I would actually be so interested in listening to you reading out loud an essay you're proud of/you really like! As a student who doesn't live in Britain I can hardly imagine what the essays you have to write are about and how they are structured...
There are two really good books on writing essays, one is Plan your essay (Palgrave) and the other is Studying English Literature, A practical guide (Cambridge University Press), just in case it’s urgent. I hope it’s helpful!
Regarding referencing and citing: It's best to do it straight away as you write, or include the information in a comment, right after the citation. That way you can just do a final checkup at the end and don't waste precious time checking all the references pages etc. Also, Mendeley is a fantastic tool, especially for longer essays, thesis writing and articles. Greetings from Slovenia!
Every time I watch one of your videos I think "I want to be like Ruby when I grow up", but then I remember that I'm on my 3rd semester at college already so kinda late for that, though I do think that your videos helped me to be a lot more productive over the last year, so I'm really thankful for that! =D Love from Brazil =)
I'm glad you enjoy this type of vlogging as it's my favorite as well. I very much like the "quiet" nature of them, which imparts a feeling of peace and productivity for me.
Good luck! Xxx (I know you wanted a reply from Ruby, but wishing you all the best - just so you know this random stranger right here will be thinking of you and sending you luck on your exam days!)
I love your videos, and it's so interesting to see you evolving during university and becoming more of a 'typical student' eating beans because you have nothing in and realising that you have so many references that in hindsight you should have been doing during your essay. You vlogs weirdly make me miss the work as well as the fun side of uni!
Can u plz do a video on how u prioritise everything so well... like studying, vlogging, wondering with friends, organising etc. without getting distracted from ur aim. My biggest problem is the same. If i indulged my self in something then I completely forgot about my study and just do that particular activity for many days.😊 Plz it's my huge request or just give me an idea about that. BTW loved the video 🔥 Sorry for any grammatical mistake.😅Hoping for response from u ruby as it's the exam season❤
You’ve probably heard this before but I really recommend lists - sit down right now ad make a list of everything that you need to do (e.g. homework, revision e.t.c.) Prioritise them: for example at the top of your list you might have homework due the next day. Do whatever you want with your social life, but MAKE SURE that you have done your list at some point. You probably haven’t read this or if you even have you won’t try it but yeah hi 👋 😂 Also please comment if you actually do it just because it would interest me. Imma stop typing now 😂
@@lilaxjsjsns Thanks alot I will definitely going to try ❤ BTW I tried it but as I defined myself I m just like a person who failed to follow my to do lists up to full and that's my biggest mistake. I came to know about to do lists through ruby's videos and tried it for my 1 year academic session and it works best but I need some improvement in myself. I just want to tell as I followed this tip and my friends also started doing same. That's made me feel proud😂 Once again thanks for ur suggestion and loved u ruby for changing my life upto such a great extent. ❤🔥
Honestly I'm so glad I found your channel! You made me so much more motivated to do my school work and try and achieve the best version of myself that I can! I literally leave your videos playing in the background every morning while I get ready so I can have some inspiration for the day, and the Wooden Spoon podcast helped me a lot with the idea of accepting rejection. You even inspired me to start making my own videos, so thank you!! You really made an impact of my every day Life!
Ruby whenever I watch your vlogs Im always envious of your work environment. It's always so bright, spacious and work ready. I feel cramped in my work space even when it's clean! I think I need to do some reorganization
I love these vlog-style day in the life videos so much!! They help inspire me to get my own work done. I especially loved the keyboard sounds and editing in this one :)
Just watching you makes me feel so much better! Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us! it motivates me every time to start with my tasks and get my things done!
Watching this video and your newest one before I go and watch more videos which I have to do for school. Your videos always motivate me so much to get my work done. And I feel like writing a bit of your essay and then doing something else is such a good idea and strategy to stay focused on what you need to. I'll probably use it in the near future.
Thank you Ruby for your university vlogs! I'm not in university yet but I'm so excited to be! Your vlogs always remind me of what I want to do and to stay motivated/productive and positive 😊
