yeah, it's one of those things that if you were incredibly pretentious about grammar and syntax wouldn't use, but is still spoken and written in everyday English which is totally fine as you can still derive meaning from the sentence/phrase easily (i wouldn't use 'very favourite' as it just sone awkward to me but i definitely say 'most favourite')! i THINK the correct way to say it is "this is my absolute favourite' (pls don't come for me if it isn't, i have had a long day at work). but to get to the point of my comment, i was just again pulling ruby's leg as she acts like she's an academic connoisseur but makes mistake such as these (which are completely fine to make as they are used in everyday english)!

This!! Whenever I watch Ruby's vlogs from the flat she's sharing with Blakeney I feel lowkey worried about them. On multiple ocassions, Ruby has filmed them walk to uni and into the city center, also the garden/outside area of their flat. If someone knows the area well, they might know where they live. I would never, ever do that.
yeah but to be fair, she didn't say this in an essay, but in an instagram post (everyday english). lol
yeah that's what i mean haha, just joking around
To me, it’s olde worlde child speak. She’s read it in one of her books somewhere and latched onto it. It’s not used by adults, or in modern English.
Hi Roobee!
I guess it's like saying "the very best" or something. "Very" is pretty unnecessary and pointless in this case, but people still sometimes use it to emphasize the adjective. I always think it sounds a bit old fashioned/pretentious to use the word "very" in front of these superlatives, maybe that's why Ruby does it so much
Thank you all so much! It does sound childish, we have similar expressions in Spanish which I guess are common for children to say. Thank you again
and sorry for the off topic
Lies right off the bat 
She needs a small notebook to jot down things quickly, she uses it ”more than you’d think” - footage of her scribbling something down in a brand new notebook we’ve never seen before She also needs one of her pre-printed to-do lists to do much the same. Whatever happened to keeping everything in Notion?
And, as if she didn’t already recycle enough crap from her other video a week ago, she makes sure to include a sizeable snack stash in her list of essentials

Glad she told us that timers are good for setting timers and she use's her watch to tell the time, I wasn't actually aware time existed before this video. Everyday is a school day
I'm happy now I know I'm suppose to put small humans snacks in tupperware box I was wondering where I was going wrong
it’s like when someone asks me to make something my “top priority” at work. Like, you can only have one priority if you think about the word but I’m also pedantic as fu*k.
If everything is a priority only one thing at a time gets done lol
i mean in Roobees mismatched video clip world…what even IS time?!
They’re £6 each, like the ribbons.
I'm glad that I have learned today that it is good idea to use timers and check the time. However have I coped all my life?! Oh, and remember snacks, hmmm, I've never realised I need food throughout the day to keep going.
This was just an excuse to use old footage again.

So, the first thing you see on Ruby's stationery website is "Get your Academic Essentials now".
Number of "academic essentials" from that video available for sale on her store out of 25: Two.
Honestly, keeping track of the lies, contradictions and misadvice in her videos has me like:
According to Ruby, her academic planner was designed so that it contains everything a student needs. So...why would she (or anyone else) then need separate to-do lists, notebooks, calendars and Notion subscriptions?
Ruby: "I love note flags and use them religiously."
But I thought that app she was shilling in ad posts just yesterday had changed the game because she had no way to mark and annotate texts otherwise? If that's such a revelatory, essential app, why is it not on the list, Ruby? You don't have to answer, we know you only claimed to use it because you were paid to.
Ruby: "Make sure you get a backpack that will fit everything you need, not just an aesthetic one."
Also Ruby: (Visibly struggles to fit her water bottle into her bag because the trendy, aesthetically-pleasing bag she owns several of is far too small for her purposes.)
Ruby: "It is SO important to keep hydrated. You'll definitely notice a difference in your focus if you don't."
Also Ruby: (Makes no mention of eating regular, substantial, nutritious meals. Encourages "just dry snacks". Doesn't eat anything herself. Is constantly having trouble focusing and is often confused and distracted by everything.)
Ruby: "A good, clean desk and study space is essential."
(Cut to Ruby's far-too-small desk area, covered in dirt, dead flies and disgusting globs of melted wax.)
This is a staggeringly stupid list. If you have a computer, access to the internet, a phone, a pen and a notebook, that's everything you need. Buy the reading lists when they're announced, or borrow them from the library.
Stupid apps that require you to solve Dan Brown escape room puzzles to turn off your alarm, or restrict all your apps aren't academic essentials. They're a sign that you need to exercise more willpower and self control if you keep turning off your alarm or getting distracted on the internet and missing important things. This is a Ruby problem. It is not a universal student problem.
Candles are not academic essentials.
Things like food and water are not academic essentials. They're essential to staying alive. You should be consuming them every day regardless of if you're a student or not.
This is just sheer idiocy in video form. I'd wager because that '35 things to do before Back to School 2021' video was her most popular in a long time, she'll churn out a tonne of these numbered list videos full of terrible advice, complete incompetence, recycled B-roll and endless, repetitive padding.

Apostrophes and punctuation marks were limited edition and have now sold out
what gets me about this is, i have one of these rucksacks myself and they come in a lot bigger sizes than the one she has ! you can fit loads in them. she wastes so much money on these things when she could have just bought a bigger bag?????
