My main motivation for studying comes from this Lemony Snicket quote: "They say in every library there is a single book that can answer the question that burns like a fire in the mind." - Therefore I feel like the more I study, the closer I am to finding that answer. Great video Ruby
Another lemony quote: “I like to think that a library is like an island in a vast sea of ignorance. Particularly if the library is tall and the surrounding area has been flooded.”
So, I have do defend the muji pens, for there is one use-case where they are actually the best (but still not worth the hype): At my university you are allowed to take one page of handwritten notes into your exams and there is nothing that can beat the .38 muji pen there. They don't smudge and I can write up to three lines in one grid without losing the ability to read them afterwards. I have been using the .4 Pilot G-TEC-C4 before and mujis are simply a bit better.
I don’t know if they still do them, but Muji used to offer a .25 mm gel pen that is even better for those handwritten Formular sheets as they’re noticeably thinner than the .38 mm ones.
Have you tried the 0.38 pilot G2? It doesn't skip at all like the G-TECs and it's also very fine. Super basic, I know, but it's also a great option that's commonly available.
@@funcisco Maybe it's just an issue I had; I also often switched between writing in script for notes and in print for equations so that might have contributed to it not working well for me.
My main motivation for studying is: "If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If broken by an inside force, life begins. Great things always begin from inside and are not forced." Lóve this videó so much!
My motivation for studying: "Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do." -Pelé
I LOOOOOOVE my Remarkable. I’ve had mine for almost 4 years and I couldn’t live without it. I like that I can’t do anything but write on it. I appreciate that it’s “off the grid” during a time when we’re constantly surrounded by tech. I feel like I can be more creative. Plus, I can easily store all my school notes.
I am becoming more and more obsessed with mine! It just doesn't feel like technology at all and you're right about it letting you be more creative... I've been using it for creative writing and just love it. Do you use the feature which lets you convert your handwriting to typed words? I haven't but was wondering if that's something you ever found useful? x
@@RubyGranger8 Yes, I do use it! The main reason I got the Remarkable is because I like to write fiction by hand but hate having to retype it all. It’s not always a perfect match but you write much neater than I do, so I bet it would work better for you. I also write in cursive most of the time and it even does about 95% correct conversion with my cursive.
For mildliners: I don't think they are overhyped at all too. The colours are beautiful and i had them for almost 3 years (the same ones) and only after 3 years they stopped working, however, I should mention that i was using them daily for taking notes and doodles in my bullet journal. Honestly, if I had to select only one markers to have for the rest of my life, mildliners would be my first choice!
@@nishachhetri omg samee and everytime I buy the same thing happens!!! I feel that it is too expensive and not good because the tip is super hard and not even good for highlighting:(( it keeps on bleeding when on paper for some reason😭😭😭😭
I also really like them but because they are only available on Amazon and are shipped from I think it was Japan, it did hurt a lot to pay so much for shipping and also on top of that an additional 15€ for oversea shipping. Shipping nearly did cost as much as the mildliners themselves. So although I really do like them a lot and I use them everyday (for me they are nearly everything I could want in a highlighter) I probably wouldn't buy them again. But if I could purchase them here in a shop I would definitely buy them again. I have been using mine now for 3 months and I do hope that they will last.
I'm 32 and I *finally* just started university - psychology! So my motivation to study is that I want to be the change I'd like to see in the world and give back all the good psychologists gave me during all these years :) (I was convinced I did not need the Remarkable but now I'm not so sure, it looks so pretty and useful! I like that it has no notifications nor other distracting features as well, it's starting to look way too tempting)
The thing about the notifications is that you can turn off notifications while studying if you don’t want them, for example all apple products on mostly recent updates have Do Not Disturb mode the remarkable does one less thing than what the iPad can do so would justify that price point even less
I totally agree with you. All of those things are nice to have but when it comes down to it the only thing you need is a laptop. I personally prefer the MacBook (had another computer before) but I believe it is very much dependent on your preferences and your other devices. :)
It's so easy to get caught up thinking that we need all of these things to study (and I'm not going to pretend I'm not guilty of that because, as you can see, I have a lot of these products) -- but hard work, focus and motivation (plus a laptop) is what you really need x
Exactly. As time went on I even got rid of more and more as a student. I stopped using special paper or notebooks and used plain, the cheapest I could find, notebooks. During my time as a student the biggest game changer was an extra monitor to use with my laptop when writing at home. Buying a good keyboard and mouse can also make a huge difference. Getting those documents up on a bigger screen makes a huge difference and doing research online is more efficient and a monitor doesn't have to be expensive at all.
Just incase someone was looking for a cheaper alternative to the Remarkable - I was looking into buying a Remarkable (because it honestly seems incredible), but the price was just so far out of my budget it was almost laughable. I ended up getting something called a Boox. They have few different models, some of which cost the same as a Remarkable but some that cost hundreds of dollars less. I got their cheapest one, which is obviously less advanced than the more recent/expensive models, but all of the key selling features remain the same (it feels like paper and basically functions as an e-book - e-notebook combo). I've been using it for over a year now for both reading and writing and I really do love it. My only critic is how easily worn out the pen nibs are. I am quite a heavy writer, but the pad comes with multiple spare nibs, which suggests to me that they are expected to be worn down.
I'm trying to heal my relationship to studying and my motivation for it in general because I had a bad experience in uni where it was normal for the professors to treat the students poorly, so I'm reading what y'all wrote 💗
Fundamentally, if writing on paper is your thing, why not simply write on paper? I love to sketch on real paper, loose and notebooks, for there's something about it that feels in touch with artists and students of yore. That being said, it's useful to have your appraisals of these products, Ruby. Hopefully there'll be students and professionals who'll find this helpful!
It depends I guess. For some people it’s storage. I personally prefer writing on actual paper, and most of my notes are on actual paper notebooks, but some classes utilize power points and I find it easier to download them unto my iPad, annotate them there, then rewrite them on paper. I also use the iPad instead of a notebook on classes that are not very extensive in note taking and may require me to move info around, but any major studying has me rewrite them on actual paper as nothing really beats the feel of real paper for me. It’s also satisfying to flip through all my notes at the end of the semester.
i think that for some people it's just the fact that you can always have your info on you but also the environmental side of preserving trees and production waste. on the other side, you can always recycle paper so i personally also dont really see the hype esp if you dont have the money for the tablets
For me it's like, I go through so many notebooks that it almost feels illegal??? Like, I feel bad for essentially wasting so much paper, that this does seem like a great alternative
Edit: My motivation to study comes from me wanting to push myself intellectually and grow as a person. Throughout these past few years, as I have been in University, I feel as though I have drastically changed in terms of the way in which I think about things and thus, have become a more confident version of myself. Through studying, I hope to facilitate this growth in both areas of my life. P.S. I am sorry for not inserting this comment earlier. This is something that I wanted to reflect upon as I was studying so that I could give a genuine answer to your question. Even if I don't win the giveaway, I feel as though this question has allowed me to view things in a different light, and for that I am thankful. I love this video!! I have always been curious as to what products you use, and I appreciate that you have decided to give an honest review of them. I would love to see a similar video regarding study techniques such as the Pomodoro, active recall, and so on. I hope that all is well, and thanks again for another wonderful video!
That's such a good video idea! I can definitely film that in the new year! Because there are definitely study methods (like Pomodoro) which I don't like at all x
@@RubyGranger8 I am glad that you are considering filming it! I think that it could be a useful video to introduce people to basic studying techniques and show them the pros and cons of each one (like you did with this video). Personally, I find the Pomodoro technique useful depending on the task that I am doing. For instance, I find it useful for reading assignments, but I don't like using it when I am writing essays.
