Frequently Asked Questions:
😇 How old are you? 22
📝 What are you studying? I just finished studying English Literature at the University of Exeter. But we are students for life, and I hope that I will continue learning even though I am out of structured education.
📚What are your favourite books? • 200 book recommendatio...
📝 Have you written a book? My life goal is to be a published author and make a living from writing and I am using this year to gain experience, build up a portfolio and work on a book with my agent. I have just finished the final draft of that book, as you can see in this video. I did self-publish a book about bullying when I was seventeen which is available on Amazon (amzn.to/3mdJKLm), but I'm slightly embarrassed by it now!
🎃 Do you have merch? I don't have merch in the traditional sense (I can't imagine selling something with my face or name on haha!), but I do have a stationery company where I sell planners for students. These are all designed with students in mind and follow models which I've used when planning my studying. Our products are printed in pastel colours on recycled paper: bit.ly/3wgsR85

We overestimate what we can do in a day, but underestimate what we can do in a year.
I love this!
Oh don't start this how many books we can read nonsense again 🤣
"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thanks, that is such a good quote
I'm a 41 year old mother of 2 and I love watching your videos Ruby! I'm in my final year of a degree, and I often take inspiration from you, thank you 😊
Your videos always make me tempted to move to the British countryside
hahahaha but do not....well unless you are British and resilient....or writing a book etc...
@@Buzzj4k hahaha this is hilarious...and soooo cute British....I am Greek and used to live within the multicultural safety of M25 ... I of course liked my ocasional visits to the British countryside but I instantly turned into something semi-exotic and rare , whereas in London I was simply....just another Londoner working in the NHS...
@UCyvtBHHN6deefzpDGw5tfpg Mmm Blackpool...I am not sure if had visited Blackpool, if yes it would have been for a psychology conference. I also lived in Birmingham for two years and I was commuting to Wolverhampton while there. By the way in my distorted little foreigner's viewpoint....almost anything outside of London is "countryside" not in the sense of lovely spaces and greenery but again in that sense of being exotic. It was amazing how safe and welcomed one felt while living in London which was hard to replicate anywhere else. Having said that my Wolverhapmpton job was super too and very inclusive so part of it all was in my mind too and how I had interpreted some of the countryside experiences (like being asked too many questions as in why do you work here instead of Greece , why do you have an unusual accent etc etc). I left UK back in 2009 and have not been able to visit since...which is soooo strange. If I go there now it will instantly feel like home...and it would be amazing to meet my friends after all those years. You know what ? I have to plan a trip sometime soon. thank you for this reminiscent conversation.
Me Also
Same. Her house & area are like my perfect dream.
Hi ruby, one of my resolutions is going to bed before 1am and wake up before 10 am. I struggled with depression a lot in the past years, and my sleep schedule was really bad and that didn't help at all. Now I'm trying to do better❤️(ps:sorry for my english, it's not my first language)
Wishing you lots of success with that! I have a similar goal. Also, your English is really good, truly, no need to put a disclaimer!
Ah same I go to bed at like 1,30 when I have school tomorrow because of anxiety
Wishing you all the best!!
5:20 The Moldau by Bedřich Smetana. Honestly, one of the pieces that make me proud of my country. ❤️
I had bad depression last year and although I'm much better, I've printed off a mindful calender where you complete a self care activity (I.e a 5 min breathing excercise) each day. So far I've been keeping it up so want to carry on keeping track of my mental health. 😊 oh and reading, already read one book this year (well finished it from just before Christmas lol) so all good so far 😊.
Good luck to everybody with their resolutions! Xx
Best wishes 🙂
She is such a comfort person....i love her very much
One of the best New Year’s resolutions for me is to live one day at a time-not fretting over yesterday or borrowing from tomorrow. Your comments were very practical and logical, as they always are. I just began Wuthering Heights and very glad I’ve finally got around to reading it, but how it yanks my emotions-I declare. I’ve been deep in Dickens for the past couple of months, finishing Oliver Twist, halfway through David Copperfield, and almost done with Nicholas Nickleby-each one a superb reading experience. Happy New Year, Ruby, and if you feel inclined tell us more about your part-time job and the Masters Degree program you want to pursue.
