A padded résumé and she applied for a program she seems to have no interest in (probably because it was easier for her to get in).

It wasn’t a drama and there isn’t any hard proof she plagiarised her or anything like that. It’s just that a lot of people in here believe she relied heavily on her friend Blakeney (her housemate) during uni. In a number of videos, Ruby mentioned that she and Blakeney share all their notes, have access to each other’s notion pages, and they split readings for class between them. They also chose to take the exact same classes.
In here Blakeney is generally seen as the more intelligent of the pair and rightly so. She seems career oriented, and held down different jobs and internships, volunteered and had a lot of hobbies. So the assumption is that Ruby convinced Blakeney to share her work with Ruby so that Ruby could steal her ideas.
This is all alleged of course.
Why is it taking Ruby like 2 weeks to read Brideshead Revisited and why is she pointing to the words in her Instagram photo? Can she not ready without following with her fingers? I finished it in 2 days when I read it, and I work full-time. It is a fairly short novel compared with the typical Victorian novel, so by now she should be a lot faster with reading the classics. I honestly don't get her grades or getting into Oxford. She seems like a dimwit to me!
No she can not, she has to imitate childrens behavior as much as she can in any context.
Me having ADHD and still having to follow along with the finger sometimes reading these comments 🥲
Tattlers, I had a dream about Roobee again. We were in Oxford (lol) and I wanted some of her preprinted to-do lists so I offered to buy her lunch in exchange for them. It took her three hours to pick what she wanted to eat - but to be fair, she kept having to deal with murderous seagulls (we were at a fish market). Clearly, I've been deeply affected by her seagull poetry (also I read "The Birds" recently).
I hope the seagulls were sent from Brighton by Martha
People on these threads seem to grossly exaggerate the things ruby does. “She plagiarised her uni work” = she studied with a friend and shared notes (who hasn’t done this at uni)
“She stole money from a charity” = she accepted money from a charity to do an ad campaign about something (still pretty scummy but I’d argue about the “stealing” aspect)
Ofcourse she should rightfully be called out about some things but no need to misrepresent what she’s done….
I don't think people are exaggerating the uni stuff at all. Sure, people share notes, but no one shares every single thing they've done all term for every module. People also don't pick the exact same modules as one of their friends in second *and* third year and then try to pass it off as a coincidence. And the seminar 'debriefs' were the most bizarre of all, considering all you need to do for most seminars is the reading. They're meant to be natural discussions and I don't know a single person who would even think of meeting up beforehand to try to plan what they're going to say. That's what makes it appear that Ruby was mining Blakeney for ideas.
This. It's not plagiarising, but it's not doing the work for herself, either.
There is no reasonable justifiable reason for reading Sparknotes summaries, character profiles and secondary reading before reading the main text unless you're skipping the required reading and looking for existing ideas to use instead of doing your own work and thinking up your own ideas.
Borrowing your friend's notes occasionally for a lecture you missed, or having a study session every now and then to discuss something you didn't get is one thing, but scheduling a mandatory debrief before and after every single lecture and seminar, openly admitting to getting them to do half the critical reading for you is excessive, calculated and clearly a way for Ruby to avoid doing work of her own.
This is someone who paints herself as a natural academic - a gifted genius who loves reading - and she did everything short of just plagiarising an essay to avoid doing her own work.
And the charity thing, accepting money from a charity for an ad campaign is sleazy, but worryingly common for influencers. It's the part where Ruby lied for over a year with bafflingly unbelievable excuses and contradictory explanations to avoid giving money back that she didn't need that crossed way over the line of everyday crappy influencer stuff. And after that, she kept doing similar ad campaigns.
This is someone who doesn't need the money at all. It would have been very easy to just apologise for poor judgement and return the money right away and everyone would've forgotten about it. Instead, she was still willing to work harder at avoiding giving money back to a charity than she's ever worked at anything else in her life.
Honestly, if you think Ruby is bad for sharing notes you should see the whole note sharing mafia I’ve got rn 
I have like 3 different group chats going where we all share notes and resources lol, it makes things so much easier and saves a lot of time. Also last year there was this module that we all really hated so me and 4 other people made a rota so that each week one of us would attend the lecture, take notes of the important stuff and then put it onto a shared google document that we all had access to 
. I’m sure not everyone will agree and some might think I’m lazy and stupid but I personally feel like it’s just one of those work smarter not harder things, I’m not going to make a rod for my own back for the sake of being able to say “I did it all myself”, when I could just collab with others and make my life easier.

