Exactly! And considering it's one of Ruby/Erimenthas rules to not read anything with those topics I'm interested to see if she ever does read it.

Also used in anaesthetics so you need to be very careful with dosing ...

Sorry! English isn't my native language.
Yeah if she still has to pay it back afterwards and doesn't need it wouldn't that be just another nuisance to think about? Is she doing it to be more relatable or something?I missed out on grants but yeah same here I had the full loan and it just about covered rent and food then I worked if I wanted to fund socialising or non essential stuff. It always makes me cringe when people complain that they don't get much maintenance loan, I used to get told I was lucky for getting the full loanlike coming from a background of poverty isn't lucky lol. I don't really have a problem with Ruby taking it out, just seems a fucking odd thing to do when she 100% doesn't need it!!

No need to apologise!
It's pretty similar - most places you need to submit your transcripts, a letter of motivation/personal statement, and sometimes you need to submit an example of your academic writing, along with getting a few referees. The biggest difference is that there's no limit on the number of places you can apply to, so she could in theory apply to every university in the UK if she wanted to.Oxford?
Not sure how the difficulty of the application process differs between BA and MA but I didn't see much change in Ruby since she started uni (or more lik eI see she's changed for worse). The Oxford rejection didn't teach her anything. All she does is rewriting notes and play pretend Anne with and e.

Agreed! That's one of the reasons I stopped watching people like Ruby who encourage reading an insane amount of books. You never get to enjoy a book and you always feel the need to keep pushing yourself further.What does she mean by "(including classics)"? Are they not books? Why specifically state that?
I'm also absolutely annoyed by how people comments section are comparing how much they've read to how much she read in a month. It's not a competition, it's not about quantity, it's not a tell-all about how productive you are. You wouldn't be comparing how many movies, tv shows or games you've played, have you? I really think this is such a toxic attitude... Not blaming Ruby for it here, it clearly is something that comes from people who are more prone to, as I've said, compare themselves to Ruby, but still.
Another nitpick of mine: why so many children's books? Not that there's anything wrong with them per se, but damn, you wanted to get more involved with the Holocaust topic, maybe you could've gone a bit further and do some WW2 reading as well?
Nevertheless, it'd be a good idea if she kept doing these videos on a monthly basis. I think they work better than a single video at the end of the year.
Got me in a few reading slumps...

She's definitely said she's a Ravenclaw. I think I recall her having a t shirt and a scarf!

How did you feel after receiving your mark? Were you expecting higher/lower?My first academic essay after a 12 year break was 56 - well done! Take the feedback and apply it to your next work. You will only improve from here
Also well done for returning to education after over a decade!

Yeah like I can also see them on another account, how bizarre
Yeah that's what I meant, I feel like one of the reasons why people voted for Brexit was not wanting us Southern and Eastern Europeans into their country and that often translates to being awful guests when visiting those countries.Her dad’s a tax avoider.... you can safely assume who and what he votes for
But of course this is all just guessing based on the impression I have of them. Ruby and her family may well be super considerate when it comes to other cultures.

They have a storage company and her dad is a director of various businesses, mostly in stock selling

I’d love to see her parents and her do the great British class calculator, if you haven’t done it, it’s a great tool, I guess depending on where you come from and what you’ve studied etc will change your perceptions on class etc! The old money vs new money is a good discussion point but we largely don’t know what much about Ruby’s family because she’s quite cut off about them (I’m mot a long term follower so I could have missed some stuff)
