It's really great to see a school essentials list that includes digital stuff, everyone seems to forget about it. So essential but even more so now with working from home so much!! Hope your final year of uni is magical and full of joy 💖🌼

[@dobbysadventures4694]

This is more for me but: - small notebook for writing down anything - folder for loose paper - academic planner - master to do list for weekly goals - calendar set up for important deadlines - small pencil case - a really good pen - page notes - try notion to organise - alarmy make sure you get out of bed and up - voice memos to keep up - a good study playlist - the clock app (setting timers, pomodoro sessions) - screen time limits for social media - easy snacks to have when studying - a nice water bottle - portable charger - earphones - candles (when you feel very motivated light a certain candle to associate that scent with productivity) - a watch

Hey Ruby! I just wanted to give two quick suggestions: 1. Would love to see chatty videos about your 'favourite book of the month' or any book every month. 2. Would love it even more to see you do it with Blakeney. and Thank You❤

[@brownymilk]

Do check my vintage study

[@denisespendel6048]

Tips for people without a desk. Put down a study blanket or use a study lamp that you only turn on while studying. Preparing them the day before helps with making it easier to start..

You're the one KZbinr i genuinely love and never get bored of and one my parents also enjoy watching lol

[@lluiscornet9020]

I'd really love a video explaining the English literature of the XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII... centuries. Like, which books have they told you about at university, etc. Lots of English literature learners would be really grateful!

[@KMort]

Girll I have been using Alarmy since you first mentioned it and I can't live without it now, truly a lifesaver

[@sofiaquinonesbatrientos2660]

I LOVE that these are things that actually make sense during academic year, most KZbinrs list off unnecessary expensive things just because they are trendy.

[@danielacolen]

I feel peace watching your videos… I can’t live this lifestyle in my current routine, but I’m happy that you can! I would love to dedicate myself to study, reading and improving my abilities the way you do! What a beautiful life you built for yourself, Ruby, good for you!

[@knotssoperfect]

this is hands down the most useful back to school essential video. it doesnt focus on aesthetics or expensive stuff, but instead stuff that r accessible and practical

This is perfect for me since my senior year is coming up and i really want it to go smoothly rather than like the other school years, especially since i'll be going to college afterwards

Shes the only youtuber that REALLY motivets me to study and read a lot. Thank you Ruby, you helped me during my VERY hard times of anxiety... I had a lot of panic attacks on my stomacha and I felt like somethung was squeezing my waist and it hurt really bad. I had a very hard time to adapt to my new school, I thought i wasnt enough and that everyone was smarter than me So Thank you thank you thank you.

A note on the masks from a disabled chronic asthmatic who has tried and tried but can't wear one for more than about 5 minutes: If you're exempt and you haven't already spoken to your uni about it, it's really really important that you do! I got a special sticker on my student card which says discreetly that I'm exempt due to my disability and all my lecturers were told as well not to yell at me for it. I actually got it in writing from the disability support at my uni that I was exempt which proved useful when a librarian decided to come and shout at me in the quiet area (I was MORTIFIED). So please any other disabled buddies who have mask exemption, make sure your uni knows! I know masks are becoming less required but it's still important.

[@Yesica1993]

Masks don't block aerosols. Anyone who force muzzles a disabled person, especially one with lung problems belongs in prison!

Some alternatives that I've used: -for the notebook --> journal or sketchbook -for the poly folder --> clipboard, accordion folder, binder -for the academic planner/to do list/calendar --> Bullet journal, digital tools like google drive/keep -for alarmy (which I also use) --> a cheap wifi enabled smart light (eg $15 wiz from walmart) for a sunrise lamp -for miscellaneous bag items --> a small pouch with all the essentials so I can move them between bags easily (gum/mints, sanitizer, tissues, small scissors/stapler/washi tape, chapstick, snacks, portable charger, extra masks, watch, etc.) I get a lot of my container type items from Muji, Miniso, Ikea, or Dollarama/Walmart (in BC in Canada). I recommend keeping things modular, so you can swap categories of items between bags suited for different outtings!

I really needed one of your videos, Ruby. One of my professors just sent an email to me and my classmates saying he will not be our teacher this year. I'm feeling terrible, because he's a really valid professor, the lessons with him were always so nice to follow. The entire class is very sad about this news. Even if this year I changed school in march and spent barely four months there, therefore with that teacher, I'm really upset... Now at least I can relax watching your new video (and probably other videos, especially the readathons!)