You never fail to motivate me! Thx ruby….😊❤
I do like what you said about resolutions being made at any time of the year. I treat my resolutions like a running to-do list for the year so that I feel like I can add new ones as they appear or remove ones that I placed on there but I no longer feel aligned with.
Really important to remember that you don't have to achieve every goal you put out there, especially if it no longer is suitable for the direction you're heading🙏🏻
Hi Ruby! One of my resolutions is to follow a 30-day yoga program and I have been doing great so far. I also decided to try and read all of the books I own that are on my TBR before buying any new books... That's ambitious ahah. I wish you a happy new year and a productive week!
She is doing her master's💞👏🏼👏🏼 just a reminder that each of you should picture your future life and how to get there. A lot of people study all their life when many successful people are gaining experience outside of school👀 pick wisely, friends!
Well,I do both! Already worked at five companies and doing a double-masters right now 😊
Ruby's vlogs are always so aesthetic! ✨🍂
They give off the perfect cozy vibes ❤️❤️
Excellent point about 100% consistency being unrealistic! Presumably that means you have days that aren't structured? What do you do on unstructured days - long lie-ins? Spawl on the sofa in front of the TV? Lie in the bath for hours? Daydream? 😇
Love your content you always encourage me to be myself and productive
I hope that you and everyone that you love is well
One video that I think you could do if you have time is a Video about every youtube content creator you would recommend watching and subscribe to
Watching you talk about setting a better night routine at 2:30am in the morning whilst drinking coffee lmao- I'm working on that as well, and I've definitely been using that reassurance of 'one bad day doesn't mean you have to give up'; my sleep used to be all over the place, esp in my last year of college and first year of uni where I was just completely burnt out and not addressing my mental health issues. You've been a big reassurance, role model and help for me for years since you were making videos in college and I was in year 11. Beautifully convenient to be able to get advice from someone's videos who was always one academic year ahead of me 😂ty for everything you do :)
Hi Ruby! My resolution is to don't base my self-worth on work. I am struggling with looking for a job after finished university. It is a hard time because at school/ uni I just knew what to do to accomplish something. Now lots of depends not only on me.
It would be lovely if you did some live time to study or write with me again! It was very motivating and just a nice time with you, tea, and books. 😍
Hi Ruby, how are you? I truly love all of your videos, you bring so much peace and happiness to our lives. Sending you lots of love from Uruguay! Saludos!
Rewatching. You know, you also have a very nice voice. It's so relaxed, pleasant, light, friendly and welcoming. I like it. lol
I love the way you are approaching resolutions, with the example you gave of "I'm the kind of person who drinks enough water", and that 100% consistency isn't realistic. Literally already saying you're the kind of person who does a particular thing, to really embrace that idea so it becomes more natural, part of who you are. Maybe it's also worth internalising the idea that "I'm the kind of person who doesn't need 100% consistency to keep on doing my best to live out my goals". To literally praise yourself every time you've continued doing your best after you've 'failed'. This way you'll actually never fail, cause you've only learned. We only fail when we give up trying. 💫
I love the style of your room Ruby! I really wanna get one of those bust statue things for my desk, it’s so dark academia
You should! The design is so beautiful 😻
Your videos make me happy. I see and know that the world can be quiet and beautiful.
Hi Ruby, I just wanted to thank you for this cozy video, today i'm just being very anxious and overwhelmed by tommorrow final oral exam, i keep thinking negative thoughts about myself, but your video helped me with my anxiety and i feel slightly better, so just thank you for you content :) Sending best regards for the New Year as well, I hope your master studies application ends up well :)
This is such a lovely video to start my day with. I love the calmness and reality of it. For me it's been a little hectic the first days of the year so having a slow morning is so important to me.
Your voice is so soothing and soulful..feels like keep listening 💗
Can you please do a What I Got for Christmas, Ruby!
Babel changed my life. I had never felt so seen. I devoured that book. Especially as a female of colour working in a very white-male occupation that is meant to "serve queen and country", and who went to a gothic, secluded university on a peninsula, I felt like R.F. Kuang looked into my soul and wrote my experiences on a page. There were some parts/conversations in the book that were so accurate and that mirrored my real life experiences so well that I felt like she had spied on my life and the wrote a book about it. At least the beginning part.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the book Ruby. I have never been so excited for someone to read a book. Can't wait to hear your opinion on it in a future video!
