It’s so refreshing to see students who actually care about their classes and what they study. Even just the little things like having a discussion before class to prepare. I grew up with kids who never cared, it’s not their fault, it was our culture to hate any sort of studying. I even dropped from college cause I was doing everyone’s work and nobody cared. If I had had classmates like you I would have like a doctorate already haha Thank you for sharing your life with us!
It's such a shame that there can be a culture of this. Because you're right, being surrounded by motivated students can help to motivate you too. I second Esivger's lovely comment and encourage you to follow your dreams x
I feel you! Similar situation at my uni. :( fortunately, we do not have that many group projects and stuff. But it‘s super annoying and frustrating when students do not seem to care about their subject 😔
I feel you! I have always loved studying but when I was 15 I surrounded myself with people who hated studying. I lost a few good years just procrastinating until I could regain that love back. But it has never been the same. I'm glad to see her loving the process of studying. Her videos motivate me so much to be serious with my language learning and all other goals
Ruby, would you consider doing a Little Women themed morning/day/night routine during the holidays when you're home for break? I just think it would be so cozy. Little women is just so Christmasy.
Coming home to this after an exhausting day at uni (3rd year is so much more stressful!!) has made me so happy!! Your videos always make me feel so calm and relaxed!!
I struggled with getting out of bed this morning. This video motivated me to be curious about the things that will come today and eventually get up. Thank you, Ruby!
That's just it -- we have to try and get excited about something when we're lying in bed in the morning. I used to put up a sign above my bed with my classes that day when I was at school because it would motivate me to get up haha!!
@@RubyGranger8 haha, that's cute! At the moment I don't have a lot to get excited about because I have very tough working days, but I still try to find the beauty in the little things. Thanks for your reply, it made my day a bit brighter :)
Your videos are the perfect thing to watch in between study sessions. In previous videos, you showed how you use Notion and I've adapted my notes and it really helps! I love all of your videos
I love weekly routines! I don’t know what it is about them but I think it’s probably because they give a much more realistic and full idea of how people spend their time. Everyday is so vastly different so daily routines never seem to quite capture the the typical way one spends a day.
Such a treat to have a whole week of you! I also feel so happy to see your friendship with Blakeney (am I spelling her name correctly?). It’s so nice to have close friends around you c: your energy together is so nice. Have a great week, Ruby!
A little tip to help you leave for lectures on time, set a leave alarm and one 10 minutes before the time you want to leave as a warning. It has worked really well for me for both lectures and getting to my healthcare placements on time.
Hi Ruby: This was another very lovely vlog of your week. It reflects so well just how much work and effort you put in to everything but especially how much work goes on behind the scenes to make each of these videos whilst also being a full time student, an independent adult and a good friend as well. Thank you for sharing it with us. Btw: Loved seeing Taz’s book with you. She is another incredible young woman who the children and I adore. Her poetry comes from her lived experiences as well, which make them an intimate conversation with the reader as well. Lovely video. Hope the launch was super successful as well. With Love, 🌹 and the gang
Thank you Rose -- as always, your comment is so kind. These videos do take time but I love making them and wouldn't have it any other way! And Taz is just wonderful! I respect her and her work so so much 🥺
Ruby, you are just so consistent with everything you do. I am very much an admirer of that. I can’t stick with a routine as I would like. This was a great vlog. Thank you for sharing!
I am 30 years old and started two years ago a bachalor, because I never had the opportunity. It was real hard to be in class again, but your videos always made me super motivated! So everytime I have a deadline and really don't feel like working on it, I watch your video. The first year I completed the propaedeutic exam succesfully and I am so happy about this, you really helped me! Thank you Ruby!
