The most impressive thing I in this vlog is popping to the library to do a bit of work when you have a train to catch in about an hour, I’d sit around and stress about getting to the station on time.
Once I spontaneously travelled home during the uni semester (missing lectures to do so) to see my family. My dad died three weeks later and this turned out to be the last time I would see him. I'm 23 as well and I am so glad that I didn't miss that chance, you are never too old for a visit home.
Hi Ruby! Barista here - when you’re making your coffee, that metal thing you use to press the coffee grounds into the portafilter (the handled thing that holds the grounds) is called a tamper and you’re actually supposed to press it into the coffee grounds to compress them. I noticed that your espresso shot was pulling pretty watery and quite quickly, and it’s actually supposed to be slower and appear “thicker” in consistency. The shot should pour for around 20-30 seconds! Anyway, if you can find a surface to sort of balance your portafilter so you can really tamp the grounds (quite hard, give it a good oomph when you press it), your espresso shot will pull slower and will taste a lot better!!! Just wanted to give a tip in case you wanted it. If I didn’t make any sense but you’re still interested, there are plenty of RUclips videos haha. Of course, if you like it your way, then by all means do it as such! Love from Canada ❤️
The best thing about being an adult is that YOU get to decide how to spend YOUR time - it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. You do you, Ruby. When I was at uni I quite often went home at weekends, it was great to have some peace and a change of scenery. Keep on doing what you do 😃
Something I find curious is that in my experience as a Latina (I'm from Chile), I felt more pressured to come home every weekend after college. I suppose that although we go to other cities to study, we do not have university dormitories like in Europe or the United States, and we are also a culture that highly values family, physical union, contact, etc. Many times I wanted to stay studying or go out with my friends but I felt guilty for not going to see my parents or grandparents, etc. Over time I improved it, but it's funny how we put pressure on ourselves.
Enjoyed the wellness theme and thinking of new ways to implement some solutions. So good to see your integrity in standing firm in what is best for you despite the protests of other people against your preferences. “Know your own happiness.” - Jane Austen 🕯️🏡📚♥️☕️🐙👨👩👧👧
I always love going home during weekends. It just feels so much more like 'weekend' when I change scenery. I find that if I stay at uni I just do the same things as during the week and I don't feel like I can switch to a weekend mindset, spend time with my family and go outside.
Love your videos they are part of my self care. As well as journaling. Walking. Spending time outside in nature. Reading classic novels. All help me refresh. Thankyou Ruby for helping so many people. ❤❤❤
Ruby’s videos are so calming and relaxing to watch. Every one of her videos just motivate me to keep studying even if it isn’t a study vlog. Thank you Ruby for motivating me. (Literally for the past 5 years ♥️)
Looking after yourself is important, spending time with family and friends is precious too. Our family has recently gone through a very sad loss of a young relative (not illness or accident)but we can’t be with the family as they’re overseas, it just makes u realise it’s important to create memories and touch base with the ppl you love xx but also to look after yourself no matter what stage of life u are going through.
I really like that you didn't use bg/ambient music in each shot especially the library clip, the serenity and rawness of not only seeing but hearing the surroundings as you did, like you typing on keyboard and when you showed us the view from the window, so lovely, there is something about the quiet melancholy that I find so precious. I like that you were honest with yourself and your needs, you managed to heal and enjoy yourself whilst also doing the work you needed. No judging here, honestly, what "we should, have to do" is such an abstract nonsense rule that keeps us from our true self and what we truly want in life. You do YOU! Wish you best in all!
At times I find people saying Ruby is alone most of the time. Lol, plz give it a break. She is alone but not lonely. If you love the company of yourself, then you're never alone. Friendship is overrated bs. She is doing her future self a favor❤❤❤
Just because she doesn’t film being around people doesn’t mean she’s alone. Just because she’s a you tuber doesn’t mean everyone around her should or wants to be filmed.
Some of my friends didn't understand why I spent a lot of my time at home while I was at uni. I tried to explain it to them but they didn't listen. I love spending time with my family and I'm not ashamed of that. And I love watching you do the same. Really, there is nothing wrong with that xxx
Hi Ruby I’ve been watching you since 2018. Back then I was figuring out what academic journey I wanted to pursue. Now Im in third year of vet school and you still motivate me 🤍 keep going ☀️
Hi Ruby! I love your channel. Mi favorite part about it is how you’re always working, even on vacation or breaks, but it’s ultimately because you enjoy the work. I’m also like that but it’s really misunderstood by people, like everyone says you should be out partying and don’t understand why you don’t do it. But I enjoy being by myself, quietly working like you ❤ With much love from Chile 🇨🇱 ❤
This video felt like a warm hug for my soul (that is currently struggling mental health-wise). Thank you, Ruby☀️ I'm always so glad to see a new video of yours!🌸🌷
WoW, the way your face lit up in a huge smile when you're about to go on a walk in nature.. Love it! It's so wonderful that you have a loving family to go home to. I hope you go home as much as you want/NEED to! Take care, we are the only one who can take care of ourselfs the way we want to and like...is a life long learning path to understand ourselfs .. Virtual hugs and lots of inspiration, greetings Sophie.
