Study With Me (& stress about essays!)

[@d.s.syiemlieh2700]

I've been procrastinating a lot lately AND ITS EXAM WEEK! I needed this video to reset myself.... thank you Ruby

[@SI-rv9te]

You got this💪

[@kamilakere4312]

Good luck! You can do it ❤️

[@15meghanapagidipala9h3]

Me too . But you got this mate

[@cvoigt4933]

Yesss, I'm like not working enough at all. I skipp way to many things and start learning to late. You are absolutely not the only one. You got this❤💫

[@kevinp9110]

how do you deal with studying in cold shillong winter?

[@Meg_intheclouds]

Omg the research thing- I do that too! I call it my wonderland time because I can let myself fall down an internet rabbit hole for 30 mins everyday and it’s great to relax and just keep that love of learning.

[@lm868]

Omg how cool is that!! I need to implement that into my life, thank you for the inspiration 😊

[@Not.itslucia]

OMG! I should probably import that into my life since I've got many dark fascinations that I would love to learn more about, but I've got so much to do at the moment and I don't have any time to do extra stuff - I don't even have time to eat or sleep sometimes!

[@khalilahd.]

This just motivated me to stop procrastinating and actually get to work. Hope you’re doing well and good luck to everyone studying ☺️

[@randallsheetz4545]

Although I am not a student, you must be a tremendous inspiration for today's students. I would like to think that if KZbin had been around when I was a student, your videos would have been a motivation to be a better one. I have hope for your generation precisely because of you.

[@larakern9879]

Dear Ruby, I want to say that I am so incredibly grateful that you post youtube videos! Thanks to you, I became the best version of myself, as I do like studying but I never really embraced it the way I do since I watch your videos. You made me so much more productive and I also experienced the hygge-feeling you mentioned in one of your videos while studying. Now, I am the same bookworm I have been when I was younger, I love studying and do it quite a lot and I listen to a lot of classical music, all thanks to you and your KZbin videos. They made me quaint, grateful and more attentive to the small things in life ❤

[@lizameis5270]

Just a tip on saving time when doing citations/references: There are programmes that essentially do it for you!!✨🙏🏼😍 Personally, I use “zotero’. But a friend of mine, who studies English and German, uses “citavi” and is really happy with it☺️ Essentially, you add the books, articles etc. into a database once and then you can add them in word/libreoffice/pages etc. For zotero, there’s also a browser extension which automatically detects the meta-data of a book/article etc. and you literally have to click once to have all the information added into your database✨ And of course the programmes automatically do a bibliography for you, too. And you can choose between different citation styles etc. These programmes have saved me sooo much time and I always wonder why they are not more popular with students. It takes about five minutes to get the basics and saves time and also means less errors in citations🥳 would very much recommend trying it🤓✨ That being said, such a lovely video, Ruby! I enjoy these types of videos (minus you being stressed of course) so much, thank you for uploading them🥰

[@sillygoosegoose]

i always write the reference at the top when making notes on a reading. then when it comes time to do the reference list, i just copy in the references i've preprepared, so it all takes a lot less time (or, at least, the time is split up so it seems less cumbersome). also, word documents have a handy button in the top bar by all the indenting options that orders your reference list for you. it looks like an A over a Z with a downwards arrow next to it. saves a lot of time alphabetising it all and i couldn't believe i didn't know about it before.

[@duck6100]

Consider learning how to use a reference manager like mendeley

[@UniceLiu]

your study with me’s are so motivating! they always make me want to be more productive :)

[@tigerlily09]

I just finished today all my exams and I am feeling kind of miserable (because of some other things of course) and unproductive. And yet here you are with a new video making my day! Thank you Ruby for being here and always uploading when I need you. You really help me academically and mentally! Sending you love and stay safe💗

[@Randomsingingdude]

Your study with me’s always make me so extremely motivated to study!!! Thank you so much for your videos, Ruby!!!!!

[@maaayisha]

I got exams in 2 months and whenever I’m feeling down your videos are what sends me back to table ! Thanks Lovely lady ✨✨🌻❤️

[@larrivestephanie6044]

There’s a website you can use to make all your references! You just put in the reference or link of your article and it does it for you with any style you want (you can choose like Cambridge, Oxford style etc), and they put it in alphabetical order too. I’ll give you the name of the site when I get home if you’re interested! Amazing video btw❤️

[@pamelarojas7754]

I'd love to know the name :) sounds amazing

[@1evonvielen]

This would be super helpful!

