Frequently Asked Questions:
😇 How old are you? 23
📝 What are you studying? I am set to start my MA in English Literature at Oxford this autumn.
📚What are your favourite books? • 200 book recommendatio...
📚 Do you have a book club? Yes! You can join it here for free: fable.co/club/reading-with-th...
📝 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
🍵 What's your favourite tea? That's a REALLY hard one, but I think I'd have to say the B&B Chocolate Digestive Tea: bird-and-blend-tea-co.sjv.io/youwilllovethisone (affiliate link)

Ruby i can’t say how happy I am for you! You’ve worked so so hard and you deserve this so much. I hope you have the best time studying at Oxford ❤️
Is it just me or does the whole vlog and oxford have such a Harry potter vibe 🤩🤩🤩
Especially the part where she is picking up her academic gown. It reminds me of the part where Harry buys his clothes and wand for his first time at Hogwarts 🥰
It felt like that honestly 🙈🙈🙈
I’ve visited Oxford and the colleges and it literally feels like you’re in the Harry Potter movie
I'd guess harry Potter is based on oxbridge
Harry Potter and A Discovery of Witches!
Yessss….I came here to comment the same…especially the library part….
Been following your journey for the past 5 years; you've kept at want you wanted for so long and its so incredibly admirable!
as someone who will never be able to study at Oxford, I am so grateful that you're making vlogs like this so we can all get a glimpse into what it's like being a student here !
You don’t need to go to a university to learn. Libraries are available for the public.
@@eara8426yeesss
Don't mind, but why you will never be able to????????
Imagine the steps that have walked the exact same path you have walked through the years ❤
Silent viewer here, but I just wanted to say how happy I am for you! I have been watching you for 5 years now, and I know how much you deserve this. I hope you have the best time! ❤
Me too! She is soooo inspiring 🥰
I really hope you're enjoying it Ruby! You should be so proud of yourself! ❤
The best thing about you being in Oxford is the way you appreciate everything. I love that you take nothing for granted and I hope you are having a magical time! Also, right now you are our fictional dark academia character showing us around Oxford life and I looove it!!
The ambience of your surroundings ooze a quiet, meditative setting, just perfect for studying literature and writing; I’m sure it’s not always so but it looks that way. The architectural style of the college commands respect and reverence, giving off a sense of strength, security and protection; a place that invites you to study. Ruby, you always bring us joy and a positive influence for all that’s good, kind, and praiseworthy. Thank you for vloging your first day at Oxford and I look forward to the next installment.
you can see her tiny smiles throughout the video. this video is so precious 🖤 here’s to more library vlogs!!!
Ruby! Look at you! My heart is swelling with pride. Can't wait to go on this journey with you.
You're already on it
Ruby, I know you’re cherishing every moment at Oxford, but I still want to ask you to “double cherish it” for all of us watching, cause if I’m in disbelief of how beautiful it is from your clips, then I can’t imagine how you must feel living it 🤍
This makes me so happy. I can't even explain it. You are inspirational, Ruby. I'm a full time elementary school teacher, taking night classes with Harvard Extension School. I was feeling overwhelmed, decided to take a 'brain-break', came here and now I feel motivated again. Thanks!
Giving up caffeine was one of the best things I’ve ever done, seriously I fall asleep faster (and therefore get more/enough sleep) which just makes my whole life better
I find myself feeling very emotional watching this vlog, Ruby. Your excitement and joy are palpable. When we work really hard to achieve something, it is so rewarding. This is your reward, and I hope you enjoy every moment of your time at Oxford. I certainly shall vicariously- Florence.
I couldn't stop smiling. You deserve to finally be here, and seeing how much you appreciate every small thing just makes me so happy for you! I hope the whole year is magical. You're living your dream!
Loving how The Gilmore Girls turned Ruby straight into Rory's coffee-swilling sister from another mister! 😁 Congratulations on Oxford! So excited to be on this adventure with you!
I love how you can just tell that you are brimming with excitement in this video
Ruby! I'm so happy for you! I recall watching your video years ago and felt your disappointment over not getting into Oxford. Seeing you now achieving your dream brings me immense joy. You truly deserve this!
Seeing ruby reaching his dreams after such a struggle and setbacks is just so motivating and fills me with positivity😌❣️
HER DREAMS 😅
Her not his 😊
Ruby, truly so so happy for you - you deserve this so much! I am watching this whilst completing my Oxford undergraduate application, and am so excited to see your journey across the next year! ❤
You can feel the happiness and excitement radiating through the screen. I think a lot of us are living vicariously through you, Oxford is such a lovely place. Wishing you all the best with this next adventure from another Exeter grad. 😊
Congratulations on moving to Oxford and beginning your masters journey there, so happy for you! And it's also wonderful to see how much you love Oxford, it's truly an enchanting city and I love it so much that I moved there almost a year ago and still can't get enough of it. It's surreal seeing you walk through the streets that now feel like home to me.
I’ve been watching your videos for ageeees now, I can feel your excitement for Oxford through the screen, if anyone deserves to go there it’s you. You are amazing and you’ve come so far! We are all so proud ❤️
I LOVE these Oxford videos. I feel every moment of your appreciation for the city and the university and your time here.
I'm really pleased for you. You're so inspiring to others, and show that if you persist you can follow your dreams, even if it wasn't the path you originally thought. My mum wasn't able to study as a nurse when she left school because she didn't have the means. She had us children, did an access course, which led to University, which let to her now being a nurse for 16 years with various accreditations and a more senior position.
Sometimes we take a more scenic route on the path to following our dreams. I'm sure you've learned lots along the way.
You deserve to be unconditionally happy, especially this year at Oxford. All your hard work has paid off - inspiring x
What a joy to see you so happy with where you are in life… I’m wishing you all the happiness for this chapter in your life 😊
Wow congratulations Ruby, I find it so sweet that your first day was one of the best days of your life. I'm sure you were pinching yourself, and will continue to do so throughout the academic year
I started watching your videos when I was doing my master’s, around the time when you first applied to Oxford (your study with me videos truly got me through it!). It feels so special and right to see you there now. I’m so happy and excited for you!
I am so happy for you Ruby! Can't believe how far you've come!! I still remember watching your freshman year university vlogs and now you are at Oxford for your masters! All my best wishes to you! Hope you have the best time there!✨✨
Hey Ruby! Your journey of getting into Oxford feels like a personal accomplishment. I can't possibly express how happy I am to see this video. Best wishes and I am sure you will make the most out of your stay in Oxford.
Ruby!! - I still can't believe that I have been watching you in 2014, when you were doing study with me's and Harry Potter videos and now your studying your masters in English at Oxford! I am very happy for you and you deserve the best time there while studying your masters! You continue to be an inspiration for me and I am glad to say that you are someone that I look up to! Good luck at Oxford Ruby and I wish you nothing but the best!
i'm SO excited for you, you've worked long and hard for this and the day has finally arrived ❤
the joy is evident throughout this video and it makes me really grateful for my PhD research now, academia can be really cool (also been watching your channel since i was in sixth form, so 2016-2017 so it's wonderful to see how things have changed!)
Your pure joy and disbelief reminds me of when, many years ago now, I saved up and moved to Edinburgh for a few months' working-holiday from South Africa. I'm still so grateful for the opportunity and learnt so much about myself.
Ruby, many congrats and enjoy every single second of your time in Oxford! I'm rooting for you, especially having studied English literature myself 🙂
I love that no matter the space you are in you manage to make it cozy and warm ~ Glad you had a happy first day~
So proud of your journey and overjoyed that you get to experience this! 💜
Hey Ruby, Im 24 and ive been watching you since like 2016 when I was in high school. I also went through a very unique journey in my education and career path that was different from what I originally planned. Watching the way to you have handled "failure" and adapted your path has kept me inspired and also grounded in my own struggles. I just wanted to say congratulations and thank you.
It's such an honor and a privilege to be taken along on this journey with you! Thank you for sharing! You inspire us all!
It's so thrilling to be coming along on your Oxford journey. Congratulations and savor every moment.

