I love how she justifies a new phone case as part of her 'personal learning' requirements. 61 quid, too!

Yeah, I wouldn't fault Ruby for not going to parties, getting drunk or hooking up with people. That might be the stereotypical view of the uni social experience, but it's not for everyone and there's nothing wrong with that. The real problem is that Ruby tried everything she could to avoid engaging with any aspect of the university experience.
At Exeter, she ran home at every possible opportunity and avoided campus wherever possible. After her first year, she avoided all extracurricular groups and activities. She didn't appear to socialise with anyone beyond the couple of friends she made in her first year. She refused to engage with the learning experience of university. She avoided the library. She refused to do the required reading and opted to use cheating shortcuts, study guides, wiki summaries, condensed AI-generated essay recaps and Blakeney's briefs on the modules' reading instead. She actively avoided learning anything or doing her own work wherever she could.
At Oxford, it's telling that when she was forced to engage with university more, she looked infinitely more miserable. She was forced to spend time in the library to get her DARK MACADAMIA/Hogwarts mileage out of Oxford for content. She was forced to stay on campus more due to the campus proximity rules. She was forced to do more work for herself since she had no Blakeney to copy from. The end result was her sneering and grimacing her way through every vlog, looking like she was there at gunpoint.
I still don't believe for a second that she legitimately enjoys either the structure or the practice of academia. She clearly has no interest in learning anything or engaging with the material being taught. She's visibly miserable in a challenging academic setting and hopelessly disorganised and disinterested despite the structured learning experience she's been offered.
But a huge amount of her fake persona hinges on trying to appear intelligent, productive and organised, which having a scheduled timetable of pretending to learn things feeds into. Her new "curriculum" is just the same recycled list of things she always pretends to learn about and research (yet never has anything beyond the most basic, borrowed, superficial thoughts on), no doubt only chosen because she has a stack of old lecture notes to rehash and parrot from again over the next year while she's pretending to learn things in staged vlogs.

4,5 hours. I would have run away.
I think as well that Ruby has given herself a structure with her free learning and to be honest her routines that she is that she isn't alone with her thoughts and it restricts the free time that she has. It's like being in school where a good bit of the day is set out of you and a lot people first going to university struggle with the free time and needing to organise themselves.
She must get bored being without a proper job or regularly doing things such as seeing friends. She is at a stage as well where many of her friends will be getting jobs and moving on from this part of their lives. Some people she knows form school might have a relationship, have a career, have a family, and experienced real life while Ruby seems to cling onto school in general and is left behind and acts like a school child. The scheduled learning gives her a purpose and justification for the amount of free time she has or why she can't just grow up and get a proper job ect.

She bought a second-hand book and is now complaining because there are annotations 
Bit rich coming from someone who has been known to gift books she annotated herself. Oh but I guess that’s different, because every little brown nugget that breaks off her steaming pile of a brain is golden wisdom, not like the rest of us plebs who scribble in books.

I can't drive, well I can but I don't have a license because I am scared of driving (I am working on it, taking lessons) but I've been working since I was 16. I am 34 now and have a well paid full-time job, three degrees and I am fully independent. I live in Los Angeles, which has awful public transportation but I get by. Where there's a will to be independent, there's a way.

Good luck to you!Me too! My dad got a small automatic car and I've been practicing on his car. I'd like to eventually be able to buy a car and drive myself to work instead of taking public transport. I also want to be a confident driver before I start a family with my partner.
I believe in us

This goes with her "not like other girls", "special child" identity. I doubt she believes victims and I am sure sexual scandals disgust her so she rather look the other way.Oh girl

Ruby when defacing books in past videos: "IT'S YOKAY TYEU ANNYOTATE BOCKS AND COVER THAM IN STICKERS AND DYEEDLES! This means that theeee reader becomes part of the bock and avveryone hyooo reads theee bock aaahfta tham will see tham in theee bock and each bock becomes a yoonique acksperience."
Also Ruby: "How DAEHHR YEUUU annotate moiy bock bafwore oiy buy it!"
Commenters: "Buying an annotated book is cool because it's like the person/people who read it before become part of your reading experience."
Ruby: "ACKSHUALLY that's a VARRY GUD POINT! Oiy'd navver considered that befwore!"
Ruby's 5 second memory is the gift that keeps on giving.
1. How old is she?? She presents herself as if she’s 15/16 going off her voice but I can’t comprehend she’s a over 18
2. She’s even in education for so lonnggg like is she not tired of studying n stuff I’m confused she started before I even went uni n I graduate this year it’s insane

her spending habits are weird.
dropping hundreds on stuff she doesn't need like iPads/earphones/phone cases etc is fine.
hesitating on books that she wants (second hand at that)... couldn't possibly buy them.
also, her buying second hand, misshapen and washed out clothing from charity shops...I swear, she looks like a slob. I know she thinks she's too intellectual and academic to "put thoughts into clothing" but Ruby, if you spend money on nice fitting clothing that'll last and you'll look more put together. Also, if you've got online presence and constantly showing close ups of your hands etc, go get a manicure, (no colour gels or acrylics needed. just a nice nude or clear) it's literally like £15.. you look like a tramp.
and also get a haircut jfc
sorry for the rant guys, she's really annoying me lately lol

I hate that new oversized navy starry cardigan she has. It's going to feature in every video, isn't it?
I reckon Ruby thinks it looks like Coraline‘s jumper, so yes, it will appear continuously until it disappears into the vortex of crap that fills the Granger household.
y'all i looked at her pinterest earlier today and its STILL creepy and filled with children in nightgrowns, lying on beds etc i know she may not be collecting these pics in a nefarious manner but it's very telling of where her mental state is at.
The major difference is usually:
- If it's gifted or a sponsored product, then it's fine with her that it's insanely overpriced because she's not paying.
- If she has to pay for it herself, then she'll whine about the price of it, regardless of how inconsequential the cost is to her.
On the flipside, if she has to pay for something that's supposedly right in her wheelhouse, she'll find any excuse to avoid buying it. She'll complain about the cost of books because she doesn't actually want to read or own them. She doesn't want to pay for them, she only wants them if they're free. It's why she rattled off a list of JANUINELY her absolute dream wishlist of books that she aspired to own, but refused to buy a single one of them because they were somehow prohibitively expensive at £10-£30 each.
She also thinks pretending she can't afford things makes her appear relatable, despite filming her videos from the comfort of a literal manor home. She's got the brainpower of a potato.
I think that's the thing that annoys me so much, instead of coming across as relatable it comes across as almost mocking towards the viewers. Like, clearly you can afford it, we know you can clearly afford it, why are you pretending that you can't because we can see your (albeit filthy) surroundings and all the sponsorships you do. Bloody hell, typing this made me annoyed.
Has she deleted her Coraline posts except the first one or is that just my feed?
I can only see the post from 5 days ago
I can also only see the post from 5 days ago and it does appear that she has deleted all of her Coraline posts expect for this one.
Watch her not acknowledge or mention or apologize at all
