Honestly? I'd rather get distracted by the title. Shows you're actually thinking about it. Six books in five minutes is certainly an exaggeration but 200 books a year or whatever Ruby's read doesn't seem productive. Also, her book reviews and comments sometimes seem shallow or like she's misunderstood the book idk. I'd rather spend a few minutes thinking about the title than rush through 200 books, fifty of which are children's books !!
@@theavodkado Whoa there. Reading slow is fine, but so is reading fast. No need to become so judgmental. Besides, people read books for all kinds of reason- children‘s books are often read out of nostalgia, or to remember the things that used to make you happy in your childhood. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. You could have literally just said „Reading slow and thinking intently about things is cool too“ and instead you had to go and tear down the way Ruby reads. Not cool.
11:48 I keep replaying what Ruby says here, it’s wonderfully reflective and poetic. 12:56 “ *_I think the trick to romanticising your own life and appreciating every moment is trying to be present in everything_* ” 🙌🏼 ♥
Hey Ruby, just FYI when you use your jade roller its best to only roll up and out, and not roll downwards on your face. This encourages your face to keep its elasticity, move blood around and combat the effects of gravity. This is also made easier if you use an oil or oilier moisturizer to lubricate the whole process and pull your skin less ❤️
the piece about presence was really the one that touched my soul very deeply... sometimes I (actually, most of us) just forget how much simple things and thoughts mean, especially when on the verge of falling into the darkest places. thank you so much. this made me stop and smile for a moment 💚
I can't remember the last time I felt excited to start the day and in a good mood and happy about how things were going. One can only hope your optimism will rub off Ruby.
Ruby , I have been watching you since i had been through really hard times. You helped me get through it by not even being conscious i existed. You honestly saved my life ! Stay safe and well. x
I appreciate how you relate the topic of census to what you've been reading and to the history of conducting census in the UK. You brought ads in videos to a new level.
You are my BIGGEST source of academic inspiration and are such a wonderful role model. Your videos are so relaxing and wholesome. I was so excited to see a new upload from you today 😭❤️
I think it's a matter of respect and being polite. The teacher has his camera and is showing his face and his room and everything. The minimum you can do is to turn on your camera too!!
My Anglo American prof said, that she doesn‘t teach our laptops instead of us. It will be funny with my grammar skills in this course (I am from Germany).
" I am 12 years old and my dream is to study English literature in the university of oxford" sound familiar? It's my dream too. Ruby iv been with you from the start, keep going I love you💕
I live in Northern Ireland and many of our censuses were destroyed. I wish we still had them because they're so useful for tracking family history, it's left me with so many gaps :(
Aaaaah! I thought I was the only one. I'd wake up again at 11-12 in the morning,on a cold Saturday( a habit I somehow learned since I started living away from home). My roommate doesn't get how I could "sleep my youth away" lol (her words not mine😂)
Your room looks so cosy after the little "makeover". And more space for exercise, yay! Yes, walks work wonders for a new perspective! Also, I now have serious literary jumper envy.
I'm always inspired by your videos, but this one struck me in particular! I, too, can relate to the "lots of sitting to do work" these days and have felt so disconnected from daily moments I used to cherish. Learning to stay present has become a priority, so you struck a chord there during your morning walk clips! I think I'll take a morning walk tomorrow, too, and do a yoga flow after this video ends. Thank you for sharing your beautiful words of inspiration and encouragement!
Trust me when I say this i always look forward to seeing you pour a cup of tea for yourself on your instagram story, i don't know what is up with me. Like it is one of the highlights of my day
The best tip I can give you is to try and find something you actually enjoy. I absolutely despise at home workouts where you just keep repeating sit ups and push ups and burpees and what not, but I love doing some yoga in the mornings and evenings and going on a run every once in a while. I'm also trying to learn how to skateboard which is exercise as well! And remember that dancing around in your room counts too ;)
@@katie.eq1434 That was me, too. It's hard! But so what if they judge? Would you really rather let their judgment get in the way of something you could otherwise enjoy? Joining club sports teams really helped me. It's exercise, but you're part of a team, and the focus is on the game and not your body or your individual athleticism.
@@katie.eq1434 same... I wasn't big but clumsy so, bullies loved me. I recommend you to do some "fake" exercise like dance or walk or take the stairs... You can do it at home and it helps to move yourself and have fun! I put on a playlist I made with the name "Happy" and do chores almost dancing. Find your own unique way 😉
School excels at destroying any motivation. What worked for me was courses included in my gym membership. Well, worked as long as I could make the time, and for the last year, you can guess. Trying to get back into a yoga routine, just this time without a teacher.
Can we just talk about how aesthetic and motivational Ruby's videos are? I wasn't in the mood to be productive recently, but just watching her videos makes me want to be productive.. Is there anyone else how has gone through what I have gone through?
If you sometimes get back pain from sitting so much, I'd really recommend a proper office chair and/or a desk you can change from sitting to standing. It made all the difference for me! And as soon as it gets a little warmer, it's really really nice to do your morning yoga outside. :)
I loved the bits where you were going more into what you’re studying & your thoughts on the content! I would honestly love it if you included more of your personal thoughts and ideas about what you’re studying, and use UA-cam as sort of a log of your personal ideas about literature and writing while also educating viewers on what you learned
The life writing module looks super interesting, plus I think you could really relate to it because of how you chronicle your life and share it with all of us on youtube.
My most favourite module was on Greek Myths i was so sad when it ended :( The post mod depression was so bad. My second favourite was on Archaeology. Both modules had the best professors, who made learning so much fun. I miss those good old days.
Exercise is such an awesome way to recover from mental fatigue of school and work load. It's so easy to neglect this but it does wonders to our productivity! Inspiring video :)
We're actually not allowed to have our cameras on during online classes, because the program my university uses can't handly that many video screens. It sucks, because it would help me so much with being able to concentrate!
your videos inspire me so much. ive been really struggling with school lately, and your videos help me so much to feel productive. i also just love your vibes because they are *immaculate*
Your videos are so wholesome and motivational. You have helped me so much to find my love for learning again whilst also leading a balanced life, thank you :)
I laugh so hard when you brought up Malthus! XD Not because it's funny or his theory is wrong, but because my mother, who's an economist and studied his theories at university, has always spoken about him and his work to me and my sisters since when we were little :) It was like a "oh, someone else is familiar with him!" moment.
I am Turkish but still I watch you even if I don't understand anything😀 Your videos are very nice Ruby especially your morning routines are great by the way,you are very beautiful 💜❤
Have you tried yoga socks? I use them on my wooden floors instead of a mat. It makes it harder as you have to engage your muscles more to not slip but I prefer it to a mat.
I like what you said about being present in the moment. I realized I don't do that often enough. Thanks! By the way, I was impressed with your handstand while holding yourself up, good for you! 😃
Your videos always put me in a great mood. I feel calm, inspired and more hopeful about the future. Thank you so much for creating this amazing content! Lots of love from Germany! 💜
Another interesting idea regarding de Quincey is how the essay you mentioned is in part a follow up to his Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (highly recommend!) in which he’s sort of capitalising on his ‘scandalous’ persona (de Quincey wasn’t a rich man and was earning a living in the periodical press, although his real ambition was to join the Romantic school - he actually lived at Grasmere for a time after Wordsworth moved out). Can really sense in his writing the transition from Romanticism to Victorian sensibilities and (as you say) the beginnings of literary decadence. :)
thank you for this absolutely lovely video as always, make sure you take care of yourself. it felt like i was hanging out with a friend as i watched this video, have a good upcoming weekend
Ruby, you're wearing the most gorgeous chunky jumpers, would you perhaps consider making a video about them and what brands they are? I'm looking for high quality woollen jumpers and they are quite hard to find...
I love your channel! I am a newer viewer but I have watched so many of your videos. Thanks for being a great UA-camr :D Consistent and amazing quality!
‘If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress’
*"Pain of regret is so much worse than pain of discipline."*
That motivated me a lot!!❤️
100% correct
True 🙌 definitely repeating that in my head when I don't want to do something important
Ruby: reads 6 books in the span of 5 minutes
Me: opens the page and gets distracted by the title
😂
Aah so accurate i just closed my book

