And her trip to Scotland is another paid ad. Did VisitScotland learn nothing from the half-assed mess she delivered last time? What a waste of money.

Chapter 1: An Exceptional Legacy

In the prestigious town of St. Ambrose, nestled amid verdant estates, resided a girl named Eliza Hastings. Born into a family of esteemed academics and statesmen, she possessed an unparalleled intellect that set her apart from her peers. But little did Eliza know that her brilliance would soon become a burden, as envious eyes in the upper echelons began to regard her with disdain.

Chapter 2: The Coveted Coterie

At St. Ambrose Academy, where the affluent and powerful sent their daughters, Eliza's erudition shone like a beacon of enlightenment. Her academic prowess, however, invoked jealousy and insecurity among her fellow students. The envious elite conspired to undermine her standing.

Chapter 3: The Whispers of Envy

Within the opulent halls of the academy, rumors swirled about Eliza's supposed arrogance and presumptuousness. The disdainful minds of her peers wove intricate tales of her intellectual prowess, making her the target of scorn and mockery.

Chapter 4: A Friend in Adversity

Amidst the opulence and envy, Eliza found an unexpected ally in Arabella, a kindred spirit who valued intelligence and honesty above all. Their shared appreciation for knowledge and wit forged an unbreakable bond.

Chapter 5: The Elegance of Empathy

Arabella saw through the masks of disdain that surrounded Eliza and became her shield against the cruel words that sought to diminish her brilliance. Together, they vowed to uncover the hidden truth behind the animosity.

Chapter 6: The Secret Society

In the shadowed corners of St. Ambrose Academy, Eliza and Arabella stumbled upon an enigmatic society known as "The Aristocratic Assembly." Cloaked in privilege and entitlement, this secret society relished in oppressing those they perceived as threats to their power.

Chapter 7: A Battle of Minds

Undeterred by the threats and elitist plots, Eliza and Arabella ventured further into the secretive world of The Aristocratic Assembly. They discovered dark machinations that aimed to suppress intellectual growth and maintain the status quo.

Chapter 8: Embracing Uniqueness

As the oppressive shadows grew, Eliza's brilliance remained her strongest weapon. Arabella admired her friend's resilience and intelligence, recognizing that their combined strength was a force to be reckoned with.

Chapter 9: A Noble Pursuit

The more they unraveled, the more the duo realized that the struggle was not merely against a secret society, but against a mindset that stifled progress and change. Eliza and Arabella resolved to bring about a transformation in their elitist world.

Chapter 10: A Triumph of Character

In a riveting confrontation, Eliza and Arabella unmasked the leaders of The Aristocratic Assembly, exposing their misguided notions of superiority. The truths laid bare, the girls proved that true intellect resided not just in bookish knowledge but in the compassion and understanding they displayed.

Chapter 11: A Beacon of Enlightenment

Their pursuit of truth and compassion led to a shift in the academy's atmosphere. The jealousies that once thrived diminished, replaced by a newfound appreciation for diverse talents and perspectives.

Chapter 12: A Lesson in Elegance

Through their noble journey, Eliza and Arabella realized that intelligence ought to be a source of inspiration and not isolation. In their quest for knowledge and empathy, they became paragons of elegance and grace, lighting the way for others to embrace their brilliance.

Confirmed: AI is more ethical and honest than Roobee

 

[tutu10]

I don't see the problem with not wanting to learn how to drive, you don't need to drive to be an adult.

 

[Griftwood]

I don’t know how she needs so many resets, it’s not like there’s anything going on in her life or her brain. Maybe it’s like what you do when there’s an unidentifiable IT problem, just reboot reboot reboot until 1) sudden fix or 2) give up and get a new hard drive.

 

[Griftwood]

So aesthetic

”But it’s outside,” you say, ”of course things are bound to get a little beat up outdoors!” Nope. Rootabaga Manor is the same indoors.

 

[Green Lion]

I have to admit I’ve long wondered why she didn’t go for a Masters in Children’s Literature. I know of a couple of courses and they are pretty prestigious and the grads I know have gone on to do things like writing children’s books and working in YA publishing. It just seems like that would be such a good fit for Ruby - she wouldn’t necessarily be able to do it at Oxbridge but there would be nothing stopping her going to Oxbridge later on. It just seems to me that at this level, you need to have an interest in what you’re studying or you’re going to really struggle, and like you say, Ruby doesn’t really seem to have a real interest in her course.

It's because it's all about the AHSTATIK and prestige. It's the same with her writing. She could have easily tried to self publish her books, but for her it seems getting a traditional book deal is the only way to be an accomplished writer so she desperately clings to the idea that penguin will one day see the child genius she is and give her a deal.

 

[Griftwood]

To be somewhat fair for once, she’s been taking driving lessons, and I’m guessing both her parents were away that week (Granada lol) so she probably doesn’t take taxis all the time. I don’t drive (we have great public transport) so I would just walk or bike a short distance like that, but I guess it’s all about what you’re accustomed to. And she’s accustomed to being chauffeured around.

Ruby Granger #41 SparkNotesing her way through Oxford prep

Her chat GTP is like hold my beer

Whoops, Ruby wasn't paying attention when Googling "quotes about siblings" and accidentally reveals she didn't actually read the thing she claims she read, for the 42,948,567th time.