I am a non-native english speaker,soo,you inspire me soo much for reading ❤
My new years resolution is to build some skills, consistently keep up with learning, create income stream for myself and also continue writing my book.
Ruby. thank you so much for posting. I was having such a horrible day today, and lost hope in everything. But, thanks to you for posting, I've regained that hope. I love your content and videos !! Keep posting :)
hi Ruby! Watching your videos makes me really motivated, I always have a productive day afterwards. I just wanted to say how much I am grateful to you! :')
Thanks for your video! My NY resolutions aka goals: finish my masters degree, find a work in education and begin a PhD
I can't tell you how much I love the NASA outfit you were wearing, omg!!
The new years chat was extremely important and somthing a lot of people needed to hear happy new year! 😊
Hi ruby I have been watching your channel since you were in high school and then university all the way until now because your videos have always motivated me to study, and I enjoy watching them.Thank you
I LOVE seeing your dog in your videos, Ruby. She's gorgeous!
I honestly love watching your videos. The aesthetic,music, edits, You, your voice.. everything is just beautiful and relaxing and motivating at the same time. 🤍🤍
My resolutions for this year are cooking more diversely and listening to more music! I really like your mindset- we can totally set goals for ourselves at any time
love 🤍 happy new year ruby
Your vlogs are always so wholesome ❤
Absolutely wonderful Darling… I always enjoy your videos. 🥀
I find timers help me to stay focused, too. Really useful advice.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR🎄🎄❤️
Congratulations on your new job! You are born to teach, aren't you? This channel proves that. Keep inspiring new generations of students/pupils.
All the best!! 🎄🥇🏆
Great video Ruby! I always gather inspiration from you keep up the good work and greetengs from MEXICO 🇲🇽
I have never owned an electric blanket, but I understand that this thing would be very useful to me. I work from home and the only thing that saves me is a lot of warm tea during the day.
I would highly recommend getting one! They’re so cosy and also very cost effective 💛
@@RubyGranger8 Thank you for your answer! I hope they are available in our stores.
Have lunch every day is my resolution. BTW I think I like your day in the life videos best.
Hello Ruby!:) Just wanted to say that you are the most classy UA-camr I have come acrossed…stay that way! Classy n intellectual:) cheers to your channel
Happy New year Ruby. Love watching and listening to you. You are truly inspirational. Thank you.
You really are very inspiring Ruby. I love watching you so much 💖. I just love how dedicated and hardworking you are and it's not easy considering all the distractions that we have around us. I wish to be hardworking like you 🌼💖
You are amazing Ruby ❤thank you for the time you spent doing theses videos ✨✨
You’ve really inspired my channel❤
i hope you are having a good new year ruby. and i am so happy 2023 is here 🥰❤
I also have started to develop a morning and night routine, and trying to get to sleep earlier. Now it’s Saturday morning, and I’ve gotten up before my dad😁
You’re working in a school? How perfect for you! I hope your pupils are well behaved for you! Happy new year Ruby❤
I am LOVING it honestly! 🥰📚
@@RubyGranger8 Wow, I'm happy for you!
Thank you ruby for the tip of keep trying 💛💛✨ good luck on your masters application ✨
Thank u ruby 💜
For giving your precious time to motivate us!!!
Beautiful video, Ruby! Good luck!
@Ruby there are many things that I enjoy while watching your videos and one of them is that they actually record the makings of a writer...
A love as true as Ruby
Good luck with your masters statement.
I've been questioning multi-tasking lately. I think when you multitask there's a slippery slope where you start choosing worse tasks to compliment your main task. Like say Ruby reads while brushing her teeth, and eventually she's just grabbing any book to compliment this task to where she's not carefully selecting the book.
It's something I'm considering.
Just thought I'd say that.
One thing I want to work on this year is getting to sleep, and not really working in the night hours. Like if I wake up in the middle of the night with some idea, maybe not acting on it, but resting, and seeing what idea's come in the day time. I think day time idea's tend to be more healthy and even done out of love more, where at night I may be more competing, or trying to get even with someone, or something along those lines.
