Night Routine of an English Student at Oxford

[@dibaro.]

So, I have made it a routine now.. I literally make sure to watch atleast 1 video of ruby every single day. She is just so so inspirational, I've managed to study consistently for long hours and focus for 12 hours every day. Ruby if you're reading this just know that you've been my greatest source of motivation since 2017. Thank you for being such an inspirational creator in this platform ❤️ thank you ruby

[@vlacheda]

You don't have to concentrate for 12 hours a day, it's harmful to your health.

[@a.bhardwaj8262]

congrats, just make sure to include any form of exercise, I'm trying to incorporate work for 7 and read for 4+ hours.

[@giuliarizzo344]

Impressive discipline but let me sar you a piece of advice, you should not study so many hours for several reasons, firstly because it is proven not effective for learning and secondly because it is detrimental to your mental and physical health and will lead you to burnout, look at Ruby, she does not study twelve hours unless it is special cases, her life is rich and she also takes care of her physical and mental health, she exercises, walks, does skincare, eats enough and well and finds time to do the things she likes besides being consistent with studying, you can't do all this by studying 12 hours a day

Ruby jst gives Hermione in a way

Yea definitely

She is Hermione

Yea. 100% 😁

I agree. She is a vibe :)

[@ТатьянаОболенская-к4н]

The way you are able to stick to so many habits even after a long day of studying is very impressive. I'm nowhere near as disciplined! But thank you for the idea to integrate dissertation work, even if it's just for 5-10 minutes, into your routine. The enormity of the task makes me procrastinate and i flinch when i even think about it :(

[@sarahaasheim5903]

I would love to see a commonplace video! How is it different from bullet journaling?

[@RubyGranger8]

It’s very different! It actually originates from the 1600s and John Locke!

[@Aurora-zr3cp]

I would definitely love to see a commonplace video also!

[@mavensjournal.]

count me in!

[@Marymooau]

It originated in Ancient Greece and Rome to record learnings and musings. :-)

[@cedarplace1]

I'd like to see one too. Sounds fascinating

[@Janie_chiz]

Hi. I just wanted to say thank you as i am a year 8 and before i started watching you a found my self not being able to keep concentration for more than 10 minutes , however since then i have progressed and can easily do 2-3 hours and can now read properly in whit h before i had to use coloured overlays , i know that no one will probably see this but i just wanted to say thank. You xx

[@njxdnuxcywmexdnynzpxbavoch9691]

I literally leave it playing while working. The tone and the sound of Ruby's voice bring me a piece. It doesn't matter what's going on. Just like that, a few words and the clouds are gone.

[@ellenmeabhdhobrienhall4645]

Adore this video.. Five years since I completed my masters. Ruby you always spark a hunger for study in me. Although with a 3 month old now that is my little study for now. 🥰

[@lindalongo3250]

Watching your videos gives me an amount of motivation and energy that makes me able to go ahead with my studies even when I'm too demotivated or tired. I could watch your videos again and again just to catch that sparkle I need to go ahead and study even more, until you release a new one, which is always a blessing. Thank you

[@RachayaTanterdtid]

For moisturiser, I’ve been using Cerave lately. My face doesn’t feel dry or itchy at all.

[@tisadominika8385]

same, my favourite is the cerave pm moisturiser

[@RachayaTanterdtid]

@@tisadominika8385 my favourite is the moisturising cream. The texture is thick, but it doesn’t make your face greasy. I used it on the plane when I went to France. The PM one was also a good product to use on the plane, too.

[@FrederiqueGaudreau]

I’m very impressed by the dedication you have about learning in general and I envy you a little in that way. You have a sort of calming aura about you as well that makes it so easy to watch your videos. As of moisturizers, I recommend anything Clinique if you can get your hands on it!

[@cameronadkins]

I love these Oxford videos you’re doing! I’m actually an American studying for my bachelors in teaching social studies (what the US calls humanities) and English and have considered teaching in the UK and am looking for post-secondary courses in the UK for training and licensure. I love seeing these UK college experiences on my favorite cottagecore channel! Lots of love from the US, Ruby!