Early mornings to carve out time, is great advice, Ruby - Loved your coat from vinted, too. Take care of your mental health every one and don’t be afraid to seek help. X
I always love academic life...and this vlogs motives me...I had a office job and I started to study by my own...courses had become so expensive...thanks to ruby i never quit study
The dynamics of having two living spaces. For five years I had an apartment in Berkeley, and my little house in the wine country, and traveled back and forth on weekends sometimes to do work "in the country", and sometimes just to be with my brothers (who live on the same property). It's a fun feeling isn't it to have two homes? Berkeley wore off after five years and covid was the impetus to let go of the Berkeley apartment and live only in the country. Sometimes I miss it because it's so busy and also such a bookish place, it was honestly inspiring for my writing. I'd never have written my novel without that two-home dynamic. Now I'm trying to figure out how to write the next novel in my one-home situation. Harder than you might think, why? Because environment is everything? Maybe.
What a wonderfully cosy vlog, it's so good to see you so happy and relaxed! I loved the bit about the AWA exhibition!!Your outfit was totally appropriate for the occasion too!!
I usually don't comment on RUclips videos but I just wanna thank you, for these amazing videos! They give me so much motivation to work on my thesis and to take time for me as well, thank you, Ruby !!
Hi Ruby, can you make a video on how you keep yourself healthy? Not just mental health but also physical health (eating, sleeping, exercise). Love your content :)
Just a fun fact about Catechism, a lot of Christian denominations still use them today to teach children and those new to faith, to help them understand the basis of our faith as well as certain understandings and texts that may be hard to understand. We also still use them in certain denominations as a second Sermon teaching that a bit less formal.
highlight of my day ♥ Ruby, your mum has such ja beautiful smile! 23:40 is like Jade would call it just casual magic and made me smile! Your parents look so happy together!
This was the video that I really needed at the moment. At my university we have deadline season coming up, so I feel really stressed. I'm so glad you posted this !!
please tell me if you find any youtuber with a decent following who doesn't do anything without getting paid by irrelevant companies. I only know one successful channel that never did any sponsored videos or showcased gifted products. The last few videos Ruby uploaded were all sponsored (I think it was the last ten or so), she clearly only uploads for the money and then never mentions using the products or services again.
I felt the same. But her other tips sounded very genuin to me. And to be fair, i think there are a lot worse things to advertise than a relatively cheap app for meditation.
Ruby, amazing video! Unrelated: your voice in this video sounds deeper than usual. At one point I thought it was your sister speaking, you sounded just like her😄
hi ruby! honestly i have no idea how to start this, but at first i want to say you are living my dream! watching your videos realy inspires me to work harder for what i deeply want. God i wish i can see you in person and ask everything about your university...🤩
Hi Ruby, I love your videos and am a bookworm too! I am getting an IPad for my Masters degree and wonder if you could include some content on how you use your IPad and how it’s beneficial to studying. Thanks x
Watching ruby's videos are like spending time with a childhood friend who you love a lot . I've been watching ruby for over 4 years now .Last year I graduated high school and took a drop for a competitive engineering entrance exam, it's in 1 month wish me luck hehe.
hey, can you do a latest 'How to' video on getting into focused study sessions and how to increase the duration over time? I love your vlogs also, but ive been looking forward to your tips/Concept Videos for a while haha
Hey Ruby! I just wanted to say, that I love your videos and how they motivate me to do the things I have to do. When are you going to upload your next video ❤❤
Hi, Ruby! I just recently started watching your channel, and I wanted to thank you for all of the great tips and motivation you've given throughout your videos! No pressure to answer this, but I was also wondering if you had any good tips on how to make writing essays fun, especially when you don't know what to write. I would say this is the task I dread the most in school, but I want to get to the point where I feel confident in them and am able to have more fun writing them. Thanks again for all the inspiration, and good luck with the rest of your time at Oxford! ❤
Hi Ruby! Love the vlog as always ❤ would you ever do a video on how to read more vs phone/screen time? I need some tips on how to read instead of being on my phone 😅
coffee , oh ruby i try Hamburg Hafen Live (mürrische möwe and landratte) Hamburg 🇩🇪 habour live ( coffee grumpy gull and country-rat ) ...this coffee beans are intresting to change the weekly/monthly taste ...beside your regular products , i used white sugar cubes plus 12% coffee milk ...next i try brown sugar , i let you know 👋☘️
Ruby I just love your vlogs. I’m a mature student studying part time and your videos always help to motivate me to do better so I’m thankful. Also just wondering where you got your smeg coffee cup? Thank you
❤ The stigma of going to your family: is that because then you don't study enough? Or because it's supposed to be childish? When I was a student, going to your parents meant studying more than staying in your own (new) home where there are friends and distractions. I'd love to understand the rational behind the stigma your mentioned! (Or maybe another student from the UK can explain 😊)
Going back to your family’s place is like detaching yourself from the academic setting in which you are when at university or university accommodation, hence it is perceived as an attempt to flee from your responsibilities and work and to instead linger idly at home.