Damn, watching this made me so glad I finished highschool this summer and decided to work instead of going to university/college. I've never found the motivation to study and I was really bad at school. The only subject I was really good at was math, not because I studied it more or actually put some work in it, but just because it was very easy and logical for me and I always understood every new concept right of the back. My teachers often told me how much potential I had and that I was wasting it since they thought I could have gotten really good grades if I only put a minimum effort in it. It always made me feel like a failure because I felt like I was throwing away my life/future, but I couldn't help it, I just never found any motivation to study or even to do all of my homework. My teachers/parents even said that I should continue studing due to my "potential" but I didn't listen to them and I'm glad I dindn't. Since I started working I feel so much better, I find the motivation to work easily and I finally feel valued again, pretty much for the first time since I started highschool. I totaly respect everyone who studies instead and even sacrifices their freetime for it, especially cause I never could. But It's definitely not for me and I'm glad those times are over... (P.S. I'm not a native speaker, so at least I have an excuse for any stupid mistakes xD I'm not THAT uneducated xD )
If you aren’t already, lock your bike by threading the lock through the back wheel and the frame of the bike. Otherwise someone can steal your wheels and leave you with just the frame. It may not happen around Exeter but it’s a good habit to form.
I subscribed your channel two months ago and I have almost watched all of your videos... You are really a great youtuber and you share routines that are realistic ! Great Job @ Ruby , Btw... this video was outstanding!
I live in Exmouth/Exeter so I really enjoy your University videos. It is intriguing how the city looks familiar but yet different when viewed from another person’s perspective.
I started watching you a little over a year ago because I was looking for advice as a first semester during the pandemic. I loved this video , I feel like your content was a huge part of me feeling very motivated and serious about my studies, and learning to love the work. I was a middle of the road to "bad" student in secondary school and now i totally love my studies ❤ (i study english and pilosophy in the bachelor of education track). Through the pandemic i dont see many other people, but when catching up with my friends I notice how much more motivated to do well I am than them, and I think it's totally because you helped me see the joy in learning, thank you!!
This video in particular made me realize just how much time and effort you put into making these videos. Thank you for taking out the time. (P.S. I think Blaknley must have also been surprised/awed the first time she had seen u at it)
I haven’t watched you for a long time and I have stumbled back across your channel, I have to say watching this video felt like I was really watching you and not perhaps a persona or character that you might have felt you needed to portray in the past! I really enjoyed it and will be sticking around!
As a first year I have been finding this term rather draining especially socially but I always love curling up with a cup of tea and watching your videos. They give me a spark to get up and start working again and I just wanted you to know that. Also you are one of the few people I know who has such a similar style to me and film taste.
I can't help but notice here 8:42 that you have Taz's poetry book! I love seeing my favorite youtuber supporting another one of my favorite youtubers. I really want to get Taz's book for Christmas and I just saw this, so I think it's a sign for me to order one today haha. Lovely video!
Nice to see someone studying at home. My observation of university students is they would often study at cafés and areas that with high traffic and noise. Last week I walked around around my local university and the Starbucks attached to the library was the filled while the dedicated study area was nearly empty. I’m also curious as to how many university students do their own cooking versus eating out. Glad to see you making a lunch to take with even when you’re running late.
I really love to watch your vlogs as I am also a literature student in Germany (Spanish and English literature) and it is so thrilliing to see how passionate you are about your studies! It always keeps me motivated! :)
I love weekly routines and very impressed you went swimming in this weather! I've really wanted to start going again. I bought an electric blanket a couple of years ago, it's just like a normal blanket (not the type you put over your sheet), so you can have it on your bed but also wrapped around or on lap etc when studying etc. It really saved me when my heating broke! I really recommend it.
I don't know about you, but less structure makes us feel like we have SO much more free time...even though we don't, I guess that sense of freedom makes us feel less pressured and more relaxed so we do start and finish the week in a better mindset
i noticed the comment section has been more negative lately and it makes me sad. ruby, i hope you're having a good time. i wish for you to be happy and healthy. please take care. ❤️ many people have been pointing out lately that you don't look the happiest at the moment. whatever it is, i hope you will soon feel better. ✨
Unfortunately, I must agree with you. But there is still always so much support and love in the comments section and it continues to be one of my favourite spaces 💕
Dear Ruby, I watch those videos to feel good about being an introvert and studying a lot. In a century where people are praised for being extroverts, you bring me comfort and remind me of myself. I send you my warm hugs and I know you’ll accomplish everything you’ve set your mind into. Thank you!