[@kajatuki8218]

I use it too and it‘s called „Citavi“

[@lvsmagic]

Not sure if it's this one but I used Citation Machine!

[@pamelarojas7754]

Thank you🥰

[@hannahkazmi1463]

Your walks are so majestic and magical, they remind me of an excerpt from The Secret Garden: "The big closed house and big bare moor and big bare gardens had made this one feel as if there was no one left in the world but herself." It’s just beautiful.

[@jojomarch]

Congratulations on your 80's mark, so good. I was so happy when I got marks this high last year for essays, I hope it gives you confidence for the rest of the year. I'm so surprised you do refs at the end! this would be the end of me!! Honestly try doing them as you go, it's *so* much quicker. I just copy and paste mine in from the google scholar citation thing, or even just from the top of the paper, then I format them all at the end. Even if you have some you don't use it's so quick to scan through and check for any you didn't use and delete from the list. I did this bit for an essay I submitted this week w 50 references and it took a few minutes.

[@mingb.]

Hey Ruby, I was wondering if you have ever considered getting an extra monitor to use for your studies? It really helps alot when doing research and writing papers, especially with mental clutter and stress that comes from having to switch back and forth between tabs and the file(s) you are working on at that moment. I know they don't exactly fit in with the aesthetic of your room, but perhaps it's an option to get a small one that is stored away easily when you don't want to use it?

[@ml3677]

She can use her iPad, and she can use it as a monitor since she has a MacBook. (Tip: update to the latest version of MacOS and iPadOS, so that feature can work perfectly).

[@sripradhaiyengar9980]

Omg! Ever since I got a second monitor, I have been meaning to suggest that here and I keep forgetting! @ML that sounds like a wonderful option!

[@ml3677]

@@sripradhaiyengar9980 YEAH!

[@TheFlowerGirl77]

Hi Ruby: I just want to say I truly loved this video because not only did you honestly acknowledge that this essay was overwhelming you but you stepped away and allowed yourself to put your mental health first by taking a walk and, later, a break. Although they may not have written the essay for you, you allowed yourself the necessary space to not let it break you down and that is beautiful. Then, after you had submitted it, you gave yourself individual space to destress before the next taxing academic task. It is crucial for those watching Study Tube and Study Tubers to realise you all are real human beings who have highs and lows, stresses and utter joys. Academics is just as much a taxing thing, at times, as it is for everyone else. Thank you Ruby. ❤️, 🌹

[@gemsyvids5790]

I've needed this! Some motivation to keep me going at the end of a hard month! Thank you for posting amazing content that never fails to make me feel energized and ready to work.

[@lulu-in4gs]

After next week will be my first time in university (in my country, school and most universities start at February). It was very hard to get in college, lot of pressure and stress, but watching your videos it was just so inspiring and a source of motivation. Thanks for being one of the few people who helped me don't giving up❤️ Edit: my English is kind rusty, I'm sorry.

[@selen7138]

your landscapes even make me thankful for this gorgeous world we are living in!You must be quite appreciated the nature around you..

[@misslotje101]

Loved the honesty about the stress, I could really relate to this video! Thanks Ruby

[@billoddy5637]

Such a nice view from your windows. I don’t know how a literature essay can be perfect in the first place. That’s why I like science. In science, when something is perfect, it’s obvious.

[@abigailhassan9400]

Ruby, I have been studying and feeling bored recently when I saw you upload a new video, thank you so much Ruby ! It lifted my heart ❤

[@ellaroberts2336]

you can put the references in word, there is an option at the top which puts them in alphabetical for you, saves so much time :)

[@toddbelanger1923]

I can see why so many people adore you...your so hard working... Earning everything... Very kind soul...just a nice person when all said and done....videos are really well done too...fun and educational... Great job young lady..Mini yahoo...lol

[@Sofiella]

I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now and it’s lovely to see how far you’ve come. Also I’m so proud of you for your amazing feedback. It’s very much deserved!