Congratulations Ruby! I’ve been watching your journey for years and am living vicariously through you as it has always been my dream to go to Oxford too. Sending lots of love.x
I'm really living vicariously through you at the moment Ruby, this looks absolutely incredible!
So happy for you Ruby, lovely to see you fulfil your dream. It reminds me of what my Nan used to say “Good things come to those who wait” I hope it’s everything you want it to be and more.
This is simultaneously the most relaxing, motivating, aesthetic, and positive video on UA-cam today!

I cannot express how happy I am for you. It makes me smile to see you so gracious.

Wish you the very best in your post-graduate studies and learning at Oxford, dear miss Granger.
Watching this particular video reminds me so much of my very first life experience when I entered college/university life in the late 90s, so I thank you for the nostalgia as well. 😊
You’re fulfilling so many people’s dream…I am glad for you, Ruby 🎉
To study surrounded by all that history must be like a dream come true. So excited to be able to share this journey with you ❤
I'm almost as excited as you! So pleased you are allowing us to come on the journey with you.
Im so glad that you have a room with a proper window to see through now! Your halls look so nice. I’m so excited for you! I graduated 15 years ago, but I was equally happy when I started my Master’s degree. All the best to you! x
I'm so incredibly happy for you being there! Also this makes me very nostalgic as it reminds me of when I first began studying, your vlog transported me right back into those feelings 😌
All the best Ruby❤You are such an inspiration for people who are in academia as well as others too❤
So happy you are finally here! As a fan for over 7 years, it feels like seeing my own child grows up🥰
So so happy for you Ruby. Wishing you every success at Oxford. I hope it turns out to be everything you dreamed it would be.
So happy for you, Ruby! Well done and thanks so very much for taking us all with you.
It's so lovely to see how genuinely happy you are, you were born to study in Oxford
This is such a charming video it made me a bit emotional! Reminded me of my first day in Oxford, and how much I look back on it with fondness. You’re making the most of this beautiful opportunity and it’s lovely to see, thanks for sharing Ruby!

I'm very happy for you Ruby🥳 Your hard efforts are rewarded and you reached that great place 🏆 Wish all the best with your masters 💐
Ruby, I have never commented before but have been following you for many years and know what Oxford means to you. I am from Oxford and can tell you that you and student life in Oxford are a perfect fit for each other. Enjoy your time at Jesus (lucky to be at a college in the centre of town) - they are lucky to have you! Enjoy too, meeting like minded people that Oxford is full of. Please don't feel a pressure to post as the short terms are very intense. So happy for you xxx
Thank you much for taking us along! I love seeing it!
I went to Oxford for the fist time a month ago and I loved it. I was excited seeing you going to the places I've been! I can't wait to see more of your life in that beautiful city.
So so proud of you! Hope you’re enjoying it as much as we’re enjoying the vlogs and discovering the gorgeous campus🍂🤎
Not a campus per se but a federation of colleges, permanent private halls and university buildings. Ruby’s college is Jesus which is in the very centre of Oxford (not all Oxford colleges are as central).
@@drzander3378 ohhhhh thanks for the info💌