Ruby thank you so much for doing these vlogs because I’m starting high school and seeing you keep it all together just brings me motivation and helps me keep it all together. So I just wanted to thank you. :)
Happy December 1st Ruby! I am so excited to get the 2022 planner- I bought it yesterday! I haven’t been very productive and I blame my boring, ineffective planner. Thank you so much for your amazing, inspirational content. It definitely improves my mood after I watch one of your videos. Have a great evening!
this is how student life looks when you don't have to think about money, waitrose and john lewis shops with hand made tea.....i remember mine was way different trying to live week to week....so happy that ruby has worked hard to live a privileged life.
In most of Ruby's videos, such as the one she recently posted about assumptions, you can tell how very aware she is of her privileged situation in life. She states clearly that she owes much of what she is able to have and do to that privilege. My situation is different from hers and maybe more similar to yours. What I take from her videos is less a sense of jealousy and more of an inspiration to approach life with curiosity and interest, to look for small things, and to appreciate beauty where it comes to us. I've found that this approach has made a difference in my life. Plus, I study a similar course as she does and it's so wonderful to hear someone speak about the things I too enjoy.
@@asb2923 totally agree. i'm actually really inspired by how she is running a business, making money to support herself through her studies. its actually a really attractive quality of hers. Making money, starting a business is so much easier nowadays than when i was a student as the internet is in the palm of everyones hand. But i did struggle my way through like probably so many others are so Ruby is a great role model for people to just work hard and grind with side hussles to make life easier.
I was so out of routine this month. Literally stopped making videos...not motivated to study anything. But i am trying to get better and get back on track ❤️
You said you were always running like 5 mins late TIP have an alarm clock or clock in ur room or house, and set it 5 mins earlier than the actual time atm. At first it feels time consuming - like you have to calculate the time every time you need to check it, but after the while it becomes normal, and when you think u r late, you end up being on time. Ive been doing this for years - since i was 11. HONESTLY it is soo helpful
I am in my first year at Exeter and am struggling with the pressure from my flat mates and friends to live the student lifestyle. Like going out every night and bringing people back to the flat is not my thing but I feel embarrassed that I don’t want to do that. I still go out once in a while maybe every couple of weeks but it’s just not my thing.
just some advice from an oldie here, but you do you, don't give into peer pressure. You have worked hard to get to university in the first place and while the social aspect is a part of university it is in the long run only a small part of the university experiance and you are paying a lot of money to be there to learn. Exeter isn't really a party city anyway so thats always a good excuse ;-). Otherwise I hope you are enjoying your course and the city overall!
Super random but something I have notice while watching the video! Much like me you wear a blanket around yourself a lot of the time to stay warm. I recently purchased an Oodie which is pretty much a big oversized hoodie/blanket! Would definitely recommend! It is so cosy and warm and most importantly super practical! loved the video xxx
I just received the notification for this video and I haven't watched it yet (saving it for a study break), but I just wanted to thank you for the upload!! It made my day even happier!!!
You're so productive and I think you have a good balance of school work and other commitments. All videos of yours i watched says that about you and I keep telling myself to be productive too! I struggle so much with procrastinating and whenever I bring myself to do work I easily lose focus and motivation. I think I should follow your routine until I get used to a productive lifestyle 😂😂😂
Hi Jannah! Thank you for your kind words! I definitely wouldn't recommend somebody's routine specifically, but do sit down and note down habits and things which always make you feel good when you do them. Then try and make a brief routine (start with a morning routine) and implement that x
@@RubyGranger8 that's a wonderful advice. I'll write down some good routines and implement them slowly and hopefully consistently. Thank you for your advice! ☺
I'm not sure if anyone else is commenting on the temperature of your uni house, but 12.9??? Yes, you need all the hot water bottles and mugs of tea! My first year it stayed around 17, and I thought that was cold for an indoor temp! Love all the cozy and motivational content :) Thanks for helping me stay motivated during exam season!
