☺
I find it interesting how much time Ruby spends on studying and research while living in a household with her family. My family always interrupts me or wants me to clean or tidy up the house or something... Great video, Ruby, by the way!! 😊
I honestly cannot overstate how helpful your videos are, especially when I need some motivation! Currently working on a paper on Locke's theory of the will and I've hit a bit of a slump, but watching one of your vlogs always puts me in the right mood for academic work. Thank you! 🌻
I received my planner yesterday. It certainly is the best one I have had so thanks for its development. I start an MSc in Psychology next week as a very mature student.
Omg first and Ruby you dont know how helpful to me have been your videos, your planner etc. I get a lot of motivation from you and i do all of the recommendations you give and they help me soooo much. You cant think how happy i am when you post thats why everytime you post i am one of the first comments. So much looove from Albania. Hope you see this. Fingers crossed. From Martin and PS: Thnx everyone who will like this video because it will be more likely for Ruby to see
Hi Ruby, I'm from Mexico, I'm doing my master's at Harvard and I still have a couple of months left before starting, your videos motivate me soooooo much and sometimes I play your videos in the background just for pure motivation/study buddy feeling. ❤
Ruby, you are a great inspiration to so many students. I’m finishing grammar school this year, and your videos are so comforting and motivating at the same time. Thanks so much for everything you do❤️
I've been struggling with the same problem with the heat and I'm on the opposite side of the world as you! It is really crazy hot these days, and I'm saying this as someone who grew up in a tropical country. I'm also moving my study/ work hours on the early mornings, sometimes even late at night because I also can't concentrate with how intense the heat is. I'm actually watching this video right now at night when finally its not as scorching as earlier and I can finally do school stuffs, your videos really help a lot with my concentration thanks Ruby!
Thanks, Ruby. I really needed to see something like this. I live in South Africa and our school year goes from Jan -Nov. So we are in Q4 now and I am finishing up my dissertation this really inspired and motivated me so much to keep going. This was one of your best videos to date! Best wishes to you on your journey at Oxford! You'll absolutely smash it! 🤗❤
I think it would be really insightful to watch a video of your commentary on the required reading material for your masters. The organisational vlogs are great and I love them, but it would be so interesting to hear your observations and analysis of what you’ve read so far! And then potentially a mid-term update with developed ideas/what you’ve learnt on your course. Would really open up a view of what an Oxford masters is like 😊
That video will go like this: "This is so cool", "That is so interesting", "That reminded me of Harry Potter", "I really enjoyed reading this"... this is the only way Ruby knows how to "critically analyse and comment" literature
@@lillysummeroriginals1213 it really depends on your discipline. If there is some kind of data analysis involved you could for example look at that first and come to your own conclusions before you read the conclusion of the author. In general you can approach every paper in a critical way by saying "I don't believe what they are saying" and then let them prove you wrong....or right. You have to remember that every scholar is biased and has a specific agenda and you need to find out how much that agenda affects their research and conclusions
Hi Ruby, I'm currently enrolled in my masters in political science. My third semester is going to begin very shortly and you inspire me so much to continue studying and reading throughout. Love your videos 🌼
Could you do a video of your mug collection please? Just like you do with your books and stationary. You seem to have some beautiful mugs and we would love to see them and hear you talk passionately about em. ❤
When I was 6 the thing I told adults I wanted to be when I grew up was a Palentologist - purely because me and my friends used to try to "dig for fossils" in our local park in the middle of south east London haha. I then found my passion in literature and am actually applying for an MSt at Oxford for 2024-25! But I've always had a fondness and interest in the subject of Paleontology (though not as much knowledge as I do in literature), which makes me wonder how the two are linked, and whether you actually mean in preparing for your course you're studying Paleography??? (which is the study of ancient writing systems) This would just make much more sense to me considering the subject of your degree!
I absolutely, totally, completely missed Ruby's academia vids! This gap year of hers, i really missed this kind of content and i cant wait to see more motivating study vlogs and her year at Oxford!
Hearing you talk about the memory palaces is so interesting since I just did an online Spanish course that was based around the idea of forming memory palaces for different Spanish concepts and words! Had no idea that's where the idea for it started but that's so cool! (The course is by LearnCraft Spanish if anyone is interested)
One of my favorite things about my summer before I started grad school was studying and getting to a place where I could fully lean into my new courses!
I love how you're looking at early modern printing and typography for your masters! I did journalism and publishing for my undergrad and absolutely loved the historical side of it
I started my day by watching this video and walked away with so much motivation to get started on my work! Ruby's enthusiasm is so contagious that I get excited about my work as well :) I am very excited for the release of the undated planner and I love Hamlet too!
Your motivation longstabdibg devotion tk your studies is so admirable, beautiful Ruby! Everything about you is so precious and wonderful and out of all the youtubers I watch, I would love to meet you the most
You mentioned how the knowledge of a language affects the way you think, so here’s a fun fact: most of the human emotions are developed culturally, and there’s a Psychological theory that says that some emotions are only felt in some places, whilst not in others, since in those places/cultures the people developed names for those emotions, like the Brazilian emotion “saudade” or the danish (I think) “Hygge”, or the American/English “Flabbergasted”, and I just think that’s awesome
I'm starting University this september and you really help inspire me and calm my worries, I love your vibe and I want to try to prioritise walks more when I move!