Missed you Ruby!! Hope you are doing well and having a good start to the new year💗
Gosh, Wuthering Heights was such an intense book.
Oh hey I’m reading Babel too! Really loving it so far ❤
What age are you working with in the school Ruby? Your presentation looked wonderful! Would love to hear what Masters program you are applying for too if you're happy to share x
Live closed to nature, save the feel
ive been waiting to get my hands on one of your yearly planners but they were all sold out until i saw the new one in the description when i first played the video. it went through and so excited to get it in!!!
This video just made my day :)
I love horoscopes. I'm not into astrology, but they either give you some nice inspiration for the day or they're outright funny.
At my 2015 excavation we had that huge astrology magazine at the camper, it was sort of tradition started by the late head of excavation to read that every morning. It was one of those super inaccurate, wild and over the top ones by a local "guru" who had his portrait on every single page. We had so much fun following it, especially the "fashion advice" that your stars apparently commanded you that day 😂
That opening shot was fantastic!
I just finished reading Babel and it was amazing. I hope you enjoy it too, Ruby
Beans on pizza...ever seen anything more British? 😂 ❤
Amazing video, hope you fulfill your goals for this year and thanks for motivating the world
love your videos Ruby 🥰
Such a beautiful video ... glad I am watching it before going to bed 🛌 😴. I absolutely love your voice over videos 📹
Happy New Year Ruby! Another chilled vlog x
What program do you use to write your books? Do you use word, notion, or something else? Could you please do a video about how you plan out and write your books? With my goals. I use the success, motivation, etc. I also use the ideal progress over perfection. Using these I’ve been able to loose 20kg in 4 months in preparation for my upcoming surgery, I’m getting double below the knee amputations and I’m planning during my recovery I want to work on beginning to write an autobiography, and in the future write a fiction novel, hence the earlier questions.
I would like to publish my poems which are highly influenced by Emily Dickinson's poetry. I think that I will also write a poem every single day to keep me happy.
Happy New Year Ruby! ❤📖
It´s never too late for new year´s resolutions, so one of them could be to release new videos on Tuesdays. We could call it "Ruby Tuesday" and enjoy the tune from the Stones song as well. 🙂
Aaa cant wait to hear your thoughts about babel!

Hope ur doing well Ruby...been subscribed since 2017...take care of your mental and spiritual health🥰😘

Thank you for uploading ☺ 💖💖
I just finished my PhD personal statements! good job on getting yours done :)
Love your videos!
Happy New Year! I'm interested to hear what you think of Babel. I got a copy of it for Christmas and will be starting it this week :)
I love you so so much 😍🥰
I feel myself getting tired in the afternoons every day, but somehow really awake at night, when I know I should be going to bed to get enough sleep. (I always wake up early even when I go to bed late) Do you have any ideas/tips on how to stay awake and motivated during a slump?
0:42 Some of the wlw at my former high school noticed me reading this book and invited me to their book club at this café. They had hoped they would have one more wlw join them- I disappointed them a bit when I shared I had a boyfriend, but we developed wonderful friendships within the group and we still make sure to meet up a few times a year even if we’re at uni. and have new friends and some have family situations to tend to.
Curious as to meaning of wlw & why having a boyfriend meant you couldn't join the club.
@@hsoderberg6505wlw means women loving women, and so i think it was a queer book club :)
Ruby is so lovely 🥰
Did you used beans in pizza?
You’ll really enjoy that book. I’ve just finished it. It’s amazing. I couldn’t help but notice your bear sat on your bed was he a Christmas present?
For the love of all that’s holy, show us what you got for Christmas.
3:07 Your father (or at least I'm assuming so) looks like Pied Piper in this wonderful coat! Have you read the book by Viktor Dyk? It's my favorite classical piece from my country and I'd love to know your opinion on it! 💞
"I couldn´t sleep so I woke up at 5 am" me, but exclusively during semester break. During semester, I sleep so deeply that my alarms cannot wake me up anymore until about 9:15. Or my alarm is broken, Idk. I´ve missed several lectures because of it and one time even 3 hours of group work (I´m presenting it now because I feel bad for having missed almost half of the whole working process).