It is very cold haha! That's exactly why there are *so* many hot water bottles! We really need to fix the heating! And thank you so much! I hope exam season went well xx
Yes, for you own sakes, please fix the heating! 12-13 degrees is way too cold when you're sat at your desk studying. It may sound unlikely but if you're constantly exposed to these temperatures you absolutely can get hypothermia - in your own house. Blankets and hot water bottles notwithstanding. And even if it doesn't come to that, it's not good for your physical and mental health to be cold all the time and can also negatively affect your cognitive performance. The WHO recommends a temperature of at least 18 degrees for people's houses (slightly lower during nighttime). Take care of yourselves!
Yes i was confused too, cause i stay at 23 degrees in my house during winter and i still feel chilly at times. Maybe it's because i live in another country and i am not very used to cold but i have googled it and it says your house temperature should be around 20 to 23 degrees. This is a very strange comment and i don't want to be rude but please before anything make sure you stay safe and warm😊😊💕
I love your videos so so much and i literally try to do all the things that you do but well i can't to do few things because i live in India and everything here is not the same...but your videos help me get motivated before my study sessions....i watch at-least 1 of your videos before my study session so that i have the energy and motivation that you have throughout the day...so thank you so much for all these amazing videos and for making my life better Ruby.
Thank you soo much for this video I really feel.cozy wherever I watch your routine sometimes i watch them twice that what i love about your channel you are alwayse inspiring us ruby
Ooh love that Hannukah music at 10:40 (Hava Narima by Levin Kipnis). Edit: just realised he didn't come up with the music haha, just the lyrics, still people in Israel would normally associate the melody with Hannukah
Ruby I always get motivation from your videos but these days nothing can make me feel happy or hopeful I was wondering what is your goal that keeps you motivated and enthusiasted all the time ???
Only 3 months to WASEDA University(in Japan)entrance examination 😭 I want to become a WASEDA University student!!! Thanks to your movie I can study hard . Study Study Study 🥸
*You leave your refrigerator open while cooking!* Please don't do that, thats extremely bad for the climate. You see it takes a lot of energy to remove heat from a space, thats why refrigerators are well insulated, if you keep the door open then all the energy is lost causing your refrigerator to consume more energy, which eventually leads to more coal burning.
It’s so refreshing to see students who actually care about their classes and what they study. Even just the little things like having a discussion before class to prepare. I grew up with kids who never cared, it’s not their fault, it was our culture to hate any sort of studying. I even dropped from college cause I was doing everyone’s work and nobody cared. If I had had classmates like you I would have like a doctorate already haha Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Hope you never have to give up on your dreams because of other people not caring about them. Wish you an amazing life!
It's such a shame that there can be a culture of this. Because you're right, being surrounded by motivated students can help to motivate you too. I second Esivger's lovely comment and encourage you to follow your dreams x

people in the developed world don't appreciate how lucky they are to be able to have an education
Not Vegan, not a potter fan, but still feel connected to this channel for over 2 years!!!
Ruby, would you consider doing a Little Women themed morning/day/night routine during the holidays when you're home for break? I just think it would be so cozy. Little women is just so Christmasy.
may I emphasis this request pLEASE
I love the idea of this 💫
Omg yesss! 😍
What a great idea !
YES YES YES
Coming home to this after an exhausting day at uni (3rd year is so much more stressful!!) has made me so happy!! Your videos always make me feel so calm and relaxed!!
Ahh this means so much Sophie! And I hope final year is going well - I agree it's so much more stressful!
@@RubyGranger8 aww I’m so glad! It’s going really well so far, thank you, I hope it’s all going well for you too!