Stigma is the wrong word and nothing to do with studying. We visited my daughter during term time, it was only an hour and half away, and she came home occasionally, usually if there was something with her old school friends in our home town or a family special event. However I preferred she was building a good independent social life at Uni rather than clinging to her childhood. She had a month vacation at Easter, Christmas and 3 months in the summer!
@@nicolad8822 as I distinctly stated, it is seen as an attempt to distance oneself from *academic* duties and responsibilities. If I’m working at the dorms and I go back to my family’s place I am as distant from anything related to university work as can possibly be (within reason), which is why visiting your family when you ‘don’t have a real reason to’ in the middle of the term is rejected by some people.
I think the loudest people who make others feel lame or uncool for wanting to go home in the middle of the school year are the ones who secretly want friends and family they'd want to go home to. People who have good relationships with their family would never shame other people for wanting to visit and see them. Don't listen to the jealous haters
What is the full length of your master's program? In the U.S. a master's is around two years on average, give or take how many classes you take per semester.
@@RubyGranger8 I might have gone for a master's if I could have done it in 9 months! 😄Some can do a master's in a year here, but that's overloading on classes. There are some 8 week classes, but most (at least that I've seen) are 16 week with the fall semester going from around late August to December and the spring semester going January to May. Summer courses are offered as well that are 8 week and 4 week. I wish there were more structures like yours.
I am a 33 yo woman My favorite thing to do during the weekend, after a hectic week with a full time job, is to go to my moms. She lives in the middle of the woods, has a huge bookshelf, lots if tea and an adorable dog. Idc that I'm turning 34 in 8 months, why would I not spend my weekends in a cabin in the woods, cuddling a dog and reading books, just because "it's at my moms house, and I'm an adult"? That mindset is just ridicilous
You look so at ease, when you’re at home. Take all the time you need to rest: you’ve done more than your fair share for the world in recent weeks. Let other people bare the burden for a while. Enjoy Oxford University as much as possible in the next 4 months, it’s a unique experience. We’re mostly unaware of these things, at the time. But what fun, many years later.

I used to watch her when I was in 7th grade. I'm in 12 grade now and honestly coming back to her channel gives me a feeling of home.

I usually watch my videos at 2x but when you upload it’s at normal spread. It’s like savouring a nice cozy hot chocolate🤍🧣
Oh that’s so lovely 🥰
Just watched your Oxford Union Society speech, Ruby. You spoke very well and raised some very pertinent points. Well done! X

People who have good relationships with their family would never shame other people for wanting to visit and see them. Don't listen to the jealous haters
What is the full length of your master's program? In the U.S. a master's is around two years on average, give or take how many classes you take per semester.
Only 9 months :( I wish it were longer x
@@RubyGranger8 I might have gone for a master's if I could have done it in 9 months! 😄Some can do a master's in a year here, but that's overloading on classes. There are some 8 week classes, but most (at least that I've seen) are 16 week with the fall semester going from around late August to December and the spring semester going January to May. Summer courses are offered as well that are 8 week and 4 week. I wish there were more structures like yours.
I really love your videos ☕📚📑📖🩷
I really liked the music in this video!
I know this is out of content but I would love to see Ruby create a video 'What's on my ipad' is just a suggestion though! Anyways like your videos!
I am a 33 yo woman
My favorite thing to do during the weekend, after a hectic week with a full time job, is to go to my moms.
She lives in the middle of the woods, has a huge bookshelf, lots if tea and an adorable dog.
Idc that I'm turning 34 in 8 months, why would I not spend my weekends in a cabin in the woods, cuddling a dog and reading books, just because "it's at my moms house, and I'm an adult"?
That mindset is just ridicilous
Hi Ruby! Can you please drop the link of the music used in the intro of this video?

You look so at ease, when you’re at home.
Take all the time you need to rest: you’ve done more than your fair share for the world in recent weeks. Let other people bare the burden for a while.
Enjoy Oxford University as much as possible in the next 4 months, it’s a unique experience.
We’re mostly unaware of these things, at the time. But what fun, many years later.
Is your masters a year or two years? Can't believe it's already March.
You been doing good on your slefcare
Does the Oxford Library candle smell like the actual Oxford Library?