Damn Ruby.. you are hard-working, smart and kind. I wish to be like you someday. You know, I'm going to apply for law school and the concept of corporate solicitor as career has fully formed in my mind. I hope through hard work, common sense and kindness I can achieve my goal. 😊
Lovely video! 💖 Could you make a video on how you do your essay planning? It's something I've never learned how to do and I'd love to see your take on it!
Dear Ruby every time that i watch your videos it makes my feel in a mood of productivity and creativity thank you for doing its i love you from Argentina
Hey Ruby ..i watch your videos quite often . i must say , they are AMAZING and your simple presentation really calms me out . Also motivates me to do my best . Thank you for your beautiful videos . Have a great day !!!! love from Saudi Arabia
I've never separated my clothes- I use laundry pods because the washing machine doesn't take detergent very well and those things are a precious resource lol
Just a idea: When you buy a clothes drying rack you help the planet a lot more as with using the dryer (saving energy, you don't need a laundry dryer which can't be recycled well and you also save money and so on...).
I love your outfit in this video so much omg And as always, soooo motivating, and this helped to put me in a happy, productive mood before my SAT...tomorrow...
I can reccomend the Sainsbury’s or Holland and Barrett quick soup mix. Packed with lentils, barley and pasta and just get some nice organic veggie stock cubes and u can slow cooker it while at a lecture :-) it’s what I do when I’m working on an essay :-)
I absolutely love all of your videos!!!! You've inspired me to create my own channel, and I've begun to post some revision videos and there will be one coming out very soon! Thank you x
Hey Ruby, you probably won't read this but I wanted to give you a tip with laundry. You can mix your dark and colourful clothes together in the washing machine, clothes are much better quality now and are less likely to run. Even if they do, it'll likely be the colourful clothes and the dye won't show up on dark clothes, I've never had it go wrong for me and I've been doing my own laundry at uni for nearly three years. Also, you don't need to separate your laundry by lights, darks, and colours when you put them in the tumble dryer. Just make sure you don't put too much in the tumble dryer or your things won't dry properly (we have those same machines at my uni and they're pretty useless at times). You don't need to follow this but it is very helpful for saving money!
I know you probably wouldn’t read this message, but I’ll say it anyway. I found your channel some time ago when I was looking for ways to study better. I’m a huge fan of Harry Potter, so at first I only watched your Harry Potter videos. Then I started watching your tips and study videos. Last year, I cared about school, but I just wasn’t a big study person. Then this year I study using your tips and studying more and I got all A(s) on my report card! I just wanted to say that from watching your videos I think you’re a very kind person. I think it’s so sad how you were bullied just for enjoying studying and reading. I think you shouldn’t change who you are just because of what people are saying. You should embrace your differences and find friends who also do. In conclusion, you’re an amazing person and an inspiration to me.
you should really use endnote for you references!!! In my uni they kind of force us to work with this haha. Endnote has a "cite while you write" function, it saves you loads of time. It's basically a reference database that automatically puts references in in the style of your choosing.
In all dormitories I've been staying in it's forbidden to use drying rack inside because of poor ventilation. After two months you just get your walls cover in black mould. And it's still too cold to dry your clothes outside :)
I would actually be so interested in listening to you reading out loud an essay you're proud of/you really like! As a student who doesn't live in Britain I can hardly imagine what the essays you have to write are about and how they are structured...
As a maths student in Britain, I don't either haha
Same from the Nederlands ❤😭😂👏
@@jhgfhjkjlj yupyup
Lucy Dupont Haha, same from Turkey!
Same! I also wanna know how the british education sytem works.
Could you do a video on how you plan for your essays?
Yes please!
There are two really good books on writing essays, one is Plan your essay (Palgrave) and the other is Studying English Literature, A practical guide (Cambridge University Press), just in case it’s urgent.
I hope it’s helpful!
thanks 🤗
Acquire
Thank you😊
I need to get better at writing essays before I go to college
Or maybe just your general process of writing an essay, preparation, writing, referencing etc. would be sooo helpful!
I dont know if you would read this but everytime I watch one of your videos I just get motivated to do my best so thank you!
Theo Roberts same
Same
Me too