I totally agree with you both x
I struggled with getting out of bed this morning. This video motivated me to be curious about the things that will come today and eventually get up. Thank you, Ruby!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And I totally agree with you -- I feel so so lucky to have her in my life. She is completely and truly lovely 🥺
You've started posting consistently! That's awesome since I absolutely love your videos
Yay! Thank you! 🙈
A little tip to help you leave for lectures on time, set a leave alarm and one 10 minutes before the time you want to leave as a warning. It has worked really well for me for both lectures and getting to my healthcare placements on time.
Stealing this idea
Ruby is so organised!
She makes me feel so motivated:)
I agree! :)
Hi Ruby:

Making money, starting a business is so much easier nowadays than when i was a student as the internet is in the palm of everyones hand. But i did struggle my way through like probably so many others are so Ruby is a great role model for people to just work hard and grind with side hussles to make life easier.
She didn’t work hard to get her privilege: her privilege is her parents’ wealth.
i love these videos, i feel less lonely when i watch them. These covid times makes me feel soo isolated. :(
I'm so sorry to hear that Valla. I'm sending much love your way x
@@RubyGranger8 thank you so much and sending love to you, too!
I barely think of Ruby as a student anymore. She seems more like a sophisticated young businesswoman or author.
I admire you so much for being productive and keeping balance through your week! It’s pretty hard to achieve that.
Ruby is just perfect her videos are so unique 😊
Your videos are so wholesome to watch. Keep it up Ruby !
Thank you Tia!
Beautiful routine! The Christmas decorations are so cute. You inspire me to learn more! :)
I was so out of routine this month. Literally stopped making videos...not motivated to study anything. But i am trying to get better and get back on track ❤️
You definitely can get back on track -- but dont put too much pressure on yourself. Mental wellbeing ALWAYS comes first x
You said you were always running like 5 mins late TIP have an alarm clock or clock in ur room or house, and set it 5 mins earlier than the actual time atm. At first it feels time consuming - like you have to calculate the time every time you need to check it, but after the while it becomes normal, and when you think u r late, you end up being on time. Ive been doing this for years - since i was 11. HONESTLY it is soo helpful
I am in my first year at Exeter and am struggling with the pressure from my flat mates and friends to live the student lifestyle. Like going out every night and bringing people back to the flat is not my thing but I feel embarrassed that I don’t want to do that. I still go out once in a while maybe every couple of weeks but it’s just not my thing.
just some advice from an oldie here, but you do you, don't give into peer pressure. You have worked hard to get to university in the first place and while the social aspect is a part of university it is in the long run only a small part of the university experiance and you are paying a lot of money to be there to learn. Exeter isn't really a party city anyway so thats always a good excuse ;-).
Otherwise I hope you are enjoying your course and the city overall!
Super random but something I have notice while watching the video! Much like me you wear a blanket around yourself a lot of the time to stay warm. I recently purchased an Oodie which is pretty much a big oversized hoodie/blanket! Would definitely recommend! It is so cosy and warm and most importantly super practical! loved the video xxx
I love this video so much! It makes me really excited for back to school
I just received the notification for this video and I haven't watched it yet (saving it for a study break), but I just wanted to thank you for the upload!! It made my day even happier!!!
Your videos are so relaxing and make my heart in peace, thank you so much, and kisses from Brazil ♥
The editing is just perfect.
Its amazing how much stuff you get done
Shopping Vlog would be so much appreciated, Ruby!
This is the kind of wholesomeness I needed today. Thanks Ruby♥️
I just love your videos and the classical music in the background is so relaxing and therapeutic too. Sending love from an American soldier 💯💯🤟🏾🤟🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Wish I had friends like you who cared as much as you do about education ! :)
I was just looking for some motivational video and here it comes! Good job Rubyy
You're so productive and I think you have a good balance of school work and other commitments. All videos of yours i watched says that about you and I keep telling myself to be productive too! I struggle so much with procrastinating and whenever I bring myself to do work I easily lose focus and motivation.
