She said she's uploading it in two parts because it makes more sense girl pls you just had a last minute editing panic and didn't have time to do the whole thing don't be telling fibs girlie pops
The majority of her followers voted for her to upload it in one part but I guess she just ignored their wishes then.
That's how democracy works

Also I don't think I can handle the second-hand embarrassment of hearing her ramble about Italy as if she's an expert (even though I'm sure she knew next to nothing about it before spending two weeks here). I'll just enjoy @Gossipguy's recap and y'all's comments

I’m beginning the think that Ruby infantilising herself has less to do with her trying to escape adulthood (although that’s a big part of it) but to exempt her from criticism. The amount of comments I see on her YouTube and tiktok that are some variation of “protect this girl at all costs 🥺🥺” are telling. Why? Because she acts like she’s twelve and prefers reading to parties? She’s 22 years old ffs, let her take responsibility for her actions like every other creator on the platform. Just because she dresses like a geriatric toddler doesn’t mean she needs to be babied.

Once again, aspiring bestselling author doesn't understand how POV works.

Apparently first-person POV now includes:

The viewpoint of a someone you're clutching by the throat as you spin maniacally in a field when you should be getting a job.
The perspective of the farmer watching as you trespass through their land, prancing about like an escaped mental patient.
The point of view of a wild rodent about to attack your ankles.

Good to see she’s managed to ‘spend time with Martha’. Nothing like turning family relationships into a chore you can tick off a list!

I can just imagine the scene - Ruby carefully setting a timer for exactly twenty minutes of human interaction, and not a second more!

I would also add that all the references to gr*oming and ped*philia and sexual abuse to be inappropriately used and quite demeaning to actual cases and victims.
Ruby is such a sexless person and that is usually remarked upon here along with her childish behaviour and mindset, but then it switches to “be careful out there” as if she’s Ted Bundy or something.

Yes, her attachment to the past is weird and it’s clear she’s got some issues. However, having a mentor-like relationship with girls who are interested in academia is actually not an evil thing. There are comments from girls who knew her as head girl and talk about how nice she was to them. Having experience with bullying and loneliness herself, she was probably a helpful figure for some of the girls. Haven’t you ever met the weird horse girl librarian who’s awkward but still nice and harmless? It’s the same energy for me.

I actually think that helping younger people is a nice trait to have and it’s honestly ridiculous how quickly it got compared to stories of people being sexually abused. Like, come on.
I think the Ruby being a paedophile thing has become misconstrued. No one’s saying Ruby’s a paedophile and if anything, she seems asexual, but that doesn’t mean her relationship with them could be inappropriate.

You say “helping younger people is a nicer trait”; if you were a parent of a 13-year-old and you found out she had a 22-year-old pen pal writing her letters, would you not be a bit creeped out and find it crosses boundaries? She’s not their mentor and there’s a clear power imbalance between a 22-year-old and a child.

She wants to be friends with them and hang around them/school as it makes her feel like a child, while getting praise from children and teachers boosts her ego. She’s not in it to help them; it’s an ego trip and a chance to fulfil her childhood obsession. It’s inappropriate and creepy and definitely shouldn’t be encouraged. Seeing it as “helping” is exactly how Ruby construes it and can put an “it’s fine” label on it, when it’s not. She should be talking and socialising with fellow adults as (amazing as it may be to her), an adult is exactly what she is.

Ruby, looking more frazzled and miserable than ever: "Oiy've com to the conclooshun that people are LOIYING whan they say they loiyke heat. RAIN? CLOUDS? FAR SUPERIAR."

You don't have different opinions. Subjectivity doesn't exist. If you have an opinion different to Ruby, you are lying.

Dumbass Ruby wonders why she's hot and miserable when she chose the hottest day in history to wear a thick dungaree dress. She also claims to understand science on a molecular level, but doesn’t grasp the basic notion that you shouldn't have your windows and curtains open if it's hotter outside than in.

You're just letting hot air in, Ruby.

Ruby's solution to any extreme weather is to just leave all the windows open and then complain that it's too cold/hot.

I have nothing to add to how she got her grades but I think it's really strange and almost corrupt that Exeter uni payed her to do an AD promoting them meanwhile her fellow students are probably balancing uni life and a part time job that is difficult to centre around their studies all whilst her uni was paying Ruby to advertise them...it's never sat well with me. If I was a student I'd have been so annoyed I got debt from uni whilst my fellow class mate was being payed by them.