Your videos actually make me excited for re-taking my exams. As you often point out excitement is the key to productivity !!!
That makes me so happy to hear! I hope they go well! x

Good luck! Xxx

@@lilaxjsjsns Thank you so much for your kind words any good energy is welcome. Hoping to get into University finally. Have a good evening!
Nina Szalkiewicz aww this has made my day for some reason 😂
Its fantastic how you started being inspired by role model Hermione Granger and now you're a role model yourself! Love your videos!
Just as an idea: You can dry different coloured clothing in the same dryer🙊 Saves Energy
i wash all my clothes together dark and bright and none has ever ran
Create your life yourself
Choose you destiny yourself..
Don't let anyone impose the way you should be living...❄💚
Can u please do a video on how to stay on top of work(updated) :)
Good idea! Of course :) x
@@RubyGranger8 thank u😊

Please could you do a video about your iPad and how you use it for uni? Huge fan here xxx
One of my favourite vlogs you've ever done!! Your productivity is inspiring x
This was so lovely and calming to watch. A great way to start my school day off motivated, thanks Ruby
Watching you helps me become more productive and happy for what I do. Thanks for sharing some part of your life through vlogs. Cheers 🤟🏻🥳

You can achieve anything you put your mind to (and that's not just cheesy, it's also true!).
Are you from India ? Just asking. Because I would like to know more about law here as well. Then. You seem like you could help me. Thanks in advance.

I love you videos. I actually rewatched this one because I have to write an essay today. Definitely got some inspiration and motivation. 👍🏻
I was just listening to your podcast The Wooden Spoon! Love from Barcelona!
Júlia Abad Didn’t even know she had one. Writing a big stressful essay for a contest and feeling overwhelmed, will take a listen!
Elise Marcelle good luck with the contest :)
I have too, and I love it.
I am from Barcelona too❤️ lot of love from here❤️
I find your videos super relaxing and calming! Thanks for sharing :)
Lovely video! 💖 Could you make a video on how you do your essay planning? It's something I've never learned how to do and I'd love to see your take on it!
I love how you say "I've decided" like "ive decided to do chores as a break" rather than "I have to do chores I guess ill do that as a break"
hey ruby. Thanks for motivating me and encouraging me, your so relatable which is the best thing about you!
Dear Ruby every time that i watch your videos it makes my feel in a mood of productivity and creativity thank you for doing its i love you from Argentina

Have a great day !!!!
love from Saudi Arabia
Your videos make my day- forever grateful for you, Ruby!
Its so cute you do 3 washes - anyone over 25 does one - we never buy anything white anymore and black and colours pretty much the same
I wash all my dark coloured and white clothes together ...never had a problem
I've never separated my clothes- I use laundry pods because the washing machine doesn't take detergent very well and those things are a precious resource lol
You’re really motivating me in the last few days! Thank you ❤️
I enjoy your videos so much! Really wholesome and cosy☺

Watching this on a study break! Thanks for keeping me motivated ♡♡
Ruby thank you for being a good model for us to be inspired in our studies... ❤❤❤ More Blessings!❤❤
I absolutely love your channel. Can you do a video on how to avoid procrastination? I really struggle with it - when I really do want to study.
Ruby you are one of the best RUclipsrs EVER!!! piece out
I love your outfit in this video so much omg
And as always, soooo motivating, and this helped to put me in a happy, productive mood before my SAT...tomorrow...

Ruby I love your channel, you're giving me extreme motivation!
USE REFERENCING SOFTWARE! I say this as a postgraduate, it will save you so much time and it's all saved for future essays that way. I love Mendeley!
Thankyou for motivating me to get on with work and to stop procrastinating!

I was wondering; why don't you use a drying rack for your laundry instead of the dryer?
Especially if she would like to save energy (and money!)
In all dormitories I've been staying in it's forbidden to use drying rack inside because of poor ventilation. After two months you just get your walls cover in black mould. And it's still too cold to dry your clothes outside :)
I wish I had a drying rack. Some clothes aren't meant to dry in the dryer and it could damage them.
Love you Ruby💕💕💕
Love longer videos💛