@@RubyGranger8 Family time is equally important so get in as much as you can before you go to Oxford. Your Mum , Dad and Sister will really appreciate the time you spend with them. I worry about you spending so much time in your room just studying. My OU website opened today and i had a brief look but am doing a few things of my own before i start in October.
a) Everyone preparing for a Masters would study 'relentlessly' and b) look closer. There's an awful lot of making lists and drawing up summaries that falls into the category of 'busy' work rather than useful study.
She is also relentlessly studying wrong things. Like Paleontology 🦕 and 12 sided Octavo book formats 😂. I thought she started learning Latin recently, surely the word 'Octavo' (meaning in eighth) would ring some bells
Thank you so much for taking your time to make this videos for your viewers! I have been a subscriber for quite a while now and your videos make me feel so much more productive. I have a question for you: why did you start youtube? Lots of love, Aidi
Hi Aidi and thank you so much for your lovely comment and for being here for so long! I started making videos because I like film making and just wanted to share study tips with people :)
I love the study vlogs so much! They make me feel so motivated to study and positivity just radiates off you! I did want to ask how you wake up so early? I’m not very good with that and I was wondering if you had any tips?
A girl in my class once asked me if I knew Ruby and told me I reminded her so much of her. I definitely think I am quite different from Ruby (I would love to be this organised but sadly am definitely not ahaha) but it was one of the nicest compliments I've ever received and think about it often :)
I bought the academic planner from pumpkin productivity and I can't tell you how useful it has been. It's such a lovely product! Thank you so much Ruby for the inspiration to keep going with my academics.
I know this is random but if you are looking for places to explore when you go to oxford I highly recommend Christchurch meadow! It is peaceful and I truly feel that you'll enjoy it. Have fun in Oxford.
Ruby, don't you have any means of cooling your room? How many days per year you experience such heat? By the way the hot air usually accumulate upstairs, a room on the second floor definitely sounds like a hot place to stay during peak hours ☀️
Hi Ruby, I have an accessibility request. I really enjoy your videos, but it's very difficult to read when you add some text on the screen to add narration...it's just so tiny and doesn't stay on the screen long enough! Could you make the font a bit bigger and leave the text for a few more frames in your videos going forward? Thank you! 😊 -A visually impaired viewer.
Hey Ruby you always motivates me so much to focus...really a big thank you for makinggg these study routine videos.... i just wanna ask at what time you usually go to bed to wake up early in morning...?🍂🪶🪶🪶 love from India!!
Glanced something about volvelles in your notes and went to look it up. Will read more about them. Such an interesting topic to research! I think your studies are very exciting and I'm glad you enjoy them so much.
i simply adore your blue outfit so much ruby that i have sent snippets of the dress to my mum to stich a similar dress for me, i so so am in awe of it :)
As a person with ADHD, you have no idea how much you've helped me get organised. You're truly inspiring and motivating!

Once again, Ruby, we owe you! Such a driven person. Thank you for all you motivate us to do! ❤❤❤
I started my day by watching this video and walked away with so much motivation to get started on my work! Ruby's enthusiasm is so contagious that I get excited about my work as well :) I am very excited for the release of the undated planner and I love Hamlet too!

@@RubyGranger8 I really hope soooo
You mentioned how the knowledge of a language affects the way you think, so here’s a fun fact: most of the human emotions are developed culturally, and there’s a Psychological theory that says that some emotions are only felt in some places, whilst not in others, since in those places/cultures the people developed names for those emotions, like the Brazilian emotion “saudade” or the danish (I think) “Hygge”, or the American/English “Flabbergasted”, and I just think that’s awesome
Ruby, you seriously inspire me to be and do better.
I'm also preparing myself for a lit masters! So glad to realize I'm not alone
Love this very inspirational I’m working on my phd 😚 in the dissertation process!!! Good luck Ruby! ❤
Ah good luck with your phd and dissertation!
We are all here for your academic videos, so sure it's gonna be an amazing year for you ♥
I'm starting University this september and you really help inspire me and calm my worries, I love your vibe and I want to try to prioritise walks more when I move!
Perfect Autumn treat
happy September! x
Please never stop making videos, they inspire me so much❤
Tis a good day when I see the notifications that you post 🙏🏻
ahh thank you danny!
Wow i just love your videos and I can’t wait to see you do videos on the beautiful campus of Oxford.
Ahh I loved Hamnet so much! Perhaps I need to re-read it this autumn
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
I love that
that sunrise with the sunflowers was absolutely stunning ✨😍
Thank you so much for these videos Ruby!!
You've teached me to love studying and organizing. Especially after the pandemic and during hard times ☺❤📚
Finally someone on RUclips who says they wake up at 5am and it´s actually dark outside. So tired of the clickbait.