[@magurio1877]

that is a nice and cosy dorm room. perfectly conducive for both study and relaxation.

[@annabellejones2257]

Ruby’s energy is so motivating 🤍

[@BloomsburyVintage]

Thank you for these videos. They are so relaxing. I live in America now but I lived in Europe for 13 years and miss it so much. I know you are in England, but this is still so nostalgic for me as I spent a lot of time in England. Appreciate your aesthetic and wonderful outlook on life! 🌸

[@anitas5817]

Ruby, you are quite good at set shifting and I am not at all. You are able to jump from thing to thing for short periods of time, whereas I need extended periods of time with deep concentration. You are obviously an excellent learner and I find it interesting what works for different people. I have a doctorate degree so have been successful academically as well. I absolutely love your videos and thank you so much for sharing your Oxford experience with us.

[@ТатьянаОболенская-к4н]

I agree, having so much little tasks every evening would be both intimidating and distracting for me. I prefer focus on one thing at a time for at least an hour. I always found it bizarre how Ruby is able to read while brushing her teeth. Don't get me wrong, i LOVE reading and I don't have to push myself to read at all, but reading for 2-3 minutes and then going back to washing my face feels like absolute torture

[@anitas5817]

@@ТатьянаОболенская-к4нYes! I need the continuity. I also don’t know how she does it.

[@philipswain4122]

Thanks Ruby. You really help me in my legal practice. I use a commonplace book to brief new jurisprudence. I find this technique helps distill very complex legal matters and provides inspiration when I write opinion.

[@Cheriebuns]

It's been three years since I last watched your videos and so many things has happened since then. Tonight, I randomly thought of you and decided to watch your vlog again. Seeing the same outro brought a comforting sense of nostalgia ❤

[@littlephoenix]

Please make a video about using a commonplace book!!❤💕

[@virginiaraine2207]

Those dance workouts look so nice and I know when I do yoga or something more relaxed it helps my body feel so much more at ease in the evening!

[@josephinerunci6052]

Since you like Greek tragedies I just wanted to let you know that in Siracusa(Sicily) a festival of the Greek tragedy is yearly held in May. Basically it's about going to the performances in the Greek theatre in the city but I don't actually know if they have any other related actiivities. Sicily is full of Greek theatres by the way( there's even one in Taormina). I've also noticed you started Latin. It's good considering that not so many british people study ancient languages. Good luck with everything!

[@imchristinac]

Weleda skin food is a great moisturiser. There’s also a light version which is slightly less heavy. They’re also a cruelty free brand.

[@kpaxian6044]

I love skin food!

[@32446]

I love this moisturiser too.

[@SeerOfTime577]

Wonderful video, Ruby! They always bring me peace.

[@nn47301]

A good moisturizer for you: CeraVe moisturizing cream. I watch A LOT of dermatologist KZbin channels and they ALL love this moisturizer. I use it myself and I love it.

[@ΕύηΑυλωνίτη]

When i was 12 (2017) i watched your every video (my favs were hermione granger ones). Now i am 18, soon 19, and i am so happy that i had a chance to grow up with you, watching your videos and watching you getting older. Its so lovely ❤️

[@mxdmo]

8:22 highly recommend The Body Shop’s moisturisers… my two personal favs are the Vitamin C and Vitamin E moisturisers. I use the Vit C one religiously day and night and it brings such a healthy glow to my skin and it feels great when applying !

You are an inspiration Ruby! I'm living in France for the moment and learning french and your videos are a real comfort. Good luck with your studies!!

Oooooooooh I would love to study French. Thinking about doing a level French as I used to enjoy doing the subject at school.

[@gertrudebath6792]

you should do it!!! and then go to france!

[@dogood7337]

French products are the best when it comes to skincare, especially if they are made with thermal water: Uriage, Avene, La Roche-Posay, Bioderma are some of the most known brands and with the most efficient ingredients based on your skin type.

[@pinkeysherbet7249]

As far as moisturizer: I use plain old Cetaphil. I like having one product that works on my face and body and it’s not terribly expensive. It’s also generally good for sensitive skin.