[@amreenfatima4130]

The place where you love gives me such huge green gables vibe, It’s just so pretty and serene🥰❤️

[@deepthivunnam9381]

Hi Ruby!I just wanted to say I've watched you from your 15 hour study day and have been hooked since then.You give me a sense of calm and stability and helped me grow as a person,all these years.Thank you so much for being you and creating such amazing content.Lots of love,from India.You've helped me through some really tough times.thank you 💫❤️

[@anto-yf5dd]

what comfort this video gave me! Seeing the countryside just cured me

[@jl5749]

ahhh I really needed this right now with the new semester starting!!

[@livie3273]

These videos are not only enjoyable to watch, but also informative. I love that! ❤️

[@BookLoop4]

Wow I'm going to start college this winter. And i already love my college soooo much. They are soo helpful and friendly.. I am so proud of being a part of Cornell university.🥰🥰

[@zebraislife]

I love your videos so much Ruby! Thank you for uploading this! I needed it just this moment!

[@TheSelkie1990]

I do not miss having to write papers! My favorite paper I wrote though was about Juno Diaz' book, the Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. My teacher thought it was so brilliant that she read it to the entire class. I actually got to use my nerdiness about the Lord of the Rings in that one which was so fun. The most fun I ever had writing a paper for school. Now I write personal essays for fun. :)

[@trabajador_]

Love Junot Diaz! One of my favorite authors.

[@georgieraereads5331]

I related so badly to the essay stress in this video - I've been on an emotional rollercoaster with a chapter of my dissertation and feel like I just cannot seem to word it right now matter how many times I've tried to write certain sections. For the ordering of references in your bibliography, as long as you make them in different paragraphs on Word you can then use the A-Z tool and it puts them in alphabetical order for you! (Tip I learnt far too late into my degree and wish I'd known sooner)

[@yourpinterestgirl]

This is literally so perfect I was just about to search "study with me" videos

[@forest_faery]

Thank you for the motiviation, Ruby! :) I think a reference management program like Citavi is extremely helpful. It saves you a lot of time and prevents formal mistakes.

[@joannaforthewin]

I remember your morning walks and I went to the gym this morning. Every day I go to the gym but today I needed a boost.

[@studywithme444]

What a great video! There's something pleasing about watching an analogue clock whiz around. Keep up the good work!

[@chaosking3940]

hey ruby i don't know if you'll read this, but if you're using word to write, save & export the essay (or any paper), you can use the integrated function of putting in references. you'll put them in each individually & then click on "add bibliography" and it'll put that in automatically (in the reference system you use for uni - you can choose that as well!). hope this helps!

[@harsimardharni9715]

video on what to do when burnt out plz!!!!!!!!

[@cecepink1731]

I was so happy to see you stand for a bit with your laptop it’s important. Having experienced back pain myself I’d encourage everyone to switch between standing and sitting if you’re working at a desk. It’s recommended to sit one hour at a time.

[@harshitavlogs]

I missed these kind of videos sooo much! And yay it's back!!!

[@melanies.3713]

Congratulations on your amazing essay grade!🎉 You really deserved it, after working so hard for it! And thank you for this ästhetic and motivating video🥰

[@yashmithakp5449]

Hi Ruby, this video is so scenetic and motivating! Thank you so much for this entertaining study with me😊.

[@fey4874]

I really missed your study with me's. Thank you!

[@nehapremodh8259]

I love ur videos Ruby!! I always look forward to watching it!!! Lots of love from Canada. ❤️

[@emmacopley2007]

I am not sure if you know but I thought it might be helpful, with references if you put them into word and select the a-z button that has an arrow pointing down next to it, this will automatically put them in order rather than having to do it manually, it saves so much time. Hope this helps! 🥰

[@lucypatricia1835]

On word there is a button that orders references alphabetically for you. Saved me alot of time !

[@elsawong1176]

This came at such a perfect time! I have two lab reports to write and I'm just so mentally exhausted. Thank you so much for this video, it makes me feel less alone! Edit: I finished them, and for once, not at the last minute!

[@ameliatahnia]

I don’t know how but this video feels like being wrapped in a blanket next to the fireplace

[@zaaratahreem1821]

I always wait for your videos ruby 😄they are so much satisfying

[@penultimateh766]

Interesting about the ads Ruby, thanks for explaining. You're basically donating your time and bandwidth to their organization, but in order to use their name and footage, you have to declare it.

[@lillianm.7419]

If you're interested in conservation, I would recommend reading The Sixth Extinction!

[@dillonpark7262]

You live in such a beautiful area! Love the scenery in your videos.