I think I should follow your routine until I get used to a productive lifestyle 😂😂😂
Hi Jannah! Thank you for your kind words!
I definitely wouldn't recommend somebody's routine specifically, but do sit down and note down habits and things which always make you feel good when you do them. Then try and make a brief routine (start with a morning routine) and implement that x
@@RubyGranger8 that's a wonderful advice. I'll write down some good routines and implement them slowly and hopefully consistently.
Thank you for your advice! ☺
So many videos recently :D thank you ruby, hope you’re doing well
I'm not sure if anyone else is commenting on the temperature of your uni house, but 12.9??? Yes, you need all the hot water bottles and mugs of tea! My first year it stayed around 17, and I thought that was cold for an indoor temp!
Love all the cozy and motivational content :) Thanks for helping me stay motivated during exam season!
It is very cold haha! That's exactly why there are *so* many hot water bottles! We really need to fix the heating!
And thank you so much! I hope exam season went well xx
Yes, for you own sakes, please fix the heating! 12-13 degrees is way too cold when you're sat at your desk studying. It may sound unlikely but if you're constantly exposed to these temperatures you absolutely can get hypothermia - in your own house. Blankets and hot water bottles notwithstanding. And even if it doesn't come to that, it's not good for your physical and mental health to be cold all the time and can also negatively affect your cognitive performance. The WHO recommends a temperature of at least 18 degrees for people's houses (slightly lower during nighttime). Take care of yourselves!
Yes i was confused too, cause i stay at 23 degrees in my house during winter and i still feel chilly at times. Maybe it's because i live in another country and i am not very used to cold but i have googled it and it says your house temperature should be around 20 to 23 degrees. This is a very strange comment and i don't want to be rude but please before anything make sure you stay safe and warm😊😊💕
Ruby may you do a special video about the important points we must focus on it for a wonderful day 🙂
i love your channel sm! such great study motivation. 👍
Love your videos Ruby, you help me stay focused. Stay safe❤
I love your videos so so much and i literally try to do all the things that you do but well i can't to do few things because i live in India and everything here is not the same...but your videos help me get motivated before my study sessions....i watch at-least 1 of your videos before my study session so that i have the energy and motivation that you have throughout the day...so thank you so much for all these amazing videos and for making my life better Ruby.
Im happy to see you Ruby!

You motivate me so much. THANK YOU!

Thank you Nina!

I love your style and your dark academia taste! I find you very stylish! Amazing video, not to talk about Tchaikovsky and Harry Potter😍✨
It’s so cool to see that you’re reading Taz’s book! I don’t know why it made me so happy x)
I like you're videos ruby. They( your videos ) always inspire me .
Ooh love that Hannukah music at 10:40 (Hava Narima by Levin Kipnis). Edit: just realised he didn't come up with the music haha, just the lyrics, still people in Israel would normally associate the melody with Hannukah
I love this kind of videos by you so much!
Kudos to you for vlogging at uni!
Ruby I always get motivation from your videos but these days nothing can make me feel happy or hopeful I was wondering what is your goal that keeps you motivated and enthusiasted all the time ???
I like very much your music selections.
Your vidoes have great vibes I just love these cozy videos😍😍😍😍❤
Hope you're happy and well🌟
Only 3 months to WASEDA University(in Japan)entrance examination 😭
I want to become a WASEDA University student!!!
Thanks to your movie I can study hard .
Study Study Study 🥸
@Chiro치로 thank you 👍
*You leave your refrigerator open while cooking!* Please don't do that, thats extremely bad for the climate.
You see it takes a lot of energy to remove heat from a space, thats why refrigerators are well insulated, if you keep the door open then all the energy is lost causing your refrigerator to consume more energy, which eventually leads to more coal burning.
I really know I shouldn't and genuinely don't mean to! I have a thing about accidentally leaving doors open and need to work on it!x
@@RubyGranger8 wow ruby you got some smart people in the comment section that constructive criticism taught me something new
absolutely love these videos ruby!
