Ruby Granger

[tsuyu]

Just watched her most recent video and went to refresh the page and now it's saying its private? I wonder why-

I'm gonna guess the video you watched wont be the same as the one up on her channel now?? If that was a first draft uploaded by accident

I think ruby is happy to do the extra work she makes for herself

Yeah definitely, she needs to get some hobbies to do instead. What will her life look like when she works a 9-5 and can't take work home with her?

 

[not fussed at all]

Yep, she‘s got a first

Good for her. As for the compulsive exercising, not a single comment (that I can see) on the video

Her surname isn't Granger, which is weird because I'm sure her linkedin has Granger on, but it's not her actual name

Really? That's a bit weird..?

I don’t think I can be bothered to reactivate my Facebook to look. Is it private?

I’m just watching her new video and she only does 2 modules?! She does way too much work for that, I do 6 modules and don’t do half as much as Ruby does!!

I can't speak for Exeter but I did do an English Literature Undergraduate degree elsewhere. Typically you do 60 credits per semester, and depending on weighting it would be 6 10 credits modules or a combination of 10 and 20 credits, so let's say between 3-6 modules per semester. So to do just 2, I don't quite understand...unless she's actually a part time student? In 3rd year some project modules are more heavily weighted, but for second year I am surprised. Are there any Exeter students here who can confirm?

I found her latest story with the pants very pretty, I find most of her stories cringy but for some reason I actually liked that one

Does anyone know if Ruby has ever mentioned if she can drive? That's something a lot of teenagers long to be able to do, but I have never seen her behind the wheel nor mentioning that she has driven herself anywhere.

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.

 

[emmer_moans]

What is dark academia - is it the aesthetic of old libraries and wood panelled classrooms, and pinafores? I’d never hear the phrase until Ruby mentioned it in a video.

I couldn't watch with the sound on because it felt cringe, but at the same time it was lovely to see her let loose a bit, she is always so structured and straight-laced usually, so it was a nice change. Talking of straight-laced, I cannot get over how completely different her sister is - do you think she just thought, I'll never live up to a sister like Ruby so I am just going to go completely crazy and off the rails so nobody can possibly compare us? It comes across that way, anyway - must be hard growing up with a sister like Ruby, however lovely she is surely there is competition? Unless that is just me, I am a very competitive person by nature and my brother and I are honestly totally different people, but I still used to compete and compare when we were younger! I wonder why she still hasn't created a video to address why she moved home and what Blakeney's situation is now. They seemed so suited to living together, it was lovely to see Ruby interacting on a social level in her videos, not just studying. I do honestly like Ruby, I think she's sweet, but I do worry for her because her obsessive "life control" just doesn't seem healthy?

It happens.
Most of the siblings I know have completely different personalities (including me and my sis), it’s quite normal imo.
Competition among siblings sounds unhealthy and exhausting

omg thats my course AND uni

EDIT: Im a graduate now tho, I don't understand how she does so much work for her classes ... perhaps I was a lazy student, but I don't remember doing as much as her.

Such a small world! I definitely don’t do as much work as her and I consider myself a goody two shoes who does more work than others!

 

[triangles]

Does she share her house with just Blakely (I love that name) or with other people too? Like did they make their other housemates attend a 3hr house meeting with an agenda????

 

[Silentcritique]

Sounded like TV to me it was that loud

 

[newtoyou]

Isn’t she in second year English but it’s actually her third year at Exeter ?

Ok I had to rewatch the video because I was convinced she only moved to English in January but it was Oct 2019?!

Anyway you’re right, this is her third year at uni and second as an English student

 

[ProphecyLost]

If its still delicate wouldn't she ve better off with a support bandage

 

[ECH]

She needs to stop making to-do lists and rewriting notes several times. Literally I understand people who like making their notes pretty ( and admire it) but its not very efficient/practical for studying because your brain power is split between learning new info and focusing on keeping things organized/aesthetic/etc, at least I know I would get caught up with making my notes pretty and not absorb as much actual info.

Literally I just made messy notes and studied them. I certainly didn't rewrite them.

Yeah, I could understand rewriting notes if it was the whole condensing them down thing, but I think Ruby is fully just doing it for the aesthetic and I do not understand

 

[3calico3]

If its the poster I'm thinking about (username begins with W) they've been obsessed with her for YEARS, her essays on Ruby are tiring to read and just downright rude and uncalled for

They are still active on GG (we're up to Part 4 right now), didn't realise how long some posters have been following Ruby's exploits.

 

[3calico3]

Her hands always look so stubby to me - something about them is odd. I’ve always thought it

It's a genetic trait, I believe it's called stub thumbs. It causes the tip and nail of the fingers/thumbs to be short and wide.

 

[Deeznutslol]

Do you have any screenshots/videos as proof?
That’s hilarious if true, and doesn’t surprise me one bit

Nah it was like 3 years ago I think, and she took it down within like a minute. If anyone does tho I would love to see it again