[@Abilynn.06]

I needed this! I’m studying today, tomorrow and basically the rest of this week for finals and essays :(

[@tiaanneatherway]

hey ruby, lovely to see another video, and especially cool (as a kiwi) to see you talk about our kākāpō! just thought I’d mention though the first ‘a’ is a long one rather than short (kaa-ka-po) :)

[@bennybelton709]

The bike ride is my favorite!

[@d.s.syiemlieh2700]

I love you Ruby, thank you so much for existing T^T 💛

[@Stylesinger103]

Its amazing video got me to start my assignment! Good idea about doing referencing is to do them as you go saves so much time!!😊😊

[@StudywithVanny]

Ruby you have changed my life so much your such an inspiration, thank you soo much for your vids! Love from germany xxxx

[@myweakness1883]

What a coincidence, I'm also currently writing an essay and I have to submit it by the end of this week. I'm that kind of person who can't just write and then edit afterwards, I keep proofreading and editing with every paragraph I write which can be exhausting 😆 Mine is about second person PoV in narration in two novels that I have chosen. It's a lot of work but it's also really interesting!

[@DG-iu5wh]

Ruby, I absolutely love your videos💕 they’re very unique and different that other video’s. Could you please make a video on how you write your essay’s and how you make notes.

[@ellabartlett850]

You’re doing references by hand 😱 I would really recommend looking into some referencing software (you need one of you plan to stay in academia as different journals require different referencing formats - so being able to change these with just a click is a must). Great video 🙂

[@hirro__o_]

Hey, great video, here's a quick tip that might help in your case ! When I get confused while choosing the best version from my drafts, I simply take an unbiased opinion (may be from a relative or a good friend / also from a parent if you think that they can give you " a true" opinion). It helps to get a fresh perspective !! You can also ask your lecturer or the supervisor if it is possible :) Good Luck for the upcoming exam.

[@jamesnoonan9302]

Everyone knows you're the queen of candles Ruby.

[@jamesnoonan9302]

Her brain just kept plugging away and she was rewarded, wow.

[@chrry_wine]

congrats on your essay, ruby! that’s truly amazing, well done

[@brianna2278]

If you’re using word (and probably if you’re using google doc) you can highlight all your references and click “sort” and I think it’s “paragraph” and make sure “ascending” is clicked and the document will alphabetize them for you

[@duck6100]

I know people are suggesting Zotero as a reference manager but may I suggest mendeley instead. It has a word plug-in so really great functionality for you.

[@graceh.7438]

love a classic study with me!!

[@mu_ha_21]

love the environment

[@KK-jp1by]

Have you thought about recording longer Study with me? For example around 1 or 2 hours?

[@aarusheeshukla1241]

You are sooo inspiring Ruby! I always have something interesting to take back from your video✨

[@jasminec5335]

comfort youtuber forever

[@SamaraMorgan1970]

I totally loved this video but have a small suggestion: I've noticed that in many of your videos, the volume in your voiceover is a lot louder than when you talk to the camera, so I need to adjust my volume every time it changes. Maybe you could try to fix that, but it's no big deal ☺🌻

[@leticiacornish849]

OR EVEN A MEET UP would you consider having a meet up in London maybe with holly too! omg i would love that

[@MarkusSixtenstam]

Hi. I only want to thank you for your wideos. You make me happy again. Thank you

[@ChloeeEWright]

Did you know there was an A-Z sorting list in word that will automatically alphabetically sort out your references. Saves huge amounts of times !!

[@chahak365]

Ruby can you please do a live study with me? they're really motivating

[@bennybelton709]

Thanks for sharing!

[@kazukazu2713]

You will be great👍👍 don't worry

[@victoriageorgopoulou4292]

Hello Ruby, just in case it is of interest to you, could you find something on sleeping practices in the Victorian age? Apparently in the medieval years and maybe even earlier people used to sleep very early of course and there seemed to be a break in the middle of the night, where they would wake up and depending on class, situation etc would do some chores or relax and then go back to sleep!! two-phase sleep .

[@amytc7635]

How do you get up and start working so early in the morning? - you said you had been working since around 7.30... I really struggle to even get up before 9am let alone begin my day. I think lots of us would really appreciate a video or some tips about waking up/finding morning motivation etc etc.

[@alisontaylor6135]

Such a good choice to convert to studying English literature. So pleased your hard work is paying off. xx
