Ibz absolutely love this vid and your update. The “blood is thicker than water” quote is actually “the blood of the convent is thicker than the water of the womb” meaning the family you choose is more valuable than the one you happened to be born into. And as someone who’s had similar experiences with not great family, I see & support you.
Ibz has always been the realest fucking studytuber out here. I have been watching studytuber since year 11 and now here I am almost done with my law degree omgggg. And my faves aren't studying anymore aww. But I'm so proud of youuuuu!!!! I've been a fan of your content for the longest time cos you just tell it how it is, especially being a minority and not having the pristine upper middle class background all the other studytuber had. It's people like you who truly inspire me cos sometimes life truly is shit and people try so hard to make something of themselves despite that, and for others it's not really the same.
Ibrahim, I am so proud of you in so many ways. I've been following you for years, and seeing your growth as a young, South Asian, Muslim man makes me happy for you. It's refreshing to hear you talk about the struggles about family issues - it's something that gets swept under the rug within the Asian and Muslim community. Family is such an important aspect of both communities, so distancing yourself from family for the benefit of your own happiness and wellbeing must've been such a hard decision - and I'm proud that you have done this for yourself. I'm glad to hear you are content with your situation at the moment, and that you have found your people outside of family. I sincerely wish you all the success and most importantly, all the happiness. You're a gem. Keep on being you :)
This guy been up since day, even when he didn't think he was up he was a shining light to so many. So deserving of all the success he has earnt, such an inspiration to me as I come from an Asian, working-class dysfunctional family studying at a Russel Group (Exeter, pray for me, it was the only Russel I could get into). Big up your ting Ibz!!
The nicest catch-up I’ve seen in a while. So happy to see how you’ve persevered and reached all the goals you said you would 5.5 years ago, alhamdulillah
Graduating in the summer! You saved me from Exeter LMAO. This video legit answered all my questions I've had for the last few days! CONGRATS WITH EVERYTHING! Making us all believe that there will be better days x
Watched you from day 1, always been very inspirational, especially for me as a student from a low income dysfunctional family! It's amazing where you've gotten to in life, praying for all the success and happiness in your future!
been here for years and i’m so proud of everything you are achieving! you deserve every success that comes your way and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you ❤ :)
I watched your videos soooo much during GCSE, Alevels and then uni and now I’m a chiropractor 6 months in to the job! So nice to hear someone talk about life after uni x
ever since i started watching you years ago back when I was grinding for grades in behavioral neuroscience undergrad, i realized school isnt for me. and thats where i'm at today:) ty for really being a source of inspiration for me when i needed it
the full saying goes: Blood shed in battle is thicker than the water of the womb. Well done for looking after you, I’ve had to so similar and no one understands but you from your own lived experience
listen ibby, i love you for years and i love your journey. I am out of academia now, and i moved on way past the common lifestyle that had me seek you out, but oyu are my window to how it is in britain culturally. I trust you more than most ppl talking about the cultural environment, as I grew up in a pretty bad area and just left the country. you made me feel like i want to move back, you satiated my homesickness for the longest time. Whatever you choose to do, just know that i love your gossip over uni culture, and the hope you give me as a brown brit who was fed up and left.
Haven't watched you in years but you're still lovely and funny. I'm smiling and laughing watching this. Well done with all your studies/work and healing and faith. Wishing you all good things!!
You are a beautiful human being Ibz. I've followed your uploads since the start of Cambridge and it's so heartening to hear you now in such a good, stable place. X
Ramadan kareem Ibz! I started watching you when I was in my last year of school applying to uni, and now alhamdulilah I've graduated and secured a training contract! Having your presence along this wild academic journey has been a source of entertainment, guidance, and comfort. Best of luck with whatever the future holds for you and I can't wait for the upcoming chef content👨🍳
IBZ! The way I was just re-watching your Oxford move-in vlog when I saw this video in my subscription box 🤣 In terms of new video ideas, I would LOVE to see you continue your ‘Applying for Masters’ series knowing how many aspects there are to the applications! Wishing you the best and can’t wait to see what else you have planned!
You helped me work hard when I felt it was time to give up. Your videos have always been so supportive and motivational and watching you talk about how content you are in life makes me feel soo soo happy. 🧿❤
Love your videos and seeing how much you have grown! Im happy to hear you are healing your inner child. I was wondering if you could do a video for parents of young children on how to give a headstart for their children academically and extra curricularwise...I come from a toxic household from a deprived area and havent a clue. Just grateful i am breaking the cycle ❤
Been watching you since GCSEs Ibz and you are always so inspirational and uplifting 🤩(asides the reminder of the student debt I'll have at the end of my 6 years in uni :\) So happy for you that you have found peace and contentment now, looking forward to any future Zumba videos!😆
So lovely to see this update I started watching you when I was doing my a levels and I graduated from uni 3 years ago now! Let me tell you Adulting has really been Adulting 😅
U had to bang on about the bins on the drawers😂😂 And that whole Muslim Community view of family no matter what😢😢 Edit: not to mention, I've gone from firmly considering marriage after 25, to bring 21 and thinking about it night and day.
I started watching you when I was in year 11 doing GCSEs and now I'm in my fourth year at uni. Really nice to hear how you have been doing 😊
Same 👍🏻
sameee
SAMEEE
Omg literally same! What a journey, feels so surreal!

I SCREAMED AT THE EXETER ANNOUNCEMENT. don't play with us like thatt
Hi Nathan! Didn't know u watched from Canada😮
So so SO proud of everything you’re doing 🫶
HEY JAY!
Ibz absolutely love this vid and your update.

Congrats Ibz❤.. saw the Lights at Oxford Street for Ramadan!! And proud of u.. for increasing cultural & religious awareness towards Muslims 💫
Ahhh I'm so happy you got to see the Ramadan Lights!!!!

I love how Ibz's personality hasn't changed one bit!! 😂😂All the best for you Ibz!
The nicest catch-up I’ve seen in a while. So happy to see how you’ve persevered and reached all the goals you said you would 5.5 years ago, alhamdulillah
The words "Exeter University" is a jump scare.
Huge congrats to you and your journey, sending love to you!!
wait why? as someone who is meant to be looking for a uni
@pianopaeonia it's a reference to a previous video ibz made about how badly they screwed him over before he decided to apply for Cambridge lol
Graduating in the summer! You saved me from Exeter LMAO. This video legit answered all my questions I've had for the last few days! CONGRATS WITH EVERYTHING! Making us all believe that there will be better days x
this was so wholesome 🥺 i’ve been watching Ibz since i was in secondary school and now i’m finishing my first year of uni! this truly warms my heart
1:18 u almost got me there. Newley had a heart attack
When he said phd at Exeter I went into cardiac arrest
these life update videos always make me feel like i’m catching up with an old friend
Watched you from day 1, always been very inspirational, especially for me as a student from a low income dysfunctional family! It's amazing where you've gotten to in life, praying for all the success and happiness in your future!
Well done Ibz. I have been watching you since 2017. You have come so far.
