Well eve and jade (and now Jack) are going about everywhere with no thought about the pandemic. Just shows how these “influencers” have no regard for rules and think they are above the law
Didn’t Ibz Mo shade him a bit in his Harvard rejection video?
Does Jack give anyone else massive Narcissist vibes? He really can’t take even mild criticism well.
I think a lot of these studytubers will do masters just to prolong their YouTube careers tbh.

Now, if this doesn't sound like Jack, I don't know what does :/

Why is he making such a big deal about living alone? All the stuff about how he can’t look after plants, doesn’t do the washing up, can’t cook for himself etc - it doesn’t make sense because he’s been a student living on his own for the last three years?! Jack seems to base his own personality on being “chaotic” but he’s 21 and acts like a child. Needs to grow the fuck up and just act like an adult without making a huge show about shit that people do every day 
Didn’t someone say that he unlisted the videos earlier this year, though? It just happened to be discovered here around the time decisions came out, but someone said they’d been unlisted for weeks.
Idk, I’m inclined to believe him. In a Q&A video last year he said he wasn’t bothering with master’s applications. Also, if he was waitlisted why would he say he isn’t doing a master’s at all - wouldn’t he wait to see the outcome of the waitlist?
Also he needs to stop with the tweets where he “addresses” stuff that have only been spoken about on here lol.

Howwww did he make it through uni without learning to budget batch cook 
(and How is his book at all representative if he didn't!!!)
(and How is his book at all representative if he didn't!!!)Ok so the course he applied for is "World Literatures" at quite a white university, as a male. I don't mean to make this so sjw but can't he understand why he might not have got the place? Isn't it time that other voices should be heard?
Edit: ngl him getting so defensive about me asking a question has really irritated me all morning. I guess I am no less petty than him.

Stop going on about the fact you're 1st gen and went to a state school. 95% of the UK population went to state schools, it doesn't mean you're poor.

Found this tone deaf and rude af as well. If you wanted solitude on Christmas day, maybe you should have stayed in London in your flat, Jack. I don't care that he's joking or being ironic. So many people couldn't spend time with their loved ones this year due to illness, loss, travel bans or safety concerns. Do any of these kids do something other than check their stats on social media, and read some news? Smh.
It seems odd to me to describe a degree as a ‘service’ you are paying for. I don’t want to get into semantics, but I am concerned about the emphasis on students as consumers - rather than being equipped with the tools for independent learning - and the marketisation of education in recent years, perhaps inevitably with higher tuition fees.
I think that if you put your life online and make a living from it, it’s inevitable that people will ask questions and to suggest otherwise is quite pretentious. I don’t understand why he says he had taken steps away from social media when this is clearly not the case: without it, nobody would know him.
It’s probably not for me to question someone’s intentions, but it seems to me that a lot of influencers make a platform for themselves by sharing their life online and then moan something chronic when people ask questions or hold them to account.
(Rant over!)

It's his choice, but I always found the fixation with Oxford rather sad when there are so many great postgrad programs out there.
I am not sure what literary era he's going for, but Oxford is not great if you want to study more contemporary literature, which he seems interested in. I did an MPhil in American Literature at Cambridge and now I'm doing a PhD in the same area, and I didn't even bother with Oxford, considering contemporary and American are not their strongest areas. It just seems like he can't let that dream go, when I think he could thrive in a more modern environment.

Ibz is going to Oxford... that's gonna hurt.
It wasn't me that said it but I did agree (worked in admissions for years), reapplying again isn't a good look, unless (as stated) you have actively done something to improve on your last application. Just reapplying without improving yourself/your application will not do you any favours.
I can't speak for Oxford but yes university systems do match previous records as it picks up names and date of births and merge. Well some do anyway. Again I can't speak for Oxford.
And in some instances names and circumstances are most certainly remembered.

I think he’s trying to transfer from one niche to another but failing. He was one of the leaders of the UK studytube videos but now he’s entering into booktube which is already oversaturated with similar creators. Jack just so happens to already have an established audience because of his study videos so he’s doing slightly better. I think the transition would’ve been better received had he integrated the style of videos he's making now more in the past. The celebrity videos are a good idea from a views standpoint and fandoms will share them so he doesn’t have to promote them as much, but I don’t know how long his current ideas will be able to stretch before they get stale.