I would love to see Ruby do a house tour or garden tour!
Ruby makes me want to be a better person. Also love the new bed placement
Same!
Anytime I’m stressed, all I have to do is look up you’re channel and I feel relaxed :)
Y dont you just subscribe?
@@Maariyahuddin I am subbed
Same 🥺💕
I can't remember the last time I felt excited to start the day and in a good mood and happy about how things were going. One can only hope your optimism will rub off Ruby.

the intro felt like waking up on a christmas morning with christmas songs and family conversations overlapping
Daily reminder: don't forget to stretch your body especially if you spend the day seated at a desk or table, try to also get some fresh air🍃
LITERALLY ONE OF THE MOST PRODUCTIVE UA-camR ON EARTH
I agree! The only reason I am productive is because of her 💕
We know its true too since she does 2 hour even 3 hour live stude with me's!
She is amazing
You are my BIGGEST source of academic inspiration and are such a wonderful role model. Your videos are so relaxing and wholesome. I was so excited to see a new upload from you today 😭❤️
On days I can’t focus, I use the pomodoro technique with a timer!!! That really helps me get through the day!!!
Who here loves Ruby?❤️
Honestly it's amazing to see someone so young being so dedicated to study and especially studying one of my favourite periods of history
this video is EXACTLY what i needed for relaxation rn
I see you everywhere lol
@@anushkab9528 Right lol 😁
I’m sure your professors are happy that at least someone has their camera on in seminars, it must be sad looking at student names the entire time
This is exactly why I do it! I find it so much easier to talk when it’s to a face myself! x
I think it's a matter of respect and being polite. The teacher has his camera and is showing his face and his room and everything. The minimum you can do is to turn on your camera too!!
My Anglo American prof said, that she doesn‘t teach our laptops instead of us. It will be funny with my grammar skills in this course (I am from Germany).
As a university lecturer, I couldn't agree more. It is pretty frustrating to talk at a wall.
@@carbmg Exactly!
" I am 12 years old and my dream is to study English literature in the university of oxford" sound familiar? It's my dream too. Ruby iv been with you from the start, keep going I love you💕
Wish you good luck for your dream.
Good luck with your studies and life
Good luck so you going to get a duffle coat like her's to be like her lo 😂