I shared notes all through university. One guy I was working with was in my Trust Accounting class. Hardest subject in my course with like a 70% fail and re-sit stat (for the exam). Its an open book exam and he had acquired a cheat sheet to use in the exam and he gave me a copy. Sounds dodgy but it was one of those templates that you just copy straight across into your exam paper and where its blank, you put the details from the exam question. In short, it was an exam on drafting billing documents, costs agreements etc. Something I have never had to do in my professional career as our Accountant does that lol.
Would I recommend it to a friend sitting that exam, yes. Would I share it on my YT channel of students who look up to me and think I got there because I am a child genius? No.
Edit: not sure what my point was. Mostly that Ruby definitely has tricks up her sleeve that she'd rather we didn't know, but she can't help self-snitching coz she's a bit daffy like that.

I get what you’re saying but if she didn’t want us to know them then why make a whole video talking about how her and Blakeney study together? At the end of the day, if she makes out like she does 14 hour study days then she gets criticized, but if she gives out actually useful tips for studying (which is crazy for her considering how inefficient her usual methods are) that could help her followers, like sharing notes with your friends, she still gets criticized 🫠
I am shutting the duck up on this subject now coz I sound like a Ruby stan and I’m starting to give myself the ick
This is completely random and probably been discussed ages ago, but I was just catching up on Ruby and saw this reel of her lighting a candle in her garden to celebrate the winter solstice? She's really gone off the deep end hasn't she

The way I see it, her 'debriefing' with Blakeney probably played into her image of the dark academia lifestyle, in the sense that she's part of a friend group (duo?) whose members are just so passionate about learning and the object of their studies that they diligently discuss these things before and after class. Obviously I can't know if Blakeney also shared that mindset, or if she was equally hooked on academic life, but surely if she objected to such a practice she'd say something, no?
I agree. Blakeney seems smart and confident, I doubt she’d let Ruby cheat off her. Similar to posters above I also shared notes a lot during uni and also split readings with others on several occasions!! Idk who doesn’t do that
work smart not hard!It scares me that her hair is loose, I'm worried it'll catch fireThis is completely random and probably been discussed ages ago, but I was just catching up on Ruby and saw this reel of her lighting a candle in her garden to celebrate the winter solstice?

I hear you. My theory is that its a combination of all the ACTUAL bs that she puts into her 'content' that gets some of us a bit riled up lol. At this point, anything that mildly grates on someone's nerves is fair gameI get what you’re saying but if she didn’t want us to know them then why make a whole video talking about how her and Blakeney study together?

The fine print on your post lol. No one wants to be seen as defending her haha.
I think there's a difference between simply sharing notes as a one-off for a particular lesson or course, and having such a system in place where you chose all of the same courses, attend all the lectures together, put all of your notes onto the same page and work together for every single assignment.
Firstly, it sounds like a literal nightmare for Blakeney lol. And secondly, in an essay-based course like theirs, that's mostly centered around reading books and making notes about them, I feel like it would be very easy to "borrow" ideas or concepts, or to avoid reading the primary texts, which, I suspect, is the reason why Ruby cared so much about sharing everything with Blakeney.
She loves busy work like taking notes, she loves looking like she's getting a lot done with minimal brain engagement, and let's be honest, she's that student who wouldn't let you look at their notes if you were begging them on your knees.
What she doesn't love is a) reading books that aren't for 12 year olds, and b) thinking critically about things. Sharing all her notes with Blakeney accomplishes both. Again, if you put all of your notes for all your module into the same place all the time, it's incredibly easy to take advantage of another person's work if yours is subpar.

I'm doing a masters at the moment and if she can't critically assess anything then she's going to have problems tbh