[@CW-xv2um]

The brand Simple is really nice - try that for moisturiser and facial wipes/washes etc.

[@rubenvictorinobalderas9530]

You're a complete bookworm , I have to say I'm really impressed cause I have alot of things in common

[@kariannszemethy3050]

I would thoroughly enjoy a video about common-placing as it is something I would like to start! Also, I find moisturizing works best when your skin surface is still wet so that it permeates the layers rather than remaining tacky on the surface!

[@mariaGreenDay4ever]

Peripatitic is actually a greek word , that means one who can walk and is used in greece by doctors to describe a patient

[@angelagotz729]

Hi Ruby, I would love to see a video about how you use your common place book:) Love from Germany!

[@PumpkinMozie]

I totally agree with the vocabulary exercise. It’s absolutely essential if you’re studying a foreign language but also I think it’s great for your first language too. Definitely want to try that because I keep a list of new words that I find while reading and I should practice them haha

[@paulac.munoztorres]

haven't been through your channel for a long time, and the colder weather drives me to your channel to catch up with the studious and soft academic. you are a role model for me but i somehow feel like i've known you for years like a close friend. Nevermind, great video ruby, i would love to see a video about commonplacing and how you do it. Have a lovely and productive week.

[@RubyGranger8]

Ah Paula, this is such a lovely comment - thank you for being here

[@_sara.deangelis]

Ruby. This is a very important tip. The moisturizer acts as a top coats to your skin care routine. Therefore if you do not put moisturizer on the serum won’t fully get absorbed by the skin and just evaporate.

[@well-blazeredman6187]

What a tidy room! Like the fast-forwarding technique you use in these videos.

[@tafhimak8690]

Highly recommend the Avene XeraCalm replenishing balm - it's got no fragrance and it's the only cream that actually soothes my redness/acne, it's so nice as a night cream after a long day of being outside in the winter cold!

[@rhythmicelegance4670]

I don’t moisturise either, unless I really have to on rare occasion. When I do, I use an organic rose water mist with glycerin. It doesn’t have toxins like many products contain.

[@akow8]

Cerave moisturizer has been a game changer for me! A must for my morning and night skin care routine :^)

[@ellaclen]

Definitely use a moisturiser! If you struggle to find one due to sensitive skin then I’d say try the Avene Tolerance Total Soothing Skin Recovery Cream. Nice and basic and not too expensive :) the Elf Holy Hydration is lovely too and fragrance free.

Hi Ruby!! For a simple moisturizer, I've been really enjoying the Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer, it's very light and has healed my skin in a day or so when it felt irritated at one point from the retinol I was using. Anyhow, it's a very simple, and very effective moisturizer!!

Also for a good moisturizer I personally love the Belif water cream and the aqua bomb. One is like a gel moisturizer the cream is obviously a cream but its the same smell and the cream is smooth. A good similar product is the Nuetrogena gel balm both are really nice and very hydrating. And for something thicker if you get windburn or really dry skin during. thewinter is the Avene Balm its thick but very nice to put on the cheeks when you get really raw skin due to the cold!

Banilla Co Miss flower and Mr honey lotion not the cream but the rejuvenating lotion works really well as a moisturizer for me it’s good for sensitive skin and it’s got propolis in it. It sinks into the skin quite fast and leaves a nice dewy look without feeling heavy and greasy on the skin.

I do the same thing with vocabulary. It could be entirely new/unfamiliar words that I don't know, or words that I know but never use, or words that I'm not entirely certain I could use in a sentence. I keep a list then I practice writing sentences with them. Sometimes it turns into a really good writing session. I've been doing this for over 20 years.

Another moisturiser recommendation for those who are not a fan of most moisturisers: Dr Organic's Rose Otto Day Cream. Highly recommend. Thanks for all you do, Ruby! Love the inclusion of your UV light phone cleaner in this video; UV, especially UV-C is showing great potential at eliminating many kinds of viral, fungal and bacterial particles from the air, so I imagine if the cleaner is calibrated appropriately it really is cleaning your phone screen!
