Yes, just like Jack Edwards is experiencing now. If you aren't perpetually a student, you aren't going to get the same demographics of audience that you did as a first year Fresher. If you can't develop your content as your own life changes, and try to cling to the student demographic you profited so much from, you'll just alienate yourself.Thing is, when she finishes uni, a lot of these companies won't want to work with her anymore because she won't be relevant because she wont be studying.
I actually thought of Jade watching that - more to do with the dancing I guess!
Does this remind y'all of anyone?
Yes his channel is tanking now, and you can see the desperation, bless him!Yes, just like Jack Edwards is experiencing now.

Bet he's seething in a corner thinking: "If they'd accepted me into Oxford, I'd be doing so much better now!" I wonder if Ruby thinks the same - if she'd gone to Oxford, her videos would have been more aesthetic.Yes his channel is tanking now, and you can see the desperation, bless him!
I was thinking about this yesterday as I was doing chores (lol i need think about other things it seems)... I can imagine if she got in she would really push the dark academia aesthetic by walking around in boaters and pigtails, wearing a leather satchel and doing study with me videos in the Oxford libraries with a candle. I like a bit of that vibe but I can imagine her going a bit theatrical with it. I do feel for her that her dream didn’t happen though. I wonder how she feels about Eve being there, and I bet Ruby would probably know friends from her school there too.Bet he's seething in a corner thinking: "If they'd accepted me into Oxford, I'd be doing so much better now!"

I honestly think Oxford would have crushed Ruby. I know a few Oxbridge grads and the ones who tended to do well in that system were undoubtedly clever but also very, very confident. The people who were a bit more fragile, or who needed a bit more pastoral support really seemed to struggle.I wonder how she feels about Eve being there, and I bet Ruby would probably know friends from her school there too.
This 100%, someone in my year who went to Cambridge (since graduated) was top of our year all the time but it was a big fish in a small pond situation so when they got to Cambridge and were surrounded by people just as smart (and smarter!) it absolutely knocked them for six, first year was a huge adjustment for them bc they'd always been hyped up by our school for being sooo smart (which they are) but at Oxbridge everyone is super smart and you have to really work to be #1, and I think Ruby would've had a similar crisis had she got inPlus, I feel like she likes to be seen as super intelligent and I reckon it would have burst her ego that she is not as clever as some people or a similar level to herself.
Oooh it autocorrected. I was trying to say I pronounced epitome as epi-tome (rhymes with home) when it's meant to be epitomie (rhymes with gastronomy).OT but what do you mean? Epitome and epitomise are two separate words and are pronounced differently
It depends what kind of job they go into. I’ve got some friends in the city paying something mad like £150 a month so that on top of income tax (they’re in top bracket) is a huge chunk. Maybe they would have been better having their parents pay it off
Re her career after I think she’ll do an MA and then maybe go into publishing? It’s incredibly hard to be a full time author and even though she has a following I don’t know how far that would guarantee success- her writing needs to be good.
Has anyone read her book/s? How’s her writing?
I could see her doing an MA in something like Children’s Literature and then going into publishing or editorial work - she reads a lot of YA and juvenile literature so she might as well embrace that and study it too. I can’t see her enjoying a PGCE beyond the study aspects, and I don’t think she’d like classroom practice at all. As for an academic career, you need a massively thick skin to go down that route as it’s endlessly competitive. Lots of MA and PhD students think they will have an academic career but the reality is very different!I can imagine ruby staying in academia, maybe trying for a masters at Oxford. Then becoming and academic and lecturer. Either that, or a teacher at her old school.
I agree. She really couldn't manage in a classroom as the constant scrutiny would push her over the edge.I could see her doing an MA in something like Children’s Literature and then going into publishing or editorial work - she reads a lot of YA and juvenile literature so she might as well embrace that and study it too.

I couldn't imagine her managing a classroom of kids either if they were anything like the kids I went to school withI agree. She really couldn't manage in a classroom as the constant scrutiny would push her over the edge.
She would never, having to work worth other people too, I assume she’ll start up some kind of extra business herself on top of the planners she currently sellsI couldn't imagine her managing a classroom of kids either if they were anything like the kids I went to school with
omg thats my course AND uniAhh no way! I’m doing American Studies (well taking a year out because I can’t go abroad this year)what did you study? I’ve no idea why Ruby is doing 2 30 credit modules,I couldn’t cope only doing 2!
As far as I remember the cottage hasn’t been mentioned again. I would expect it is probably being rented as she always films from her parents’ home and seems to live there full time at the moment.I had completely forgotten about this cottage she bought! Has she mentioned it again? I wonder if she's renting it? Do we know how much it cost her?
I'm actually quite curious to know how well she's doing with money. She's been making videos for a long time and she gets pretty constant views + sponsors here and there. I wonder if her sister gets a bit jealous of that... I always wonder how the relationship is between them, they are polar opposites.