My motivation for studying: I am a medical student and I want to be able to save lives of the people whose loved ones put their trust in me. I want to be so good at what I do that I am able to look at a patient, and tell them that they are going to be alright.❤ Love your content, Ruby, keep going!✨
My most motivating idea when studying on most days is peace of mind. That 1 hour today reduces stress for me in the future. That I am helping myself by studying regularly, both in the near future and the long run! Loved the video, have a wonderful day y'all
The giveaway question was so personal to me because I never needed a reason to study, I did it because I had exams and it was part of the system. But now I realize the importance of having motivation so I thought long and hard about it a few weeks ago, and my motivation is just knowing stuff. So many people spent a huge chunk of their lives to find the answer to a questions, to do research. So many people have written their advice and life experiences in books and papers. There is infinite amount knowledge we can get get and educate ourselves. And this very knowledge is such a gift, once you make it yours no one can take it away from you! it can be used to improve lives, help others, improve the environment, discover and invent new things and so much more. For me studying has always been a chore which I dread, but while writing this I realize how much I actually enjoy the process. I love learning just for the sake of it, to feed my curious mind and help it to grow. Learning really does bring us joy. I've always disliked the idea of doing something so you can capitalize it later instead of truly enjoying the process. I hope that this fire for learning always grows in all us! edit- I have a tip for all those who want to have digital handwritten notes without an iPad, you can use a graphic tablet which is soo much cheaper and you can connect it to your laptop without having to look down straining your neck. I can't recommend it enough! it is such a good alternative 😄 you can also use it for art
My motivation for studying is to help change the world and help those in need. I might not be studying anything academic, and I don't know how much pride there is in studying to become a nurse. But I want to be one hell of a nurse, when I finish. I'm taking my education in Denmark, but the fact that my education is in many cases a one way ticket to different countries is also a motivation. That's what studying can do, bring possibilities. No matter what you study, it can truly open doors for us.
My number one motivation for studying is that knowledge is the gateway to communing with the great minds of generations before. Through gaining knowledge and studying great works I am gaining access into the great conversation that has been going on for thousands of years, and that is exciting and energizing!
My motivation for studying is purely learning as much as I can about any subject. I find it so invigorating when I can adapt what I have learnt to my daily life and being able to sit in an exam knowing every single question because I was so intrigued by everything I have just consumed from studying. Personally I have dyslexia which can make study really challenging sometimes. However over coming those difficulties and seeing my full potential makes studying all that more satisfying. Ultimately I feel that given the opportunity to study is such a privilege, so I want to ensure that I make the most of every second :)
My main motivation for studying is myself, learning, and the fact that by studying I can expand my knowledge infinitely. I am still in middle school but I have found such a joy for learning. I know that when I am older, I really want to be a doctor and it brings me so much joy helping others like my siblings love to study and learn. When I study further, I learn so much more than I would have and overall, I feel really proud of myself. I love being a role model for others and helping people around me. Ever since I have watched your channel you have motivated me so much and have been a really big role model. I love your style and you have really helped me build my confidence. I hope you see this and have a happy holidays! Thank you!
As a psycologhy student, my main motivation to study is to be able to help people to live their best lives. I love helping people, I always did, since I was a little kid. I am very conscious of my priviledge for being able to study what I love and what I feel passion about. Thanks Ruby for motivate me!
My main study motivation was at first to get good grades to get into the schools I wanted but now as I’m only studying a singer/songwriter program my heart sincerely beats for I do it to learn and grow as an artist and musician. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for almost two years now and it wasn’t until the dawn of this academic year that I truly began to understand your whole study philosophy and how life really changes for the better once you choose to follow love. I didn’t even intend for this comment to be this long and I suppose that in a way shows it. In other words my motivation is ❤️
My main motivation for studying is so that I can build a better future for myself-- not only open doors, but to grow as a person and use this growth to live a happy, focused life. I've found that studying in any form-- whether it be studying for a university test, studying a language or studying a book in more depth, I always learn something new and think about the world in different perspectives and it is such a lovely feeling. You've also helped me appreciate it a lot more and I truly enjoy the person I am when I am studying. Thanks for this giveaway and loved the video!
I honestly haven't felt that motivated for studying lately, but whenever i do it's mainly because of the fact that i really like learning and expanding my knowledge. I know it has so many advantages for myself later, which really helps with the motivation.
My motivation for studying: I just love learning and its what makes me feel happiest especially when im stressed out. A good study session just makes me feel calm and at peace.
I love how you decorated your room, but thank you so much for your honesty about reviewing these products. I've used something similar to the paperlike and your pencil tip does wear out over extended use. This video was very lovely and I appreciate your thoughts on these products! I hope you have a lovely day!
My main motivation for studying is honestly studytubers/studygram. I get motivation just by watching time lapses of people studying and it makes me want to study too. I also make time lapses of me studying when I don’t want to go on my phone because it’s satisfying to see a 50 second time lapse of me doing work. I’ve been watching ruby since middle school and I’m now a freshman in University.
I love that you've released a yearly planner because now I can use it in New Zealand for my school year. My one main motivation for studying is to explore different fields and find answers to things I've always been curious about❤
My main motivation is to gather as much knowledge as possible, so I can spread it further and share my love for the theatre with other people. I would love them to be more confident going to the theatre or opera, having fun, and experiencing those wonderful feelings that I experience almost every time I go and see a play💕
My motivation for studying is my dream to become knowledgeable in many different fields, not only in the one that I'm studying in Uni. For example, I love reading and studying chess in my free time. Thanks for the video, Ruby!
i think my number one motivation for studying has always been the instant gratification i get from setting a task and then doing it successfully as i planned, it really gives you a sense of control and mindfulness that nothing else can get you. Also, it’s soooo refreshing to actually see someone review the paperlike so honestly.
To be honest: My main motivation for studying is the fact that I really wanna finish off university and become a lawyer. I wish, that I could enjoy the process of studying itself more and be less of a procrastinator 😅but I'm working on it and your videos are really helpful with this! Thank you so much Ruby!
Hi ruby ! please make a video on how you use your iPad for studying :D eg: what apps you use to read and annotate PDFs, what apps you use for note taking/mindmaps etc ! thanks ♡
My motivation for studying is myself. 2 years ago I could never have imagined that I would be in school, so every time I take a test - no matter the result, I’m always proud of myself
My main motivation for studying learning, understanding and connecting as much knowledge and ideas as i can! I have always been very curious, doing my own research on topics i find interesting. And what i enjoy the most is when i finally understand a subject deeply enough to see the correlations between different topics, how you get from point A to point B, and eventually, have my own ideas and relate them to the content i know! It's always so exciting to make a deduction or a reasoning and see that you are right, that you have connected the info properly!
I love my paperlike screen protector, it makes taking notes so much more pleasant. I also haven’t needed to replace my Apple Pencil tip after using if for years
my main motivation for studying is to help people. i like the feeling that comes with knowing something, and being able to help someone else understand it as well! i also study so I can do what I want later. i either want to be a psychologist, specifically a mental health therapist if possible, or a librarian. two very different occupations, but I know both would bring me joy. it's a lot of work, so I have to study and do well now! i really liked today's video!
