New Desk Set-Up & iMac unboxing (productive vlog)

[@enridalakianglyngdoh1430]

Been here since your school days, and still here! I love your videos. So inspiring, and motivating.

[@RubyGranger8]

Thank you for being here for such a long time!

[@sophiemorgan_]

all your achievements are down to your passion and dedication - congratulations on finishing uni and everything you’ve achieved!! Your capabilities are endless and your kindness has so much power ❤️ lots of love xx

[@daisley236]

Been a fan of you since the start of 2020! Love your videos, they always make me motivated

[@RubyGranger8]

Ah thank you for joining me over lockdown and beyond :)) xx

[@jamieraintree]

I just got an iMac earlier this year and it is a game changer for school work! I love having the big screen and being able to snap research on one side and my notes on the other. This has streamlined my workflow so much! Congrats on getting yours! I'm sure you going to love having it when you start grad school. :)

[@rochellavanderwal9320]

I had an Imac when I worked for Apple and I can definitely understand how excited you were to open this!! I've been here since you were doing secondary school and now you've finished Uni!!! I can't quite believe how long I've been here, but I'm still excited to watch your videos, so I'd say keep going!

[@RubyGranger8]

It is the most satisfying thing to open and seriously probably the best thing I've decided to buy! And thank you for being here for so long! That's an incredibly long time!

[@LilyBug32]

When Ruby said she was writing in the second card my head shot up. Suddenly I'm shouting out my phone! "The price, Rubes! Rubes! The price!" I do the same every time. 😂

Hi Ruby! I am a Korean subscriber I am not good at English, but I respect Ruby's video and your hard work, and I want to be a diligent person like you in the future, so I think I always healing whenever I watch your video. Thank you so much for posting the video🥰

[@RubyGranger8]

Your English is excellent! What are you saying! And thank you so much for being here :) to describe these videos as healing is a huge compliment... which are your favourites of my videos? x

[@서영-b8d]

@@RubyGranger8 Because I like you enough to think of you as a role model, all your videos were really good and even reading became my hobby thanks to you and I am 16 years old Is there any book that you enjoyed the most when you were my age? (Thank you so much for your reply. I had a hard time because of the exam period, but thanks to Ruby, I became happy!!)

Nothing better than a post exam (or graduation) clear out! I’m glad you’re still making videos even if your time at uni is over :)

[@janetrichards5353]

Thank you for sharing so much with us! I have been watching since the pandemic started and I can honestly say you are one of the voices that has helped me through the past few years. I live near Chicago in the USA and as I'm sure you've heard, our culture is going through a bit of a revolution. The division is hard but I hold heart that we ARE making progress toward holding all people up as equals. It's coming in fits and starts. It seems we take two steps forward and one step back every time we speak of anything important which, it seems these days, there are more and more important things to think about every day! This has been a long rambling way of saying that your videos have helped me retain perspective. While my heart often aches for the world, there are many many joys in my daily life! The world is still a magical and beautiful place even as we mold and craft and change it. Thank you for sharing your ups and downs and all the things that excite you! 💜Janet

[@thathijabigirl7797]

Hi Ruby I don’t know if you’ll see this but thanks for being a really nice inspiration to a 13 year old, nice channels like these make youtube a better place and I love all your videos you are what led me to find my aesthetic with vintage things and I love literature too, thanks for the good times 💖 P.S. I've been watching since lockdown and you really helped me focus with everything :)

[@savagemay5623]

hello, Ruby recently I finished my bachelor degree as you did. those 4 years seemed like an eternity at the very beginning but ended up so quickly :) I've been watching your videos since 2017, you became kind of a friend for me really. I remember me sitting in the hall of my uni watching your videos in the early morning to get myself to that "studying" mode. I improved my english thanks to your videos. It was so nice to have the same steps in life as you had like entering the university, passing exams, holidays. I felt that I'm not alone. I love what you are doing and I hope you stay healthy and happy!!