Ok I finally made an account because this is just sad. Most adults expand beyond their teenage self, but Ruby can't seem to accept that she's out of school now.
Sorry but I find this mega creepy 💀 why does she care who the next head girl is? She won’t know who they are and I doubt they’ll give a fuck who she is either

I so agree re the self-worth and university point. I find it completely bizarre the way that some people get soooo hung up on going to Oxbridge. I've been to four universities for four different degrees and have never even applied to Oxford or Cambridge, as the way they teach and the shorter terms have just never appealed to me. It's understandable if you apply at 17/18 and get rejected, but most people do their degree elsewhere and move past it. To spend four years at Exeter and still have some kind of self esteem problem that drives you to do a master's you don't need in a subject that wouldn't progress your supposed career goals is honestly really sad and concerning.
For Ruby (and ditto Jade and Jack), the reason they're still so het up about Oxford rejections and continue to talk about it even years later is because it's the first time they'd failed at something and experienced rejection. They based their whole self-worth on grades and as students who produced content entirely geared towards academics and success in that field, the realisation that perhaps they weren't the cream of the crop stung them and hurt their egos. Jack is clearly the worst in this regard, which is why he's experienced multiple rejections.

They just need to accept that perhaps it isn't right for them and there are unis that are better suited. Having said that, I do believe Ruby will get into Oxford this time round. I think it'll eat her alive but only time will tell.

It's so obvious that Ruby is planning to go to Oxford for a Masters and her motivations for doing so are so apparent as well.

It's nothing to do with it being the best step for her career wise; she wants to be an author, so something creative would be the best step, which Oxford doesn't offer. She wants to go because it's her clinging onto a childhood dream, so if she gets in, not only (in her mind) is she vindicated after the bullies at Oxford didn't give her a place first time round, but she will be able to preach to her subscribers that everything works out in the end, just have to believe etc.

She'll be dreaming of posting "Study with Me at Oxford" and putting Oxford into every title and romanticising it at every opportunity. It's just like Jack Edwards, who applied about 3 separate times. It's sad that they place all their self-worth on a place at one university and can't move on or accept that perhaps (shocking as it may be to them) they aren't cut out there and there are (amazingly to them) other students who are more suited and more capable.

I wouldn't be surprised at all with a 76 if Ruby gets a place as at Masters-level there's no interview for her to trip up on. The content will be unbearable.
Yeah I'm a bit baffled by some comments saying she won't get in, with a 76 and almost straight firsts in her whole degree I would've thought she will almost certainly get in as there's no interview. Unless she doesn't seek advice on her personal statement and cocks that up, something like that. At least if she goes to Oxford I assume she will have to move out of her family home. Not that there's anything wrong per se with living at home, but in her case she presents in such a childlike manner I do think the experience would do her some good.

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.

This is beyond creepy. The school should not enable this shit and neither should parents.
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.
I’m 25 and can barely remember the people from my own school year, let alone people from any other years.
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, but my head has absolutely fallen off reading that tbh.

Obviously y'all are entitled to talk about whatever you want but I find it a bit dumb when people make fun of Ruby for making literacy mistakes on social media like with the whole POV thing, I'm an english student too and I (hopefully lol) use correct grammar in essays but when writing stuff on texts/snapchat/insta idgaf 🤷 it's not that deep

Edit: and I'm not talking about that long post that was supposed to be showing off her writing, I'm talking about random insta captions
But pretending to be a literary scholar and a writer is her brand. She's the one who claims to be an intellectual. She's the one who uses big words incorrectly just to come across as smarter. She's the one who plastered her uni results all over her channel and claimed she wasn't happy with them like she deserved more. So it's just too ironic when she makes blunders like these on social media.

Basically if you don't wanna be criticized for your grammar, vocabulary and academic and analytical skills don't draw attention to them and claim you're better than everyone else.

Is there actually a page on her planner called “Questions to ask teachers”??? Am I seeing this right, man she really did go to her teachers/lecturers with emails filled with paragraphs about nothing, didn’t she. She was definitely that annoying student who never signed off teams on time.

If I were Ruby, I would make videos about my old videos and review them and point out what was good advice and what not and so on. I think that would be a nice change from her usual stuff.
so, Ruby, if you are reading this, here is an idea for you.
If I were Ruby, I would make videos about "getting a job", "moving out of my parents' house", "interacting with other twenty-somethings", and "letting go of my preteen self".

I don't think Ruby ever got the memo that not everything has to go online. There is no obligation to update the internet every time you go on a day trip, try a new food, read a new book, or spend time with a friend. If you looked at my instagram you'd probably know the 3-4 people I spend the most time with but you wouldn't get paragraphs explaining every detail of our interactions.