I live in Northern Ireland and many of our censuses were destroyed. I wish we still had them because they're so useful for tracking family history, it's left me with so many gaps :(
Exercising is so important, especially for mental health! 😊
Ruby : After morning skin care, I'm loving to do yoga.
Me: In the morning, after brushing my teeth I go to bed again for sleeping ...lol..😂
😅
Aaaaah! I thought I was the only one. I'd wake up again at 11-12 in the morning,on a cold Saturday( a habit I somehow learned since I started living away from home). My roommate doesn't get how I could "sleep my youth away" lol (her words not mine😂)
You are not the only one, I have insomnia and love my 7 am naps after feeding my pets
Your room looks so cosy after the little "makeover". And more space for exercise, yay!
Yes, walks work wonders for a new perspective!
Also, I now have serious literary jumper envy.
I mean seriously though, I could never get sick of watching Ruby’s videos.
I'm always inspired by your videos, but this one struck me in particular! I, too, can relate to the "lots of sitting to do work" these days and have felt so disconnected from daily moments I used to cherish.

I hated PE in school, perhaps Ruby can convince me to enjoy exercise 😂
The best tip I can give you is to try and find something you actually enjoy. I absolutely despise at home workouts where you just keep repeating sit ups and push ups and burpees and what not, but I love doing some yoga in the mornings and evenings and going on a run every once in a while. I'm also trying to learn how to skateboard which is exercise as well! And remember that dancing around in your room counts too ;)
I feel like I’d would enjoy Pe, however I am considered a “bigger girl therefore I feel like I’m being judged by my physical ability all the time :/
@@katie.eq1434 That was me, too. It's hard! But so what if they judge? Would you really rather let their judgment get in the way of something you could otherwise enjoy?
Joining club sports teams really helped me. It's exercise, but you're part of a team, and the focus is on the game and not your body or your individual athleticism.

I SWEAR I CAN NEVER BE SOOO PRODUCTIVE LIKE HER, trust me! ':-(
Me too sis
@ᥣilᥡ's audios. aww thank you for your advice! >33
This is the best ad for the census I’ve ever seen
Yoga is such a calming form of exercise for both the mind and body. I would highly recommend watching Holly Gabrielle's morning yoga 💚
Before i start my studying or doing hw, i always watch Ruby's videos to give me some kind of study like hermione spirit lol thanks Ruby❤️
Do you know what I noticed😂?
Ruby has moved her bed in the bedroom 😂
But it looks good
this was the first thing i noticed lol! and its a different bed!
I watched this while having my breakfast and now I'm totally inspired to make the most of my day! 😊
Aw it was so lovely when you talked about waking up in a good mood! Love it when that happens 💕
With each video, I fall more and more in love with Ruby. Like she's just so aesthetic, motivating, and a truly inspiring individual. 😭💖💖💖
I have to wake up at 5am and it's 11:40 here in India but I'm going to finish this video right now and hustle tomorrow because RUBY is a ✨priority✨
Hey! Your dedication is admirable, but please make sure you get enough sleep too! It‘s important to rest to get new energy and stay healthy!
My inspiration is Hermione Granger,and your Hermione tutorials have helped me so much 🤗🤗📖📖📖📖📚📚📚📚📚📚

I think a video on how to decide on uni modules would be cool. By the way are you doing second or final year?
My most favourite module was on Greek Myths i was so sad when it ended :( The post mod depression was so bad. My second favourite was on Archaeology. Both modules had the best professors, who made learning so much fun. I miss those good old days.
Exercise is such an awesome way to recover from mental fatigue of school and work load. It's so easy to neglect this but it does wonders to our productivity! Inspiring video :)
I can’t believe how disciplined you are! I’m really trying to move more into that direction myself, so this is so inspiring.
I just wanted to say thank you for your videos. lately I've been very unmotivated, especially in relation to college. your videos help me a lot
We're actually not allowed to have our cameras on during online classes, because the program my university uses can't handly that many video screens. It sucks, because it would help me so much with being able to concentrate!

Love from a small youtuber 🖤
i am really liking this new arrangement of your bedroom Ruby , its looks like your bedroom has got lot more free space

Ruby inspires me to study . It's like even if I only see her face ,it tells me to study .
Thanks Ruby
your videos renew my will to live tbh
I loved hearing more about the short story today. I would love if you talked even more about your actual studies and what you are learning :)
As always, this is so educative. I love your videos and, vlogs are specifically my favorte ones. :D