I'm also dying at Ruby's weirdly clinical and ambiguous birthday message to her sister; note that Ruby doesn't actually says anything positive about her sister or their relationship anywhere in this post.

Haha yes she basically just says 'I've got a sibling'

 

[slamvs27]

And she's supposed to be that person who plan everything... That little detail tells so much about her.

It's almost like she goes out of her way to fuck things up. She isn't even trying.
---

I have just checked the course that she is doing and you can only do it full-time which lasts 9 months. However, full-time PhDs usually last for 3 or 4 years whilst part-time PhDs can take up to 6 or 7 years.

I don't see her doing a PhD at all. The thesis is supposed to be ORIGINAL and contributes SUBSTANTIVELY to the field. She uses Cliffnotes and steals ideas from friends/ scholars, for Christ's sake.

 

[Redrose97]

There likely will be a fair amount of archive work. This is the course you do as training if you want to become an academic working in this field, in order to acquire the professional skills (working with very old books, MSS, etc), so it does focus a decent amount on that stuff. However, Ruby manages to talk about it in a rather confusing and misleading way!

I was just curious as I'm currently do a history Mlitt as I focus on the early modern period like what Ruby will be doing for the course , so I've done some archive work for assignments but not as much as Ruby is making out that she will be doing.

She does speak about the archives as if she will be there all the time and it will fit into the dark academia aesthetic. I can see her thinking that she is going to discover something brand-new in the archives that's not been found before ect.

I do remember going to the archives for the dissertation last year even though all of her sources were already published and she spent more time looking at suffragette letters and going on about how she was amazed a letter was written in a hurry ECG.

I feel as if she might be a bit disappointed as archive work can be very dry and not to mention the paleography (handwriting) can be difficult to transcribe, and sometimes it can take ages and the document isn't even that useful! That is a soul destroying moment!

She might also be disappointed where she is given a digital copy of the document than the real one for the means of conversation. Plus for some reason with how scruffy Ruby is, I would want to keep her away from 16th century documents for their protection !

She’s obviously half-inched that recipe from a website so why not just share the link rather than an artistic interpretation? There’s so much missing here it makes my baker’s soul hurt.

What’s the method? I’m assuming you curdle the ‘milk’ (soya? Oat? Almond? Pea? Potato?) with the vinegar but it’d be good to know. Equally do I cream the butter and sugar or just chuck everything in the bowl and hope for the best? Why are the fractions mixed - 2/3 of a cup of butter and 1.25 cups milk? How much vanilla - a teaspoon, a gallon? What size tin and what temperature oven, and for how long? Ok, we all know it‘ll be ‘in the aga until it’s a solid, deep brown, crisp disc that could injure you if dropped‘ but thow us a bone, Rubes. Honestly, if you’re going to present a recipe as your own at least make it make sense. And yes, cakes do have a habit of turning out bad when you don’t follow a method …

She propably asked chatGTP to come up with a recipe. That would explain the mix of fractions and that it doesn't really make sense

 

[Ilaariaa]

Why post this? It looks fecking nasty. Watery sauce, different types of pasta (so one is sure to be undercooked or overcooked), all the old crumbs down the side of the cooker, and the dusty pans in the background. It's just grim all around.

She would feel so much better if her house was cleaner. No wonder she always looks and sounds so grim and pasty and unmotivated.

When my house is dirty or messy my mental state gets a lot worse, I have no energy and I don't even want to leave my room because the mess stresses me out. Merely knowing that my kitchen is dirty or that I haven't done the laundry all week and it's piling up in the bin is a giant mental burden for me.
The only way to feel better is to force myself to break the vicious cycle, get up and clean even though I feel like I would literally rather die. Once everything is clean and decluttered again I feel way better.

She's quietly edited the post without replying to the person who corrected her. Nothing to see here, she JANUINELY read it, HONNASTLEEE!

Oh no that is more cringe than if she had just said she was clumsily referring to the playwright rather than the character. Or explained it was a typo and thanks for pointing it out (a lie we all know but anyway). In fact anything but that.

Preparing for Oxford

Post-Holiday Reset

How many more videos are we going to do about preparing for Oxford that doesn't include actually doing any studying?

"I was hoping to not buy another Apple Pencil, yet another thing that Apple makes you buy when you get a new Ipad" If you had done ANY research, you would have known the newer Ipads don't take the older Pencils anymore.

"Summer Study Plan" When does term start? There's a LOT of reading on that list and in my opinion, Summer is winding down already.

 

[Thehogonthelog]

Yet ANOTHER video with reused productivity tips.
Can't wait for her to actually go to Oxford and get busy with studying for real.

 

[ChocolateCakeYum]

I can’t believe I missed Ruby Granger being on this site!

My niece (who’s the same age as Ruby) used to watch her all the damn time and I often caught some of her stuff. She even had her god awful Erimentha Parker book which I once read out of morbid curiosity (time I’m still trying desperately to get back to no avail) and my god it was atrocious!

I‘m honestly surprised Ruby hasn’t lapsed into catatonic schizophrenia given her ridiculous time tables, unachievable productivity mambo jumbo and 40 books in a day nonsense.
