It also shows just how little she's accomplished since leaving school. I would bet that most people who become head girl/boy end up accomplishing greater things in uni and beyond that end up defining them, it's really strange to still be hung up on it after graduating uni.I went to an independent school with a fair amount of notable alumni and apart from coming in to give a few speeches about life after school, most people don’t look back. There is an old girls association that holds various events but none under the age of around 30 bothers. There’s nothing wrong with keeping in touch with your old school (I did work experience in my old primary school) it’s just that Ruby seems to like going back to act like a school girl again, not an adult talking to actual school students about her life after school. Also her want to find out who the head girl is every year is weird, tbh head students don’t really do that much, as far as I’m aware, it’s a great achievement but not something someone who left years ago should care about. If there was a Ruby at my school she would’ve been a laughing stock amongst students and some teachers.
She's always placed her time as head girl on a pedestal as being some crowning achievement in her life, to the point where she'd still bragging about it in her Linkedin personal statement at the age of 22. It would not shock me at all if this was her way of trying to vicariously reliving her time as head girl, given her unhealthy obsession with young girls and trying to retreat into childhood.Maybe she thinks being head girl gives her a heightened sense of importance and connection to the school, but it's not really that deep, especially not to be going back 5 years later; she's not even giving a speech, she's an attendee.
Yeah, it's just wildly unbelievable lies. She claims that somehow, their profit margin for this new, more expensive planner is drastically less than the last, cheaper one, and to turn a profit she's need to charge £20.50 - £2 more than the already insane £18.50.She isn't making a profit from this? That's just a blatant lie. Why do it if she's just gonna break even and not make a profit? Anyone with a brain and a vague idea of how a business operates (sustain costs, earn money, hopefully earnings - costs = more than 0 so you have more money than when you started) could tell she's lying.
I mostly went to state schools, but got a bursary/scholarship to go to a boarding school for the GCSE years. I have to second this post - it's not normal behaviour, even at private schools where 'networking' (I hate that word) is more common. Speaking from experience, it would be normal to:I went to an independent school with a fair amount of notable alumni and apart from coming in to give a few speeches about life after school, most people don’t look back.

The thing is, I bet she was friends with the Year 8s. I remember a post on her Instagram where she said she spent her lunchtime in the library with a Year 8 learning so many digits of Pi when she was in sixth form. I think she's deleted it now but it's sad because I think she probably remembers those kids as friends and they only remember her as the Youtube girl from their school."I like to see who is announced as the new head girl".
God, I don't even know where to start with this one. Ruby left her school in 2018. The new head girl will leave in 2023, so will be 5 school years younger than Ruby. That means when Ruby left the school, she was in Year 8.
Why on earth would Ruby care who is elected? Unless she was friends with the Year 8s (which wouldn't surprise me really in some bid to take up a "motherly/mentoring" role), that is just unbelievably strange and almost creepy. Is she hoping she can impart some wisdom as a former head girl? Just likes to infantilise herself and hang out with children? Hope they idolise her and see her as this top tier alumnus who conquered uni, wrote a book and came out with a first?
I enjoyed my time at school but have no desire to go back there. She's willingly going to find out who the new Head Girl is. Very odd behaviour.
Oh, I hadn't considered the fact that she might still know the younger students (who would now be school leaving age). Doesn't make it any less weird though!The thing is, I bet she was friends with the Year 8s.
Have you watched the Jenny Nicholson video on Dear Evan Hansen? I highly recommend it if you want to laugh about Ben Platt the elderly high schooler. It's also interesting that the reply calling Ruby out has 50 likes and her post only has 27.Ruby just wandering the halls of her old school befriending children while looking 65 years old as if it's totally normal, like Ben Platt in the Dear Evan Hansen movie.
No she doesn’t ‘still know about 4 years worth of girls’? She is an adult now and left school ages ago, she won’t have kept in contact with these girls.View attachment 1405492

This is beyond creepy. The school should not enable this shit and neither should parents.
I do think this is true to an extent, though it probably varies from school to school. Private schools tend to be much smaller, so it's normal to know people from different years. That said, what Ruby's doing would still be considered strange even in that environment. And a lot of schools (most?) post their head girl news on the 'news' section of their website or in the school newsletter, so if she's really that desperate to find out she could just do a google search. No need to be there in person! I think Ruby is just looking for any excuse to go back to school tbh.I don’t know if this is a private school thing and it’s just more of an everyone knows everyone cosy environment compared to normal schools

Lmao I immediately thought of Jenny's video too. "Mommy why is this grown man singing at us"Oh, I hadn't considered the fact that she might still know the younger students (who would now be school leaving age). Doesn't make it any less weird though!

Btw, in her planner screenshot, one of the things she wants to learn about is 'Derrida's philosophy' if i've read that correctly. Lord help us, that'll be fun.
Yeah I went and watched the actual tiktok out of shock at some of these comments, and she even says it’s actually a ‘parents day / beach day’ which makes it even weirder? Like you’re not a parent of a child at the school ruby ffs if you care so much just google it?I do think this is true to an extent, though it probably varies from school to school.

P.S. I noticed she's not in any rush to go back to Exeter.
Can you imagine if she brought her parents along?it’s actually a ‘parents day / beach day’ which makes it even weirder?
Haha, yes. Now picturing Ruby turning up and singing at unsuspecting students in his warbly voice.Lmao I immediately thought of Jenny's video too. "Mommy why is this grown man singing at us"
I mean… she doesn’t drive, so it’s very probable Mother Granger went too.Can you imagine if she brought her parents along?I don't think she's seeing herself as the parent in that situation.
