Frequently Asked Questions:
😇 How old are you? 22
📝 What are you studying? I just finished studying English Literature at the University of Exeter. But we are students for life, and I hope that I will continue learning even though I am out of structured education.
📚What are your favourite books? • 200 book recommendatio...
📝 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

[@emerald39]

Yes, but also don't forget this is one of her 3 video idea/concepts, she needs to put this same type of video every year to keep her channel & business ticking over Also if you are actually in school and watching this, ask your teacher for help and they will work with you on what need to be organised

In year 9 of secondary, I discovered that I had always associated a colour with a subject and, when I started my GCSEs, it was so much easier to just write all my notes with shades of that colour and black and I’d bring that colour to the exam as a highlighter and it would jog my memory. I plan to do this for my actual GCSE exams this year. Let’s hope it works out for me and all those that want to try this! :)

[@omari9593]

Absolutely - its fascinating how we associate colours / patterns / items with different things!

[@khalilahd.]

Couldn’t agree more 💜

[@ameliapc3943]

for sixth form I actually ended up with a day folder, a week folder and then subject folders. as someone who walks to school minimising what I carry is really important so I only bought what I needed which fit in quite a thin binder. this worked best for me but it means you need to be very organized in the evening otherwise you might forget work. every week or two I would put stuff in my subject ones

[@sarahmayhoub8966]

I think tip number 17 which is write down all the material that you have studied this week is such a brilliant idea! it should take number 1 place in my not so humble opinion! such a useful thing to incorporate in ones routine!!!!

[@khalilahd.]

Your tips are so helpful and creative (especially the homework sticky notes, I love that idea) it’s so nice that you still make these videos to help others even though you’re not in school anymore. It’s so helpful 💜

This is my first autumn without starting new academic year... so I truly understand you, Ruby. I feel rather sad but well, I guess it is time for new chapter. I am very glad that you still make content about studying! You warm up my study-lover heart! I won't use these advice at uni but I am positive that some of them I will implement in my everyday life, organising between household duties, work and selfcare. Thank you for everything! I wish you all the best ❤️ hugs from Poland!

I’ve followed you for a couple of years now and I’ve always loved your content. I wish so badly that I could’ve watched your content when I was a student, it would’ve helped so much! I graduated in 2015 but still dabble with education when I can. You’re the student I always aspired to be but sadly never succeeded. Thank you for all you do for this community,best of luck with all of your future endeavours. 🖤

These videos make me want to study so much but I’m two years out of my masters with no intention of returning to studies. However…… I’m thinking I really need to somehow save all of these videos for my future daughter……it will be at least a decade before she can use them 😅 Hopefully they’re still up then!! So glad you’re still doing school videos Ruby!!!

Your videos are so helpful. A lot of studytubers give tips that are so obvious, but your tips are actually nuanced.

[@Murofly]

I wish I saw Ruby's videos when I was in school. I never put any effort in. These videos make me really regret that, if I had this shining example of how to study I know I could have learnt so much more and appreciated my education. Still glad that someone like me might see these videos and it will help them to realise how precious and fortunate school really is.

Thanks for this video, it was unbelievably helpful! Your back to school videos (old and new) have been my favs recently and this one is the best so far. Xx

[@tournesol3030]

I really liked the video ! I'll share my experience with planning & organization because maybe some people will relate ? All of it is based on "I love the aesthetic but I know it will never work for me because my brain hates to do a lot of organization stuff every day/week" And globally organization is really personal : a good organization system is one that works well with your brain and that you can maintain in the long-term, even in the most hectic times, so maybe a more simple or different way of organizing can works better for you. I tend to use notebooks and not a big binder because I *know* I will never sort my notes into the right binders at home, and with notebooks I can just stock in there everything I need to the subject (including loose paper the professor hand us) and I can just grab it and go to class with it. Deciding how my notes will look like before i take them (on the notebook i have to choose on which page i write & stuff) works way better for me than after i take them (in a binder) Same thing with the planner, yours look really great but I just know my brain will explode with so many informations ! I just use a tiny weekly planner, because i don't like digital planners and if i don't write down everything i *will* plan two stuff at the same time and then have to cancel one of them, so yeah my tiny planner is my second brain and it needs to be tiny (A6) and light so i can carry it everywhere I really agree with "your notes don't have to be aesthetics" my notes look like one of a sixth-grader and it's the way I like because 1. I don't wanna use my pretty notebooks for school because I won't use it freely and 2. I don''t wanna spend time with cute decorations when I need to study Also professors usually love to talk about their subject and their course so they'll probably love explaining to you stuff you havent understood ! I love talking with my professors at the end of class So yeah this is a lot of words mainly to remind you that Ruby is a highly organized person (if you think about it this is kinda what she does for a living with her youtube channel ! even though she does a lot of other work for it too of course :) and you don't need to be *that* organized to be organized, and also every person works different and your brain probably won't like some of her advice, and like some of them !

Hey Ruby! Now that you're out of university, is there any chance that you will create a non-academic daily planner? I love the format of your academic planners, but I'm no longer in school, so it doesn't make sense for me to purchase. But I'd totally buy a regular daily planner from you!

Good tips, but there was a fair bit of repetition too - I can see how ”50 tips” is a nice title, but with a bit of editing and just a bit more thought, you could make it pithier and easier to apply to one’s individual situation.

[@minimal13579]

It's so wild that school children these days have access to the specifications of their subject. In my day, we just ambled along with whatever teachers told us, hoping we'd remember it in exams, with no clue as to how things are structured or what's important and why. 😂 We didn't even have the internet at my house (and certainly not at school) so researching things was just not a thing.

[@qhaireeniqa7936]

Thank you so much🥰🥰 Eventhough I am not going to school but it is very useful..

[@victoriageorgopoulou4292]

Hello Ruby, it just occurred to me, during your writing year, if it fits with how you envision it, you might consider dedicating a few hours per week, attending a super interesting series of lectures/webinars or module in your field (either free or with fees). Especially something that is simultaneously inspiring and adds to your skills as a writer. For instance, paying to attend one postgraduate module at a nearby University 3 for hours per week or joining an authors' group where they meet up for mutual support while they go through the writing process...etc etc...
