Unless she’s absolutely bombed her dissertation and children’s book module, then from what she’s shared over the past two years she’s pretty much guaranteed a first. So it’s either she’s filming and refilming the reaction video to get it suitably humble-sounding, or she’s got a FARRRRSST but only a 2:1 for the dissertation and she’s not happy, or she actually has got a 2:1 and she’s been on the phone to AX-TAR to complain, or Blakeney’s got a first too with a higher overall score and Ruby is fuming.
Or she’s done well and has done the normal thing of going out with her family to celebrate, but tbh I think that’s the most far-fetched of all of the suggestions.

could have at least ironed it rubes. looks like it’s been taken straight off the floor of her musty wardrobe. all the dust mites and dead flies are probably crying about the fact her clear out has ruined their breeding ground

Hmmm, maybe she hasn't got a first after all. If she hasn't posted anything by the end of the week I reckon it's safe to say she has done worse than she expected.
I'd wager it's just her usual lazy content creation timescales. She'll upload a video 6pm tomorrow at the earliest.
"Sleeves which are so unique" - I can practically hear through the text that she disliked the sleeves and that's why she's selling it lol. It's a bit like those discord messages where she tried so hard to come across as gentle and kind but her passive-aggressiveness just shines through regardless. Which would be fine with me, not everyone has to be great at phrasing things and conveying a certain image over text, but for a WRITER it's a bit disappointing really
She definitely has got a first. We know Ruby and there’s absolute no chance she would have continued to post today and post an Instagram smiling about her results and saying she’d upload a video if she hadn’t got one. She cried when she got a 2:2 in a first year essay which counted for zilch, so you really think she’d be smiling about a 2:1 in her final degree? 
I’d have been surprised if she uploaded today. The normal (and correct) thing to do is to celebrate your results with family and friends first, so imagine she’s just gone for a meal or something. So I’d probably stop the fantasising that she got a 68. She’s probably come out with a 77 or something

I thought that too, probs trying to build a bit of suspense
Judging by Instagram, she went to Five Guys with mummy. It remains to be seen if she ordered the "vegan" burger with the dairy bun again.She definitely has got a first.

I don't think it's that strange. I suppose it depends how you interpret 'soon'
In Ruby's mind that could mean 'anytime this week'.
I think you're giving her too much benefit of doubt. Just a few days ago, she showed us a piece of her writing, which she thought was publishable quality- it had basic PUNCTUATION mistakes. Forget about grammar, tone, style, etc. because one could argue those are subjective. But her writing is just objectively horrendous, no matter how you look at it.
And I've watched 90% of her videos for years, not ONCE has she had an interesting or original "hot take" on anything. She just (inaccurately) regurgitates historical facts, or directly plagiarizes other people (just see that Van Gogh reference in the Paris video). There's too much evidence she ISN'T deserving of a First.
She's the only person I know whose imposter syndrome is actually justified. I'm hoping she goes for a Master's, it'll humble her a bit at least.
I love writing. I write scripts and stories. But I also have a job I attend. I can’t make time for writing everyday. Yes it is negotiable Ruby if you have OTHER COMMITMENTS!! Which you don’t have.
I’m genuinely infuriated by this.
I think she mentioned in a recent video that she’s able to publish something of hers in an undergraduate academic journal. When she does I wonder if we can find it and see what she “really” writes like. But it could also be that internship thing that she did which means she probably didn’t write any of it herself.
I told my boss I LOVE kayaking and NEED to make time in my work schedule to do this frequently as it is NON-NEGOTIABLE.
So it turns out I have no job now.
Anyone hiring? Must be willing to accommodate my newfound love of kayaking; this is NON-NEGOTIABLE.
That comes from a place of privilege.

This isn't that difficult to be honest. Undergraduate journals are not highly discerning when it comes to submissions. So long as you have something of a correct length and seems coherent they'll take it. That's to say nothing of "pay-to-publish" journals which are a big problem atm (though I am not accusing her of using one of these.)
If she can regurgitate some intelligent sounding essays in exams (did she sit any exams, or was it all assignments? I didn't really watch her uni content after first year.) she'll do well. English Lit is difficult to get less than a 2:1 in, and with a bit of effort and memorisation of arguments a first is easily within reach. With the volume of students at university nowadays it has really become impossible to properly coach all of them to original thought, and hence university essay are increasingly about pulling the right levers to get a first (despite what the grading criteria might say.) An 80 is the new 75 and all that.
At any rate, she uploaded her video about her oxford rejection the day after it happened, so I reckon if we don't hear within the next 24hrs or so she has more than likely got a first. She would also be schtum on social media, in a slump about her grade. She hasn't really unlearned her rejection response, which is troubling. Plays into the regression many have noticed since she moved home.
Ruby's about as deserving of a first as she is of the stolen charity money. I don't doubt she'd be humbled with a Master's. She certainly wouldn't get away with Blakeneying her way through just about every assignment and using SparkNotes like she did all throughout undergraduate. She would actually have to think critically, which we know she's pretty much incapable of. It would be a rude awakening.
Longtime lurker, first-time poster. I registered here just to say I wholeheartedly agree with this post. I love writing and I'm a writer by trade. Yet, I often don't write every day. I work at a university. Most days I'm bogged down by some truly admin tasks, while other days I'm busy editing publications. At the end of the days, I can't even be bothered to write anything I don't have to.
I wasn’t really talking about the difficulty. I just wanna know if we can read it when it comes out. I’m also curious if it’s something that’s completely her own or a paper she was able to add her name to because she was involved in the internship work.
If it’s something she wrote completely her self then I can’t wait to see how she writes academically. If it’s as bad as her personal writing then I can’t wait for the roasting haha.