My number one main reason for studying is the result. I feel so proud after a study session because I’ve done something for my present self but also for my future self. You are my favorite TH-camr and also a big motivation for studying. I hope you are doing well and stay safe
A tip for some people that are planning to get a laptop because your school/university requires it but still wants to write notes by hand and draw you can always buy a laptop that has touch screen and if it doesn’t have a pen included you can buy a stylus or something similar to the Apple Pencil as a alternative
My number one motivation to study is the fact that I want to be able to help people and by following my dream career, I can do that actively every single day. Love your videos!!
My main motivation for studying is to better myself and develop a better perspective on the world. Learning about the world deepens my understanding and allows me to contribute to society in better ways (teaching, sharing knowledge, etc.).
My motivation for studying comes from my hope to be a better person than I was previously. I don't have a concrete definition of what better is other than it being denoted by the effort I put in and the fulfillment I get out of each day. I feel uncertain about my future at times, so what better use of my time than to focus on what I can do in the moment! And lovely video, I appreciate the honesty you show in your review.
My motivation for studying comes from different sources, sometimes it is just the pure joy from learning something new, sometimes it is the praise and success that is connected to studying (yes, I know very well this isn't a healthy one, but let's be honest, this sometimes is a source of motivation for almost all of us), and from time to time the motivation doesn't come at all. But I am trying my best to stay healthily motivated instead of being overly motivated and then becoming burnt out, which used to happen to me quite often in the past..
My main motivation for studying is using the Pomodoro method, since I can concentrate for just a period of time. However, sometimes I go onto the next pomodoro session without a break because I would be in the “flow”. I am a big fan of your channel, and have seen a whole lot more productivity in my life since watching. I’d also recommend the “Exam Study Expert” podcast to people, as there is a lot of good tips there as well!
I study to keep my brain busy and to keep myself occupied! I always need balance in my life, and a big part of that for me is studying alongside everything else I do
I study biology and the amount of things I have to learn is quite overwhelming sometimes but in those moments of crisis I remind myself why I chose it and the answer is to help to save the world that we live in. So my main motivation for studying is actually Nature and all the wonderfull creatures that surround us beacuse even though I have moments of a complete breakdown when I see what's happening to the world I still somehow have faith that we can still save the world and be kind to Nature and each other. Also thank you Ruby for spreading the message of how important kindness is. I truly believe people like you are the blessing of this world and make it a better place ♥
My main motivation for my studies is to help children aged 12 to 17 with their personal development but also with their historical skills, because I study to become a history teacher in the Netherlands. I am now doing a university master for history teacher. Your tips and videos have already helped me so much in my studies. So thank you for that! With lots of love from the Netherlands- Tessa ;)
My study motivation: candles! I’d always see you lighting a candle and one day just decided to do the same, now i literally cannot study without lighting one. I’m quite the night owl and my motivation spikes the highest in evenings, so they look even more lovely with the surrounding darkness. Especially during fall/winter times when it gets dark earlier, I can never resist it. Thank you for the inspiration :)
I know, this may sound kinda weird but it is really interesting to see which people stand behind the content I'm learning. When I learn, I love reading biographies of the scientist who founded the content I'm learning, the writer of a book I'm reading for school, important people in the history and so on... It is just really interesting to see, how genius, creative and special all those people were. It's just nice, to appreciate it and it makes me also really curious.
my motivation to study for now, is to enjoy studying! I am currently just declared my major and I loved it. I feel very excited for my classes and learning new things. It is just the feeling of learning what you like and find it interesting really pushes and motivates me☺️
My motivation to study: my parents. They emigrated from Albania to give me the opportunity to have a better future. The only means to thank them for their sacrifice and to really have the future they dream for me is studying and gaining it through hard work. Thank you for this opportunity, I really love your products
To be todally honest, my main motivation for studying is learning to fall in love with studying again. I am in my first semester of uni and used to attend a very advanced highschool for my A levels and a very strict elementary school. The whole school system does not fit my way of living and learning at all. But due to that and also some mental health issues it is actually extremely difficult for me to be motivated or even to enjoy studying. But I want to improve my relationship with studying again because I know that studying and education is actually such a privilege, such a great oppertunity and also it can be so much fun. I remember how much I liked learning before I went to school. So this is my main motivation to study and to learn, to love to study and to learn. And it still is a challenge every day. But thanks so much for your videos Ruby! You and other studytubers really help me to fix my motivation!
My main inspiration to study is that I really want to gain new knowledge and understand the things I once found confusing. I'm really motivated by the progress I see in my knowledge as I study and especially when I can finally understand something I found confusing before! Thank you for your videos Ruby x
My main motivation for studying is personal growth. :) Right now, I'm looking to change career path, but I think even in the future I don't want to ever stop studying! I find it so inspiring to learn new things and challenge myself.
My main motivation for studying is the fact that no matter how much you learn, there’s always something more to discover! It’s an endless journey which helps you develop as a character and I find that the more I study and learn, the more motivated I am to explore this world further 💙
Honestly, my current motivation to study comes from genuine wish to learn and improve myself. It's been years since I graduated from high school, and after losing the right timing to go to university and getting hit by life again and again, I just stopped studying. But this summer, out of nowhere, I had this random but extremely strong motivation to study and get into a university to major in my dream major. So now I study daily, and I have this giddiness inside me. It's so different - I'm happy to study and learn ^^
My motivation for studying is that I loved nothing more than being in school, and now university, learning everyday. I want to continue learning for the rest of my life, so studying helps me to achieve my academic goals that will allow me to continue in education
Studying is no pleasure, but learning can be. My main motivation to study is learning, not only the subjects I am studying but to learn about my self. Self-discipline is one of the hardest things to archive, and I have found that being constant in my studying is helping me getting there. The feeling that I can become that person just keeps me going :)
My motivation for studying: "It always seems impossible, until it's done" - Nelson Mandela I absolutely love this quote because it reminds me that if I am having trouble doing certain schoolwork, or finishing homework, I know that it has been done, so I will be able to find an answer and work through it
My 1# motivation for studying is to have a happy future for myself and know that I’m waking up every day to what I love to do. I also want make my parents proud and be the first in my family with a successful job. What I do to keep myself organized is using a planner to keep up with deadlines making sure I finish before it’s due.
My #1 motivation for studying is that the knowledge it gives me enhances all other aspects of my life - family, friends, food, art… and I also know that after studying, I will have time to do the things I enjoy, like reading and playing piano. :)
Hey Ruby!! My main motivation is honestly you. Whenever I lack in motivation, my number one boost is watching your videos. The way you romanticise school and studying is amazing. Thanks for uploading rubes xx :)
My main motivation for studying is being dyslexic, finding ways around it and how my brain best learns and picks things up, wanting to grow and learn more, My father taught me it doesn't matter where you come from, how much you have or how rich or poor you are, knowledge is something that can never be taken away a quote I think about a lot comes from Doctor Who. “ You want weapons? We're in a library. Books are the best weapon in the world. This room's the greatest arsenal we could have. Arm yourself Great Video Ruby xx
My main motivation for studying is : "good things come to those who work really hard" . I'm still at school and I want to use this time where I can learn so many things for life. I also like the quote "Do what you can't do and soon you will be able to do it".
