Tbh I don’t want to be the COVID police or anything but rn with the “Indian variant” spreading rapidly, I think it’s very inadvisable to go outside your local area atm. I know we technically can go on holiday within the UK, but just because we can doesn’t mean we necessarily should. She’s probably being cryptic bc she doesn’t want to get hate like Jade or Eve.I don't think anyone would have ago about her going on a holiday in the UK the government restrictions allow it
Yeah sure you can have an interest in something that is out of your field of study, however for certain fields it's very unlikely that a layman (or someone who is studying a completely different subject) would be able to develop an interest for them because they're less accessible. I tried reading my boyfriend's dissertation, it was impossible to understand, obviously, because I've never studied physics at a university level. Conversely he was able to read my own dissertation which is about Anglo-American relations in the 80s because the subject and the language is more accessible.i definitely get the impression she (mainly) says she’s interested in it to sound more intelligent (i know you can have an interest in something without being a pro at it, but still)
*this* is why i can't ever feel sorry for her, despite the fact that she's obviously struggling (though with her own ego, mostly). she's so calculating and manipulative, and it always feels as though she has an ulterior motiveI think the fact that she hasn't said where she is was deliberately calculated to fuel speculation. She can't just be honest and direct, can she?
Or she already has everythingI just need to point this out. I think someone mentioned it before ruby uploaded her birthday haul video. Someone listed up possible birthday presents she might include in said video. The list was almost spot on, children’s books, something posh, something thoughtful from Martha, but there was no “sports equipment, gymnastics equipment etc.” correct me if I’m wrong, but last year I am quite sure ruby received a lot of workout stuff. Again I might be wrong, but maybe her parents do notice her behavior and try to sort it out, even tough it doesn’t show on her social media.
This so much! Especially with the pandemic, a lot of my friends that are at Oxbridge right now have not been able to take advantage of the opportunities as much and they are really devastated about it. It's like Holly never realized how lucky she was!uuh sorry to quote myself but i'm thinking about this again and it's really annoying me lol. going to a university like cambridge or oxford opens up more opportunities for you than any other institution can possibly present you with. i just feel as though holly has squandered it, and it makes me furious because she could have done so many exciting things!
there are people who would have given an arm or a leg to attend that university, while (and i know i'm being quite harsh here) holly sat in her room pretty much 24/7, talked to nobody except her parents and learnt....what? how to memorize huge amounts of information? she already knew she could do that
Tbf Oxbridge and uni in general can seem lonely and overwhelming. There's a lot of pressure to take advantage of all the opportunities, but a lot of people who study there struggle with mental health difficulties or just find the workload so massive that they don't do much other stuff.This so much!

"After drinking tea, I read some of 'An Expert's Guide to Traversing Wormholes' by Professor Alex X. Quarkson and I am not exaggerating when I say it's in the top 10 books I've ever read.Lmao I was like Ruby I think you mean astronomy? My boyfriend is a physicist, astrophysics is not accessible at all to a layreader like Ruby. I would love to see Ruby attempt to read an astrophysics article and realise that it's mostly very complex maths and there's nothing aesthetic about it
Absolutely.This is all to say (and sorry for the long rant!) she is advertising a false idea of academia and she will be disappointed in the future. She is also misleading a lot of younger people who might not be able to read for 10 hours a day (maybe because they have to .... work or do chores like most of us) but might have stronger analytical skills than her and still be put off by academia because of the framing people like Ruby present of this field. Rant over!
I haven't really been able to embrace the whole working/studying from home i work as a care assistant whist doing a nursing degree and looking after a toddler so my breaks from online learning have been making snacks or talking about different types of dinosaursthough to be fair, that just seems to be a work/study from home thing... lots of us who don't have a commute make up for the lack of movement like that, or use our time a bit more flexibly. Her pre-pandemic routines weren't really like this, as far as I recall...
For sure, many haven't been able to work and/or study remotely! Personally, I have found the lack of movement - small things like physically walking to the office, getting a fresh cup of coffee, not... staying in my bedroom all day - to be quiet challenging, and I know others have had similar experiences. So taking a walk in the middle of the day, breaking up my work-day with amll chores etc. (which under normal circumstances wouldn't be possible at all) has been a means of coping. Longer lunch-breaks, working later or earlier hours rather than the standard 9-5 have all been part of that. So I don't think that part of Ruby's routine is unusual, and I don't think it says much about how she will adjust to an ordinary workday post-pandemic at all.I haven't really been able to embrace the whole working/studying from home i work as a care assistant whist doing a nursing degree and looking after a toddler so my breaks from online learning have been making snacks or talking about different types of dinosaurs
I'm autistic and strangely enough I struggled with pathological lying as a child/teen, which my psychiatrist said is somewhat common in autistics. Especially those of us who are masking and trying to pass as neurotypical, or those of us which other mental health issues. I wouldn't be shocked if she is neurodivergent, but I guess we can't know unless she confirms anything.*this* is why i can't ever feel sorry for her, despite the fact that she's obviously struggling (though with her own ego, mostly). she's so calculating and manipulative, and it always feels as though she has an ulterior motive
...this is also the reason why i don't think she is autistic--my autistic friends are the most genuine, honest and straight-talking people i know (please don't reply to this telling me that not all autistic people are the same, because i know that of course)