[@victoriawalker7792]

I've been doing my post-uni cleanout too, ready to move out in august. I always love coming back to your channel every now and again (have been watching since late 2017) because we are at similar stages of our lives and I love your perspectives on things. I remember finding it funny when you decided to move onto a new course, because that put your graduation year back in line with mine (I did a 4 year course). You channel reminds me that being orgainsed and productive is a form of self care, and that productivity means so many different things to different people. As you can tell, I started watching around the time we were all applying for Oxford, and honestly Ruby: I think your current path is the best one you could be on. You have been able to build yourself into a professional and thriving brand, which I do not think you would had time for otherwise. I wish you all the success and kindness in the world, and have only one question: I would like to buy your book, but I have a kobo e-reader, not a kindle. Where would I be able to buy it?

A tip regarding monitors and posture/height of chair, you should aim for your line of sight to be level with the top of the screen - according to the health and safety elearning I did at my work anyway!

[@thedaredevilincognito9581]

I've been watching your videos since 2019 and throughout the years, you have been my main inspiration towards self-change & developing passion about academics. You have achieved so much in your life! I love your videos and they keep me motivated all the time! You'll always be one of my heroes ♥️

[@lezeltunbridge7509]

Thanks for the lovely cozy video. I'm going through the hardest times of my life but you have given me some chill time. Please keep doing your thang! 🥰

[@Zoe-yh9sn]

I am currently in the process of switching from my uni history class to English. Your videos are a great inspiration and comfort during this time. I hope to turn out as well spoken, kind and clever as you one day, Ruby! I've been following your journey for a long time now and still your videos provide so much happiness for me. Thank you!

[@Leah-ys6bg]

Ruby, thank you for bringing me peace on such a hard day and showing me there are still good people out there

[@janetrichards5353]

So sorry to hear this has happened. Please take care of yourself and give yourself time to process this shock but also, please still gather with your friends. We need each other more when things like this happen. I'm in America and we are going through ALOT right now but I find with my loved ones standing in my heart, I can process a little bit better. Still don't understand how people can be so heinous to each other, but I can still look forward. Many hugs to you!

Damn that sucks! Hating someone simply because they’re different is so vile and stupid! Remember that the main job of terrorists is to create fear, so don’t hold yourself any less pridefully!

Hey Ruby, maybe your room tends to get messy quickly because of how many things there are in a small space? I don't know, I found that once I moved things out of my room it was much harder to get messy. It sucked but eventually I found it to be worth it 😅

Have a Mac Mini M1 last December 21 for my birthday present and for my University studies, and I will be studying Digital Media. I have Apple mice and a keyboard for it. I have a monitor connected to Mac Mini, replacing my MacBook Pro 2015 with this new Mac. I am thrilled; it existed, expensive and lucky to have upgraded my Mac. It is a lovely Mac and invested for me. It is in sync with my iPad Pro and kind of MacBook Pro. My monitor stands on top of the Mac, and my pasture and anyone else is reasonable. I had used an Apple sidecar for the external display of my iPad Pro. I had tried, used Duet display and Splashtop Wired XDisplay, I think is called.

[@fluffytummy133]

Hi, so just wanted to let you know that the sounds in the video keeps going up and down and up and down. The music is too loud, so I lower the volume, but then it stops and you start speaking, only I can't hear you. So, of course, I turn the volume up, only to be hit by loud music when it comes. Thought u might want to avoid this problem in future videos.

[@alinashaikh5284]

Its weird watching your videos tight now because I'm just done with school and that in itself is bringing so much uncertainty with it. The main reason is that i don't know where I'll be this time next year and i can't imagine what its like when your done with university. I mean you loose the structure that has been handed out to u (if that makes sense), and you have to figure stuff out on your own. But I guess that with the uncertainty and responsibility you also have the freedom and independence to explore new beginnings...anyways I'm rambling but lots of love 🤍✨

different systems work well for different people so it won't be for everyone, but I've designed it to include everything you might need as a student :) if you enjoy planning and are set daily tasks from school, it might be a good choice, but if you prefer long to do lists, something like notion or even our master to do list might be a better choice :)x