I would say my main motivation for studying is that I can help others with my knowledge. That may sound weird, but It's true! I have always liked to learn new things and even though there are some boring topics, my subjects are often very interesting. Because I study every day, my friends often come to me if they need advice. That can be advice on how to study effectively or some extra help on a topic. I love that I can help others with something I also like! 😄
This a great video especially for first year collage students that might be intimidated by all the study related social media! You did an amazing job! Just in case anyone is interested I would like to mention the feature with the screen shots inserted in documents is not actually Apple exclusive. Every operation system has a version of it and also a version of air drop. It's just that Windows works with Android (in my case Samsung). I hope that helps :)
My main motivation for studying is to learn as much new information as physically possible. I've always loved learning and could honestly spend the rest of my life hunkered away filling my brain with new information about the world around me. I love nearly every subject and consume a near obsessive amount of books/media on various subjects (often at my own detriment when I very well should focus my attention on more important matters haha). Because of this, I'm studying to be a doctor, since it is a field in which you never stop learning (and requires a lot of schooling which I also enjoy). Overall, I generally enjoy studying and continue to do so as a means of expanding my horizons and perceptions. I just can't seem to turn my brain off 😂
As someone who bought the iPad Pro - I am seriously regretting it. There was a design flaw in the 10.5 inch models which causes a huge white patch to form about an inch above the home button. You made the right decision in choosing the normal iPad!
my main motivation for studying is knowing that if i work hard and put in the effort i'll be able to help so many people with my knowledge (i want to be a neuroscientist) just knowing that i could be the reason someone gets to live their life is so so motivating and i love it 💓
My main motivation for studying is the feeling of 'understating' a subject, when it clicks and makes sense, that feeling is such a high! And then of course when I get to explain it to others in simple terms!
My main motivation for studying is for satisfying my curiosity. I love learning new things while in class and later going home and doing additional research because new questions popped into my mind. I also adore signing up for online courses and masterclasses where I can study subjects that are not offered by my program and pick skills that will help my career or overall life:)
My main motivation for studying is that you become a new person with every drop of knowledge you get. You are also so privileged if you are able to drink from this well. It might be difficult to bring up water but it is worth it if you can water your soul, mind and body. 🌷 Ruby, your stationary is so aesthetic. I could never. Loved the video as well. I have always wanted a Kanken but it is just a little expensive for me at the moment. Hope you also have a lovely week at uni. 🤗
I absolutely adore the mildliners, they’re my staple stationary. 😍Main motivation had got to be…. Having a constant reminder of what I’m working towards, weather that’s a mood board that visible whilst I work or just a ambience playing that sounds like my path (so I want to go into criminology so I play office sounds, maybe some city towns as well)
I've been thinking about getting some noise cancelling headphones so this video was very helpful in that regard. My motivation for studying, besides wanting to graduate college, is just that I believe strongly in continued learning. I don't think we should ever stop learning and studying even after we're done with school.
My Motivation for studying is making the most of my opportunities. My time at university is limited (and the time I have per week to study is limited, too), so trying to make the most of it motivates me.
my main motivation for studying is knowing that after I graduate and I get to put my degree to use it will be worth it! I study medicine and it can feel so long at times but pushing myself to learn more and questioning the way everything works has helped me so much. Also, the satisfaction when you get your head around something difficult is unmatched!!!!!
My number one main motivation for studying is that with everything I learn, with every book I read and with every golden nugget of information I feel my soul becoming more and more alive. I feel connected to the world to the present, to the past and to other people. The books I study come to life, historical events are tantalisingly tangible and the building of knowledge makes me feel as though I’m building an empire of tools that I can utilise for the rest of my life. To learn and to study is to live and thrive rather than to simply exist. When I study I feel alive. That’s my motivation 🖤Xx
My main motivation for studying is the self-growth that comes with learning. I have a full-time job, but decided to start studying again in September - purely for fun and because I wanted to expand my horizons, because I already have a degree. My main source of motivations definitely is intrinsic.
My motivation comes from seeing people who aren't able to do so and really realising what a privilege education is and how life-changing it can be. I've always had a passion for helping people even with the smallest things and I believe knowledge is always a step in the right direction
I used to wear beats wireless headphones as well but because I am a daily glasses wearer and cannot go about my day without them, as well as an avid video gamer and music enjoyer, I tend to wear headphones for almost 20 hours a day daily. The beats I could only wear for about 2-3 hours and then get a headache for a few hours. I currently wear sony WH-1000XM4 headphones and I never get headaches. I sometimes even fall asleep with the headphones and my glasses on. After about 2-3 minutes they also automatically turn off on their own. Its a high recommendation I give to all my friends.
My main motivation for studying is that I really want to learn and understand how things work. I’ve always been asking questions about everything, and being at Uni and having access to journals and books and all that has offered me so many opportunities. And I want to learn how to learn so that I can continue to grow and hopefully help others as well :)
Loved this video Ruby!! My motivation for studying has to be myself. I want to make myself proud of how far I’ve accomplished, also being born at 25weeks old I’m also at a miracle baby so the fact that I’m alive is almost enough motivation to try my best too! 🤍🤍❄️
Hi Ruby: This was incredibly useful. As a mom to two secondary students I’ve been working on making sure to get good quality but also extremely worthwhile products for them that are durable and, whenever possible, more long term sustainable than simply ones you have to constantly replace. Of course most products are not anywhere near as environmentally friendly as we would all wish so long term use is the next best choice. It is thanks to your previous reviews I was able to steer clear of some expensive choices the children had considered and I can’t agree more with being intentional when purchasing expensive items such a electronic notebooks vs tablets vs laptops. We enjoy your Pumpkin Productivity products as well and look forward to the Yearly Planners release. 🤗 🌹 and the kiddos
loved how honest you were in the video!!!! really needed. also just a thing about windows system: it does have a similar thing to what you showed about screenshooting a picture and drag. i dont know the name in english but it has an app that its icon is a scissor and you can just click in it and when it opens click in "new" and you can screenshot the whole screen or just select a piece and then you can ctrl V the picture in anywhere you want!
The main reason for me studding signlanguage is so that those who have no hearing & or voice who come to my shop can order a drink without feeling misunderstood. A little kindness for the deaf. Love you ruby
This is so lovely Thomas! Could you send me an email at rubygrangercontact@gmail.com and let me know your address so I can send you out a yearly planner 😇x
While wanting to be successful and achieve my dream career as a zoologist is definitely a strong form of motivation, honestly I mainly want to do well for myself. I remember the feeling of disappointment after not trying at all for GCSEs and by trying my best in my current studies to never have to feel that way again❤️
For people who like to write digitally but only have a laptop, I strongly recommend buying a Wacom writing pad. They connect to the computer seamlessly and it is quite budget friendly. I use it basically every day for writing equations in my laptop
My main motivation for studying comes from this Lemony Snicket quote: "They say in every library there is a single book that can answer the question that burns like a fire in the mind." - Therefore I feel like the more I study, the closer I am to finding that answer.
Great video Ruby
I mean that's just how the story goes
Omg I LOVE Lemony Snicket! Some of my favorite books! 💛💛💛
Another lemony quote: “I like to think that a library is like an island in a vast sea of ignorance. Particularly if the library is tall and the surrounding area has been flooded.”
Omfg Lemony Snicket is my idol🥺🍋
Lol for me it’s the more I study the more I find out how many things I don’t know
So, I have do defend the muji pens, for there is one use-case where they are actually the best (but still not worth the hype): At my university you are allowed to take one page of handwritten notes into your exams and there is nothing that can beat the .38 muji pen there. They don't smudge and I can write up to three lines in one grid without losing the ability to read them afterwards. I have been using the .4 Pilot G-TEC-C4 before and mujis are simply a bit better.
I don’t know if they still do them, but Muji used to offer a .25 mm gel pen that is even better for those handwritten Formular sheets as they’re noticeably thinner than the .38 mm ones.
I love the .38 muji pen. I use them all the time.
Have you tried the 0.38 pilot G2? It doesn't skip at all like the G-TECs and it's also very fine. Super basic, I know, but it's also a great option that's commonly available.