Ruby studies relentlessly before her master’s degree’s even begun pls check up if she’s alright after it starts
It's my toxic personality trait haha! I'm just too excited honestly and want to make the most out of the teaching when I'm there :)
@@RubyGranger8 Family time is equally important so get in as much as you can before you go to Oxford. Your Mum , Dad and Sister will really appreciate the time you spend with them. I worry about you spending so much time in your room just studying. My OU website opened today and i had a brief look but am doing a few things of my own before i start in October.
Nothing toxic about that sweetheart! Bless your soul and thank you for motivating us
a) Everyone preparing for a Masters would study 'relentlessly' and b) look closer. There's an awful lot of making lists and drawing up summaries that falls into the category of 'busy' work rather than useful study.
She is also relentlessly studying wrong things. Like Paleontology 🦕 and 12 sided Octavo book formats 😂. I thought she started learning Latin recently, surely the word 'Octavo' (meaning in eighth) would ring some bells
i always look for your videos when i start feel lazy. thank you for uploading these!
This video came just in time! I was looking through your account to find a video I haven’t watched before
ahh perfect timing then!
You are only foreign youtuber i see. You have me motivated to start studying. Thank you very much❤
I absolutely love your videos Ruby - I find them so motivating and comforting :) whenever I'm feeling anxious I always turn to your channel! Thank you
I really enjoy your videos Ruby, they fill me with a sense of calm. You and I are very similar in personality. 😊
So pleased to see you enjoying The Iliad and Hamnet. Two of my nearest and dearest.
Thank you so much for taking your time to make this videos for your viewers! I have been a subscriber for quite a while now and your videos make me feel so much more productive. I have a question for you: why did you start youtube? Lots of love, Aidi
Hi Aidi and thank you so much for your lovely comment and for being here for so long! I started making videos because I like film making and just wanted to share study tips with people :)
@@RubyGranger8 Thank you so much for replying! Please come to Ireland (especially Dublin) for a holiday in the future.
love this vlog , please do more study with me vlogs
Its kind of motivating
Ruby, you are very well-organized for you Master's degree. It is good because you are less likely to fall behind in class.
I like the work style, with the two side by side documents
my fave videossss!! making me so excited to start my english degree at York on SUNDAY!
I love the study vlogs so much! They make me feel so motivated to study and positivity just radiates off you! I did want to ask how you wake up so early? I’m not very good with that and I was wondering if you had any tips?
1:13 is literally a book cover ❤
Just watched the my first day at Oxford video and i am now a subscriber🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️your videos are amazing. Soo Calm and makes me feel nice❤
I always get motivated after watching your videos! Love the quality ❤
A girl in my class once asked me if I knew Ruby and told me I reminded her so much of her. I definitely think I am quite different from Ruby (I would love to be this organised but sadly am definitely not ahaha) but it was one of the nicest compliments I've ever received and think about it often :)
I bought the academic planner from pumpkin productivity and I can't tell you how useful it has been. It's such a lovely product! Thank you so much Ruby for the inspiration to keep going with my academics.
You’ve recently started to add Bonnie Grace’s songs to your videos and because of they’ve history with me, I loved your last two videos even more ♥️
Ruby! Would you ever do a what I eat in a week // Vegan meal ideas? I love the feel of your videos and I'd love to see some vegan meal plans
I just started my masters in Ecology!!! I hope you will enjoy your masters as much as I am doing right now :)
I need a video on how you balance studying and socialising during term
Ruby’s videos always make me so happy ❤
I know this is random but if you are looking for places to explore when you go to oxford I highly recommend Christchurch meadow! It is peaceful and I truly feel that you'll enjoy it. Have fun in Oxford.
I have very fond memories of ChCh meadow as an undergrad but unfortunatley of a very nsfw variety 😂
Ruby, don't you have any means of cooling your room? How many days per year you experience such heat? By the way the hot air usually accumulate upstairs, a room on the second floor definitely sounds like a hot place to stay during peak hours ☀️
It was really nice to watch your routine! It's inspiring to see how much motivation you have :)
Hi Ruby, I have an accessibility request. I really enjoy your videos, but it's very difficult to read when you add some text on the screen to add narration...it's just so tiny and doesn't stay on the screen long enough! Could you make the font a bit bigger and leave the text for a few more frames in your videos going forward? Thank you! 😊 -A visually impaired viewer.
Hamnet is such an amazing read
Hey Ruby you always motivates me so much to focus...really a big thank you for makinggg these study routine videos.... i just wanna ask at what time you usually go to bed to wake up early in morning...?🍂🪶🪶🪶 love from India!!
Glanced something about volvelles in your notes and went to look it up. Will read more about them. Such an interesting topic to research! I think your studies are very exciting and I'm glad you enjoy them so much.
Ruby!! Please make a video on how you use your iPad for school! ✨❤
i simply adore your blue outfit so much ruby that i have sent snippets of the dress to my mum to stich a similar dress for me, i so so am in awe of it :)
lady dakota and ruby posted in the same day... it's a good day you guys
You should read On Parchment by Bruce Holsinger if you're into the materiality of texts :) there's even a chapter on Shakespeare!
Your morning walk looks so beautiful 🤍
