Just watching her "week before my dissertation is due" video and just wondering whether she'll ever update her YouTube description. It still says "I'm about to start my MA at Oxford in September". 😂

Edit: OMG, she actually wore those chunky Doc Marten's with her summer dress for the ball? And she brought her commonplace book and her dissertation? What is she like! :rolleyes:

Why is the she uploading this now when she left Oxford weeks ago? I mean Trinity Term finished on the 15th of June so she should have uploaded this a week after not nearly 6 weeks later.
I was going to say this, it seems so late now! She's either dragging the Oxford thing out for views, it's poor time management and she has nothing else to post, or it's both

So little Oxford (university-wise) in the actual Oxford. This looks like a weekend trip with friends that anybody could do and not necessarily an Oxford student.

Last week in Oxford: leaves Oxford twice to go to Stratford and Cambridge 😅

Slightly shocked that she stayed up until “past 5AM” in Cambridge. Nice to see she actually socialised in her last week! And working on a job application… do we think this is the library summer job?

A little late with this one, yet again. Honestly, I couldn't even understand about 75% of what she was saying. Other sounds, muffling, mumbling, bad editing, impossible. What is with her snobby attitude, too? She seems so full of herself, yet she is constantly making mistakes, spills food down her clothes, always so awkward. Finding out how long kids attended school in Shakespeare's time was just another testament of how she jumped into a time period for her Masters and didn't know much of anything about it. We learned stuff like this back in High School, when we studied Shakespeare and the Elizabethan Age. She just isn't very smart, is she! The way she talks about taking in all the Oxford libraries at the last minute confirms to me, at least, that she doesn't know when she is going back yet, or if ever, and her library stint also won't be there. I still think she will be working at her old local school and continue to live at home. She can't have a summer library job. Summer is almost over and she is off in Copenhagen or something. Just bizarre, as usual. The whole thing still reeks of being a tourist at Oxford and vicinities, not an actual student.

I noticed that with just how poor the audio was the entire time. Had to turn subtitles on 🙄

She graduated from perhaps the most prestigious university in the world and yet she doesn't know what AM and PM mean (I genuinely laughed at this) and was amazed by the knowledge of a tour guide. I don't doubt the tour guide was amazing but shouldn't a Master Degree holder know more?

That being said, Ruby seemed more relaxed and engaged here and that was nice.

I learned about Shakespeare's education during my Intro to Plays 101 class lol
Why are all her AXEFUD friends North Amerìcan?
Maybe Americans are charitable people?

Americans are known for their very fake cheeriness and over the top smiles so I guess it's part of the pack ( generalisation here of course, but most americans we see as tourists or colleagues coming for a year here are like that, they are rather surprised we don't have the huge corporate grin all day long).

There's a ton of very simple everyday things that Ruby struggles with, and I really don't understand why would any university offer a diploma to someone like that. It's not like if she was a true genius for more abstract concepts either.

Despite the poor editing and audio I don't mind this video because it's actually want I want to see from her. Ruby out doing things and living her life with other people. And genuinely doing things, not just doing them for content which seems to be the sole purpose for 90% of things she does.

And she can say whatever she wants about being an introvert, she looks far more happier and relaxed in this video being around other people her own age than she ever looks when she's alone or with her family.

Also, she has MUCH better chemistry with Holly than she does with Blakeney. It seems to reciprocal relationship where both parties like each other equally, where it always seems like Ruby likes Blakeney a lot more than Blakney likes Ruby and so Ruby is always trying to impress her and keep her attention.