Really? I've been a devote Muji fan but I recently discovered the G-Tec-C4 and honestly I'm hooked. I feel like I can just write faster with it.
@@funcisco Maybe it's just an issue I had; I also often switched between writing in script for notes and in print for equations so that might have contributed to it not working well for me.
My main motivation for studying is: "If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If broken by an inside force, life begins. Great things always begin from inside and are not forced." Lóve this videó so much!
love your quote!
So inspiring!
My motivation for studying:
"Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do." -Pelé
I love that quote Emily 💕
I LOOOOOOVE my Remarkable. I’ve had mine for almost 4 years and I couldn’t live without it. I like that I can’t do anything but write on it. I appreciate that it’s “off the grid” during a time when we’re constantly surrounded by tech. I feel like I can be more creative. Plus, I can easily store all my school notes.
I am becoming more and more obsessed with mine! It just doesn't feel like technology at all and you're right about it letting you be more creative... I've been using it for creative writing and just love it. Do you use the feature which lets you convert your handwriting to typed words? I haven't but was wondering if that's something you ever found useful? x
@@RubyGranger8 Yes, I do use it! The main reason I got the Remarkable is because I like to write fiction by hand but hate having to retype it all. It’s not always a perfect match but you write much neater than I do, so I bet it would work better for you. I also write in cursive most of the time and it even does about 95% correct conversion with my cursive.
Oh yesssss
The Remarkable reminds me of using an iPod or DAPs. Like you want to listen to music without being distracted by notifications
I am getting convinced. I like the way that it limits me to reading, annotating and writing. But I love colors too.
For mildliners: I don't think they are overhyped at all too. The colours are beautiful and i had them for almost 3 years (the same ones) and only after 3 years they stopped working, however, I should mention that i was using them daily for taking notes and doodles in my bullet journal. Honestly, if I had to select only one markers to have for the rest of my life, mildliners would be my first choice!
Mine finished after a few months and I didn’t even use them much 😅
@@nishachhetri oh but how did that happen for one person the product lasts for years and for the other person for months ???
@@nishachhetri omg samee and everytime I buy the same thing happens!!! I feel that it is too expensive and not good because the tip is super hard and not even good for highlighting:(( it keeps on bleeding when on paper for some reason😭😭😭😭
I also really like them but because they are only available on Amazon and are shipped from I think it was Japan, it did hurt a lot to pay so much for shipping and also on top of that an additional 15€ for oversea shipping. Shipping nearly did cost as much as the mildliners themselves.
So although I really do like them a lot and I use them everyday (for me they are nearly everything I could want in a highlighter) I probably wouldn't buy them again. But if I could purchase them here in a shop I would definitely buy them again.
I have been using mine now for 3 months and I do hope that they will last.
Well, they do smudge lot’s, but the colors are nice 👍
I'm 32 and I *finally* just started university - psychology! So my motivation to study is that I want to be the change I'd like to see in the world and give back all the good psychologists gave me during all these years :)
(I was convinced I did not need the Remarkable but now I'm not so sure, it looks so pretty and useful! I like that it has no notifications nor other distracting features as well, it's starting to look way too tempting)
its worth it!
good luck on your course :)
I had it but it wasn’t worth it for me for the price
good luck! i hope you will do well
The thing about the notifications is that you can turn off notifications while studying if you don’t want them, for example all apple products on mostly recent updates have Do Not Disturb mode the remarkable does one less thing than what the iPad can do so would justify that price point even less

I totally agree with you. All of those things are nice to have but when it comes down to it the only thing you need is a laptop. I personally prefer the MacBook (had another computer before) but I believe it is very much dependent on your preferences and your other devices. :)
It's so easy to get caught up thinking that we need all of these things to study (and I'm not going to pretend I'm not guilty of that because, as you can see, I have a lot of these products) -- but hard work, focus and motivation (plus a laptop) is what you really need x
Exactly. As time went on I even got rid of more and more as a student. I stopped using special paper or notebooks and used plain, the cheapest I could find, notebooks. During my time as a student the biggest game changer was an extra monitor to use with my laptop when writing at home. Buying a good keyboard and mouse can also make a huge difference. Getting those documents up on a bigger screen makes a huge difference and doing research online is more efficient and a monitor doesn't have to be expensive at all.
Just incase someone was looking for a cheaper alternative to the Remarkable -
I was looking into buying a Remarkable (because it honestly seems incredible), but the price was just so far out of my budget it was almost laughable. I ended up getting something called a Boox. They have few different models, some of which cost the same as a Remarkable but some that cost hundreds of dollars less. I got their cheapest one, which is obviously less advanced than the more recent/expensive models, but all of the key selling features remain the same (it feels like paper and basically functions as an e-book - e-notebook combo). I've been using it for over a year now for both reading and writing and I really do love it.
My only critic is how easily worn out the pen nibs are. I am quite a heavy writer, but the pad comes with multiple spare nibs, which suggests to me that they are expected to be worn down.
thank you actually!
You're a lifesaver!
Oh, thank you for advice!
I'm trying to heal my relationship to studying and my motivation for it in general because I had a bad experience in uni where it was normal for the professors to treat the students poorly, so I'm reading what y'all wrote 💗
Fundamentally, if writing on paper is your thing, why not simply write on paper? I love to sketch on real paper, loose and notebooks, for there's something about it that feels in touch with artists and students of yore. That being said, it's useful to have your appraisals of these products, Ruby. Hopefully there'll be students and professionals who'll find this helpful!
It depends I guess. For some people it’s storage. I personally prefer writing on actual paper, and most of my notes are on actual paper notebooks, but some classes utilize power points and I find it easier to download them unto my iPad, annotate them there, then rewrite them on paper. I also use the iPad instead of a notebook on classes that are not very extensive in note taking and may require me to move info around, but any major studying has me rewrite them on actual paper as nothing really beats the feel of real paper for me. It’s also satisfying to flip through all my notes at the end of the semester.
i think that for some people it's just the fact that you can always have your info on you but also the environmental side of preserving trees and production waste. on the other side, you can always recycle paper so i personally also dont really see the hype esp if you dont have the money for the tablets
because if I loose my notes they are useless + carrying thick binders of paper with you everywhere hurts my back
For me it's like, I go through so many notebooks that it almost feels illegal??? Like, I feel bad for essentially wasting so much paper, that this does seem like a great alternative
@@kd1330 same with real paper I‘m always scared to write big because it feels like a waste of paper and I also never find the stuff I wrote again 😅
Edit: My motivation to study comes from me wanting to push myself intellectually and grow as a person. Throughout these past few years, as I have been in University, I feel as though I have drastically changed in terms of the way in which I think about things and thus, have become a more confident version of myself. Through studying, I hope to facilitate this growth in both areas of my life.
P.S. I am sorry for not inserting this comment earlier. This is something that I wanted to reflect upon as I was studying so that I could give a genuine answer to your question. Even if I don't win the giveaway, I feel as though this question has allowed me to view things in a different light, and for that I am thankful.
I love this video!! I have always been curious as to what products you use, and I appreciate that you have decided to give an honest review of them. I would love to see a similar video regarding study techniques such as the Pomodoro, active recall, and so on. I hope that all is well, and thanks again for another wonderful video!
That's such a good video idea! I can definitely film that in the new year! Because there are definitely study methods (like Pomodoro) which I don't like at all x
Yes to this idea! ❣️
@@RubyGranger8 I am glad that you are considering filming it! I think that it could be a useful video to introduce people to basic studying techniques and show them the pros and cons of each one (like you did with this video). Personally, I find the Pomodoro technique useful depending on the task that I am doing. For instance, I find it useful for reading assignments, but I don't like using it when I am writing essays.
