"Have a pro-ana week!"Combining foods in small amounts like she does is a pretty typical ED thing to do, when you think you can only have a very limited amount of food and can’t make up your mind what to have because your body wants to eat ALL THE THINGS to avoid starvation, this is the kind of bullshit ”meal” you end up having.
I think she should take a year out before the masters - time for therapy, to get her physical health back to normal, become more independent/get a job. All of those would be more valuable in the long-term than continuing with Youtube or further studying. It's not uncommon for people to take time out for a break or financial reasons before starting postgrad; it won't be a sign of failure or an 'unproductive' year. (just making that point in case Ruby's reading this).She really needs to take a step back from youtube stuff and her shoddy business and just carry on with university. She should make that her one main goal for 2022. I know it's her main source of income but doesn't she consider university more important? Especially her LAST semester? Something tells me this will definitely not be her year if she continues on the way she has. She'll be lucky if she can piece together a dissertation with two comprehensible sentences. Running back home to mummy to play in the garden isn't going to benefit her. She needs to stay there for the remainder of her time there and actually focus on getting her work done. Not procrastinating by doing a million different things, 90% of which are busywork she gives herself and has little to no value. She also needs to get serious about what she wants to do after university. She's kidding herself with the book deal thing. If she chooses to take some time out before studying for her masters she should at least try to be more independent.
Hi, your English is really good so don't worry about it!I don't think it is as much of an issue as you make it out to be, as long as she is able to adapt once she does move out.
Welcome to the thread!Hi guys, I've been reading the threads for a while and this is my first post. I apologize in case I make any grammatical mistakes, English is not my first language.
I'm from Spain, 19, and I always find it surprising when people push Ruby to move out ASAP, as if not doing so was embarrasing or something that was going to impact her development massively, which I have noticed is a commonly held opinion in anglosaxon countries. I think this might be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think there's anything wrong with living with your parents in your early 20s.
I don't know anyone my age who has already moved out or that is planning on doing so in the following years. This is probably because of cultural differences, but most people who go to uni here live with their parents until at least their mid twenties, and it's seen as completely normal. Many people make it to their late 20s without ever having lived on their own (unless they did a year abroad or studied in another province), and still manage to be well-adjusted adults. I think the average age for moving out was 28 or 29. Also, because wages are so low compared to housing prizes, it would be nearly impossible to rent a decent place after graduation. I don't think it is as much of an issue as you make it out to be, as long as she is able to adapt once she does move out.
Her issue isn't not moving out, it's that she acts like a six year old when she's going to graduate from uni next year. And finances are not an issue for her. Most people her age would move out if they could afford to (which she can given that she already owns a house).Hi guys, I've been reading the threads for a while and this is my first post.

Exactly, she can easily afford to move out and have her own place. Many, many people her age would love that luxury but feel stuck still living at home because they simply can't afford to move. Ruby hasn't progressed in the years she's been at uni though, if anything she's regressed. She'll be living at home for a long time I think, even after graduating.Her issue isn't not moving out, it's that she acts like a six year old when she's going to graduate from uni next year.

Ruby really came through for her customers by...finally delivering the things they paid for, over a month late, after dodging their emails and complaints for weeks and doing nothing else to make it right. She did the long overdue bare minimum! What a saint!
And remember, everyone: This is "basically a hobby for her". Aside from, y'know, it being a registered business with tens of thousands of pounds worth of stock in a warehouse, paid employees, etc..
It'll never not be hilarious how Ruby and her fans hold Pumpkin Productivity up as a massive, hugely successful business venture that she owns and runs singlehandedly when they want to inflate her achievements, but when things go wrong, suddenly it's either a business that she has nothing to do with and it's all the customer service employees' fault, or it's a tiny little side hustle that Ruby runs in her spare time from a cupboard so she should be cut all the slack in the world.
I also come from a culture in which it's common to live with your parents until your mid to late twenties so I understand what you're saying. However, I don't think this applies to Ruby for two reasons:Hi guys, I've been reading the threads for a while and this is my first post.

I never comment here, but I feel called outAfter yet another outfit change, Ruby mentions that she takes lots of screenshots to remind herself of things on her phone. I'm not sure how this is supposed to work as a reminder system, and evidently neither is Ruby, as she forgets about all the screenshots she's taken. So now she's going through over a month's stockpile of forgotten screenshots and transcribing what she thinks they might've been for into Notion.
I like that book but I don't think it really fits with Ruby at all, whatever she says about slow living. She hoards crap that she'll never use again, she shows no respect for her space, and she is obsessed with 'things'. She'd do well to take Marie's advice because her space is chaotic and filthyOff topic but I'm surprised Ruby hasn't read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo, it was pretty famous a few years ago and it fits her brand of "slow living, grateful for everything". Someone from the UK should take one for the team and mail her an anonymous copy lmao.