My motivation for studying: I am a medical student and I want to be able to save lives of the people whose loved ones put their trust in me. I want to be so good at what I do that I am able to look at a patient, and tell them that they are going to be alright.❤
Love your content, Ruby, keep going!✨
My most motivating idea when studying on most days is peace of mind. That 1 hour today reduces stress for me in the future. That I am helping myself by studying regularly, both in the near future and the long run! Loved the video, have a wonderful day y'all
The giveaway question was so personal to me because I never needed a reason to study, I did it because I had exams and it was part of the system. But now I realize the importance of having motivation so I thought long and hard about it a few weeks ago, and my motivation is just knowing stuff. So many people spent a huge chunk of their lives to find the answer to a questions, to do research. So many people have written their advice and life experiences in books and papers. There is infinite amount knowledge we can get get and educate ourselves. And this very knowledge is such a gift, once you make it yours no one can take it away from you! it can be used to improve lives, help others, improve the environment, discover and invent new things and so much more. For me studying has always been a chore which I dread, but while writing this I realize how much I actually enjoy the process. I love learning just for the sake of it, to feed my curious mind and help it to grow. Learning really does bring us joy. I've always disliked the idea of doing something so you can capitalize it later instead of truly enjoying the process. I hope that this fire for learning always grows in all us!
edit- I have a tip for all those who want to have digital handwritten notes without an iPad, you can use a graphic tablet which is soo much cheaper and you can connect it to your laptop without having to look down straining your neck. I can't recommend it enough! it is such a good alternative 😄 you can also use it for art
I agree with you! I have nearly the same mindset
the graphic tablet is like an ipad? or any other tablet?
7:07 would definitely love to see a video on how you use your iPad for studying!
My motivation for studying is to help change the world and help those in need. I might not be studying anything academic, and I don't know how much pride there is in studying to become a nurse. But I want to be one hell of a nurse, when I finish. I'm taking my education in Denmark, but the fact that my education is in many cases a one way ticket to different countries is also a motivation. That's what studying can do, bring possibilities. No matter what you study, it can truly open doors for us.
My number one motivation for studying is that knowledge is the gateway to communing with the great minds of generations before. Through gaining knowledge and studying great works I am gaining access into the great conversation that has been going on for thousands of years, and that is exciting and energizing!
My motivation for studying is purely learning as much as I can about any subject. I find it so invigorating when I can adapt what I have learnt to my daily life and being able to sit in an exam knowing every single question because I was so intrigued by everything I have just consumed from studying. Personally I have dyslexia which can make study really challenging sometimes. However over coming those difficulties and seeing my full potential makes studying all that more satisfying. Ultimately I feel that given the opportunity to study is such a privilege, so I want to ensure that I make the most of every second :)
My main motivation for studying is myself, learning, and the fact that by studying I can expand my knowledge infinitely. I am still in middle school but I have found such a joy for learning. I know that when I am older, I really want to be a doctor and it brings me so much joy helping others like my siblings love to study and learn. When I study further, I learn so much more than I would have and overall, I feel really proud of myself. I love being a role model for others and helping people around me. Ever since I have watched your channel you have motivated me so much and have been a really big role model. I love your style and you have really helped me build my confidence. I hope you see this and have a happy holidays! Thank you!
As a psycologhy student, my main motivation to study is to be able to help people to live their best lives. I love helping people, I always did, since I was a little kid. I am very conscious of my priviledge for being able to study what I love and what I feel passion about. Thanks Ruby for motivate me!
My main study motivation was at first to get good grades to get into the schools I wanted but now as I’m only studying a singer/songwriter program my heart sincerely beats for I do it to learn and grow as an artist and musician. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for almost two years now and it wasn’t until the dawn of this academic year that I truly began to understand your whole study philosophy and how life really changes for the better once you choose to follow love. I didn’t even intend for this comment to be this long and I suppose that in a way shows it.
In other words my motivation is ❤️
I do love how you keep things open and honest as opposed to simply promoting them ❤️
My main motivation for studying is so that I can build a better future for myself-- not only open doors, but to grow as a person and use this growth to live a happy, focused life. I've found that studying in any form-- whether it be studying for a university test, studying a language or studying a book in more depth, I always learn something new and think about the world in different perspectives and it is such a lovely feeling. You've also helped me appreciate it a lot more and I truly enjoy the person I am when I am studying.
Thanks for this giveaway and loved the video!
I honestly haven't felt that motivated for studying lately, but whenever i do it's mainly because of the fact that i really like learning and expanding my knowledge. I know it has so many advantages for myself later, which really helps with the motivation.
My motivation for studying:
I just love learning and its what makes me feel happiest especially when im stressed out. A good study session just makes me feel calm and at peace.
I love how you decorated your room, but thank you so much for your honesty about reviewing these products. I've used something similar to the paperlike and your pencil tip does wear out over extended use. This video was very lovely and I appreciate your thoughts on these products! I hope you have a lovely day!
My main motivation for studying is honestly studytubers/studygram. I get motivation just by watching time lapses of people studying and it makes me want to study too. I also make time lapses of me studying when I don’t want to go on my phone because it’s satisfying to see a 50 second time lapse of me doing work. I’ve been watching ruby since middle school and I’m now a freshman in University.
I love that you've released a yearly planner because now I can use it in New Zealand for my school year. My one main motivation for studying is to explore different fields and find answers to things I've always been curious about❤
A video about how you use your tablet for studying would be so helpful! I'd love to see one :)
Your voice is literally soooo soothing!!!!!
My main motivation is to gather as much knowledge as possible, so I can spread it further and share my love for the theatre with other people. I would love them to be more confident going to the theatre or opera, having fun, and experiencing those wonderful feelings that I experience almost every time I go and see a play💕
My motivation for studying is my dream to become knowledgeable in many different fields, not only in the one that I'm studying in Uni. For example, I love reading and studying chess in my free time. Thanks for the video, Ruby!
i think my number one motivation for studying has always been the instant gratification i get from setting a task and then doing it successfully as i planned, it really gives you a sense of control and mindfulness that nothing else can get you. Also, it’s soooo refreshing to actually see someone review the paperlike so honestly.
this is definitely my comfort channel. so calm and motivating at the same time.
To be honest: My main motivation for studying is the fact that I really wanna finish off university and become a lawyer. I wish, that I could enjoy the process of studying itself more and be less of a procrastinator 😅but I'm working on it and your videos are really helpful with this! Thank you so much Ruby!
Hi ruby ! please make a video on how you use your iPad for studying :D eg: what apps you use to read and annotate PDFs, what apps you use for note taking/mindmaps etc ! thanks ♡
15:47 You literally just transported me to my childhood. The nostalgia!
growing up with stabilo fineliners....love them. u get used to those ink feeling and it is such an aesthetic
My motivation for studying is myself. 2 years ago I could never have imagined that I would be in school, so every time I take a test - no matter the result, I’m always proud of myself
My main motivation for studying learning, understanding and connecting as much knowledge and ideas as i can! I have always been very curious, doing my own research on topics i find interesting. And what i enjoy the most is when i finally understand a subject deeply enough to see the correlations between different topics, how you get from point A to point B, and eventually, have my own ideas and relate them to the content i know! It's always so exciting to make a deduction or a reasoning and see that you are right, that you have connected the info properly!
I love my paperlike screen protector, it makes taking notes so much more pleasant. I also haven’t needed to replace my Apple Pencil tip after using if for years
my main motivation for studying is to help people. i like the feeling that comes with knowing something, and being able to help someone else understand it as well! i also study so I can do what I want later. i either want to be a psychologist, specifically a mental health therapist if possible, or a librarian. two very different occupations, but I know both would bring me joy. it's a lot of work, so I have to study and do well now!
i really liked today's video!
I have a Kanken and a Kanken mini. Use the as purses. Last forever. Holds a lot. LOVE THEM! ❤️🎒❤️
My number one main reason for studying is the result. I feel so proud after a study session because I’ve done something for my present self but also for my future self. You are my favorite TH-camr and also a big motivation for studying. I hope you are doing well and stay safe
A tip for some people that are planning to get a laptop because your school/university requires it but still wants to write notes by hand and draw you can always buy a laptop that has touch screen and if it doesn’t have a pen included you can buy a stylus or something similar to the Apple Pencil as a alternative
My number one motivation to study is the fact that I want to be able to help people and by following my dream career, I can do that actively every single day. Love your videos!!
My main motivation for studying is to better myself and develop a better perspective on the world. Learning about the world deepens my understanding and allows me to contribute to society in better ways (teaching, sharing knowledge, etc.).
My motivation for studying comes from my hope to be a better person than I was previously. I don't have a concrete definition of what better is other than it being denoted by the effort I put in and the fulfillment I get out of each day. I feel uncertain about my future at times, so what better use of my time than to focus on what I can do in the moment! And lovely video, I appreciate the honesty you show in your review.
My motivation for studying comes from different sources, sometimes it is just the pure joy from learning something new, sometimes it is the praise and success that is connected to studying (yes, I know very well this isn't a healthy one, but let's be honest, this sometimes is a source of motivation for almost all of us), and from time to time the motivation doesn't come at all. But I am trying my best to stay healthily motivated instead of being overly motivated and then becoming burnt out, which used to happen to me quite often in the past..
My main motivation for studying is using the Pomodoro method, since I can concentrate for just a period of time. However, sometimes I go onto the next pomodoro session without a break because I would be in the “flow”. I am a big fan of your channel, and have seen a whole lot more productivity in my life since watching.
I’d also recommend the “Exam Study Expert” podcast to people, as there is a lot of good tips there as well!
I study to keep my brain busy and to keep myself occupied! I always need balance in my life, and a big part of that for me is studying alongside everything else I do
I study biology and the amount of things I have to learn is quite overwhelming sometimes but in those moments of crisis I remind myself why I chose it and the answer is to help to save the world that we live in. So my main motivation for studying is actually Nature and all the wonderfull creatures that surround us beacuse even though I have moments of a complete breakdown when I see what's happening to the world I still somehow have faith that we can still save the world and be kind to Nature and each other.
Also thank you Ruby for spreading the message of how important kindness is. I truly believe people like you are the blessing of this world and make it a better place ♥
My main motivation for my studies is to help children aged 12 to 17 with their personal development but also with their historical skills, because I study to become a history teacher in the Netherlands.
I am now doing a university master for history teacher. Your tips and videos have already helped me so much in my studies. So thank you for that!
With lots of love from the Netherlands- Tessa ;)
My study motivation: candles!
I’d always see you lighting a candle and one day just decided to do the same, now i literally cannot study without lighting one. I’m quite the night owl and my motivation spikes the highest in evenings, so they look even more lovely with the surrounding darkness. Especially during fall/winter times when it gets dark earlier, I can never resist it. Thank you for the inspiration :)
I know, this may sound kinda weird but it is really interesting to see which people stand behind the content I'm learning. When I learn, I love reading biographies of the scientist who founded the content I'm learning, the writer of a book I'm reading for school, important people in the history and so on... It is just really interesting to see, how genius, creative and special all those people were. It's just nice, to appreciate it and it makes me also really curious.
my motivation to study for now, is to enjoy studying! I am currently just declared my major and I loved it. I feel very excited for my classes and learning new things. It is just the feeling of learning what you like and find it interesting really pushes and motivates me☺️
My motivation to study: my parents. They emigrated from Albania to give me the opportunity to have a better future. The only means to thank them for their sacrifice and to really have the future they dream for me is studying and gaining it through hard work.
Thank you for this opportunity, I really love your products
To be todally honest, my main motivation for studying is learning to fall in love with studying again. I am in my first semester of uni and used to attend a very advanced highschool for my A levels and a very strict elementary school. The whole school system does not fit my way of living and learning at all. But due to that and also some mental health issues it is actually extremely difficult for me to be motivated or even to enjoy studying. But I want to improve my relationship with studying again because I know that studying and education is actually such a privilege, such a great oppertunity and also it can be so much fun. I remember how much I liked learning before I went to school. So this is my main motivation to study and to learn, to love to study and to learn. And it still is a challenge every day. But thanks so much for your videos Ruby! You and other studytubers really help me to fix my motivation!
ive had my mildliners for 3 years now and they still work theyre so great
My main inspiration to study is that I really want to gain new knowledge and understand the things I once found confusing. I'm really motivated by the progress I see in my knowledge as I study and especially when I can finally understand something I found confusing before! Thank you for your videos Ruby x
My main motivation for studying is personal growth. :)
Right now, I'm looking to change career path, but I think even in the future I don't want to ever stop studying! I find it so inspiring to learn new things and challenge myself.
My main motivation for studying is the fact that no matter how much you learn, there’s always something more to discover! It’s an endless journey which helps you develop as a character and I find that the more I study and learn, the more motivated I am to explore this world further 💙
Honestly, my current motivation to study comes from genuine wish to learn and improve myself. It's been years since I graduated from high school, and after losing the right timing to go to university and getting hit by life again and again, I just stopped studying. But this summer, out of nowhere, I had this random but extremely strong motivation to study and get into a university to major in my dream major. So now I study daily, and I have this giddiness inside me. It's so different - I'm happy to study and learn ^^
My main motivation for studying is enjoying what I do! Learning brings me so much joy and I love learning about things that I'm interested about!
My motivation for studying is that I loved nothing more than being in school, and now university, learning everyday. I want to continue learning for the rest of my life, so studying helps me to achieve my academic goals that will allow me to continue in education
Studying is no pleasure, but learning can be. My main motivation to study is learning, not only the subjects I am studying but to learn about my self. Self-discipline is one of the hardest things to archive, and I have found that being constant in my studying is helping me getting there. The feeling that I can become that person just keeps me going :)
I am sorry if there are any grammar or spelling mistakes... English is not my first language
My motivation for studying:
"It always seems impossible, until it's done" - Nelson Mandela
I absolutely love this quote because it reminds me that if I am having trouble doing certain schoolwork, or finishing homework, I know that it has been done, so I will be able to find an answer and work through it
My 1# motivation for studying is to have a happy future for myself and know that I’m waking up every day to what I love to do. I also want make my parents proud and be the first in my family with a successful job. What I do to keep myself organized is using a planner to keep up with deadlines making sure I finish before it’s due.
My #1 motivation for studying is that the knowledge it gives me enhances all other aspects of my life - family, friends, food, art… and I also know that after studying, I will have time to do the things I enjoy, like reading and playing piano. :)
Hey Ruby!! My main motivation is honestly you. Whenever I lack in motivation, my number one boost is watching your videos. The way you romanticise school and studying is amazing. Thanks for uploading rubes xx :)
My main motivation for studying is being dyslexic, finding ways around it and how my brain best learns and picks things up, wanting to grow and learn more, My father taught me it doesn't matter where you come from, how much you have or how rich or poor you are, knowledge is something that can never be taken away a quote I think about a lot comes from Doctor Who. “ You want weapons? We're in a library. Books are the best weapon in the world. This room's the greatest arsenal we could have. Arm yourself Great Video Ruby xx
My main motivation for studying is : "good things come to those who work really hard" . I'm still at school and I want to use this time where I can learn so many things for life. I also like the quote "Do what you can't do and soon you will be able to do it".
I would say my main motivation for studying is that I can help others with my knowledge. That may sound weird, but It's true! I have always liked to learn new things and even though there are some boring topics, my subjects are often very interesting. Because I study every day, my friends often come to me if they need advice. That can be advice on how to study effectively or some extra help on a topic. I love that I can help others with something I also like!
😄
This a great video especially for first year collage students that might be intimidated by all the study related social media! You did an amazing job!
Just in case anyone is interested I would like to mention the feature with the screen shots inserted in documents is not actually Apple exclusive. Every operation system has a version of it and also a version of air drop. It's just that Windows works with Android (in my case Samsung). I hope that helps :)
My main motivation for studying is to learn as much new information as physically possible. I've always loved learning and could honestly spend the rest of my life hunkered away filling my brain with new information about the world around me. I love nearly every subject and consume a near obsessive amount of books/media on various subjects (often at my own detriment when I very well should focus my attention on more important matters haha). Because of this, I'm studying to be a doctor, since it is a field in which you never stop learning (and requires a lot of schooling which I also enjoy). Overall, I generally enjoy studying and continue to do so as a means of expanding my horizons and perceptions. I just can't seem to turn my brain off 😂
My main motivation for studying is my family. I will always be thankful for what they've done for me and that I can study thanks to them ❤
As someone who bought the iPad Pro - I am seriously regretting it. There was a design flaw in the 10.5 inch models which causes a huge white patch to form about an inch above the home button. You made the right decision in choosing the normal iPad!
my main motivation for studying is knowing that if i work hard and put in the effort i'll be able to help so many people with my knowledge (i want to be a neuroscientist) just knowing that i could be the reason someone gets to live their life is so so motivating and i love it 💓
My main motivation for studying is the feeling of 'understating' a subject, when it clicks and makes sense, that feeling is such a high! And then of course when I get to explain it to others in simple terms!
My main motivation for studying is for satisfying my curiosity. I love learning new things while in class and later going home and doing additional research because new questions popped into my mind. I also adore signing up for online courses and masterclasses where I can study subjects that are not offered by my program and pick skills that will help my career or overall life:)
My main motivation for studying is that you become a new person with every drop of knowledge you get. You are also so privileged if you are able to drink from this well. It might be difficult to bring up water but it is worth it if you can water your soul, mind and body. 🌷 Ruby, your stationary is so aesthetic. I could never. Loved the video as well. I have always wanted a Kanken but it is just a little expensive for me at the moment. Hope you also have a lovely week at uni. 🤗
I absolutely adore the mildliners, they’re my staple stationary. 😍Main motivation had got to be…. Having a constant reminder of what I’m working towards, weather that’s a mood board that visible whilst I work or just a ambience playing that sounds like my path (so I want to go into criminology so I play office sounds, maybe some city towns as well)
I've been thinking about getting some noise cancelling headphones so this video was very helpful in that regard.
My motivation for studying, besides wanting to graduate college, is just that I believe strongly in continued learning. I don't think we should ever stop learning and studying even after we're done with school.
My Motivation for studying is making the most of my opportunities. My time at university is limited (and the time I have per week to study is limited, too), so trying to make the most of it motivates me.
my main motivation for studying is knowing that after I graduate and I get to put my degree to use it will be worth it! I study medicine and it can feel so long at times but pushing myself to learn more and questioning the way everything works has helped me so much. Also, the satisfaction when you get your head around something difficult is unmatched!!!!!
My number one main motivation for studying is that with everything I learn, with every book I read and with every golden nugget of information I feel my soul becoming more and more alive.
I feel connected to the world to the present, to the past and to other people.
The books I study come to life, historical events are tantalisingly tangible and the building of knowledge makes me feel as though I’m building an empire of tools that I can utilise for the rest of my life.
To learn and to study is to live and thrive rather than to simply exist. When I study I feel alive. That’s my motivation 🖤Xx
My main motivation for studying is the self-growth that comes with learning. I have a full-time job, but decided to start studying again in September - purely for fun and because I wanted to expand my horizons, because I already have a degree. My main source of motivations definitely is intrinsic.
My motivation comes from seeing people who aren't able to do so and really realising what a privilege education is and how life-changing it can be. I've always had a passion for helping people even with the smallest things and I believe knowledge is always a step in the right direction
I used to wear beats wireless headphones as well but because I am a daily glasses wearer and cannot go about my day without them, as well as an avid video gamer and music enjoyer, I tend to wear headphones for almost 20 hours a day daily. The beats I could only wear for about 2-3 hours and then get a headache for a few hours. I currently wear sony WH-1000XM4 headphones and I never get headaches. I sometimes even fall asleep with the headphones and my glasses on. After about 2-3 minutes they also automatically turn off on their own. Its a high recommendation I give to all my friends.
My main motivation for studying is that I really want to learn and understand how things work. I’ve always been asking questions about everything, and being at Uni and having access to journals and books and all that has offered me so many opportunities. And I want to learn how to learn so that I can continue to grow and hopefully help others as well :)
Loved this video Ruby!! My motivation for studying has to be myself. I want to make myself proud of how far I’ve accomplished, also being born at 25weeks old I’m also at a miracle baby so the fact that I’m alive is almost enough motivation to try my best too! 🤍🤍❄️
❤❤❤ I love this comment!
I really like your honesty about this supplies and pleas do how to take digital notes on ipad ❤️❤️
Hi Ruby:
This was incredibly useful. As a mom to two secondary students I’ve been working on making sure to get good quality but also extremely worthwhile products for them that are durable and, whenever possible, more long term sustainable than simply ones you have to constantly replace. Of course most products are not anywhere near as environmentally friendly as we would all wish so long term use is the next best choice.
It is thanks to your previous reviews I was able to steer clear of some expensive choices the children had considered and I can’t agree more with being intentional when purchasing expensive items such a electronic notebooks vs tablets vs laptops.
We enjoy your Pumpkin Productivity products as well and look forward to the Yearly Planners release.
🤗
🌹 and the kiddos
loved how honest you were in the video!!!! really needed. also just a thing about windows system: it does have a similar thing to what you showed about screenshooting a picture and drag. i dont know the name in english but it has an app that its icon is a scissor and you can just click in it and when it opens click in "new" and you can screenshot the whole screen or just select a piece and then you can ctrl V the picture in anywhere you want!
Mildliners are worth it! Cute colours and don't bleed through. I like to annotate my books for fun so they're perfect for that
The main reason for me studding signlanguage is so that those who have no hearing & or voice who come to my shop can order a drink without feeling misunderstood. A little kindness for the deaf. Love you ruby
This is so lovely Thomas! Could you send me an email at rubygrangercontact@gmail.com and let me know your address so I can send you out a yearly planner 😇x
While wanting to be successful and achieve my dream career as a zoologist is definitely a strong form of motivation, honestly I mainly want to do well for myself. I remember the feeling of disappointment after not trying at all for GCSEs and by trying my best in my current studies to never have to feel that way again❤️
For people who like to write digitally but only have a laptop, I strongly recommend buying a Wacom writing pad. They connect to the computer seamlessly and it is quite budget friendly. I use it basically every day for writing equations in my laptop
