usually if there’s nothing on ebay, that means the brand isn’t worth anything — people don’t even bother reselling

I'll stick to Joules then... I have incredibly Tory taste in fashion 
This supports my thoughts about her trying to cosy up to her lecturers and be their 'friend'. I also feel that she probably doesn't expect her peers to be as insightful as she is, so doesn't necessarily value their contributions.Also, some of my friends have been in seminars with her and apparently she's quite nice (if a little precocious) but mostly keeps to herself and seems more keen to chat with the professor than socialise with her peers. People who lived in her first year halls have also said that she constantly made noise complaints, which honestly doesn't surprise me! I think she's a nice person but she's VERY sheltered, and her videos are absolutely not an accurate depiction of what uni life is like. It's kind of become a meme among Exeter students that the uni sponsors her
I can absolutely picture her making noise complaints all the time - let's face it, Ruby isn't the most flexible of people, nor someone who would hesitate to remind people of the rules (at least indirectly!). Other people are outside of her control (whether they are annoying her by simply being young/a typical student, or getting better marks than her), and I think that will always bother her.
I 100% agree with this! She's a very rigid person in many ways, as evidenced by her minute-by-minute timetabling. She defo had very close relationships with her teachers at school (I suppose partly due to the tiny class sizes) and seems to speak about them more often than any friends her own age. So I think she is trying to replicate that at uni - I seem to remember her saying that she wrote Christmas cards to her seminar leaders!
Also, take this with a pinch of salt as I can't be 100% certain that it's her, but I'm pretty sure I saw Blakeney a few days ago when I was out for a walk in Exeter. If it was her, then I hope she's okay with Ruby being gone! Perhaps it wasn't her, or maybe a friend of hers temporarily took Ruby's place in the house, but regardless I feel bad for her if she was left there alone
I don’t think it’s allowed but how would one find out her private school, I’ve worjed in that sector before so know quite a few of them
I won't say the name but I think it begins with a P
I couldn't even imagine my parents spending this much on my education
It went to a good comp and managed to get a 2:1 from a Russell Group. I’d be furious if I were her parents and paid so much for education for Ruby to be the way she is. She lacks all the character private schools are known for instilling.I won't say the name but I think it begins with a P

does anyone know what her parents do? I knew that they were wealthy but I didn’t realise they were THAT wealthy. To put both of them through private school at £28000 a year is crazy. That’s nearly my year salary!
As far as I know her dad works in finance in London (So good money there) and her mum does a lot of odd things, I think she was an opticians assistant, among other things. I reckon they probably come from money too
Okay so I found her parents linkedin, I won't link them here but her dad is a stock broker (has been at the same company for 20+ years according to linkedin) and........

Ruby has her issues, I'm not defending her all of her behaviour here, but I'd argue that private schools don't instil character. They are institutions run for profit that ensure that the children of wealthy remain wealthy. They ensure the offspring of the wealthy pass state exams and take up as many extra-circular activities as possible in order to appear viable candidates for top universities. They introduce their students to the 'right' type of people who can open doors for them when it comes to getting into the world of work. And parents of private school children expect nothing less, because they are paying hefty fees. They want their money's worth. These private schools/competitive parents plan their kid's futures to the point where you'd wonder where does the young person's own free-will and desires come into it. The private schools (and culture they create as a byproduct of this) care not about a young person's personal development or mental health at all, all they care about is creating students who are a walking advertisement for their schools. Highly successful young people... on paper.
My best friend was sent to a hyper-competitive, elite girls school after graduation, when she entered the 'real world' and went to university.. well, she had a nervous breakdown and ended up being sectioned under the mental health act. Like Ruby, she had lived such a sheltered life where the metrics of success were predetermined for her. So when she was forced to interact with people outside this elite bubble and deal with independence in uni, she couldn't.
And tbh, I think some of this cycle of elitism and expectations apply to Ruby. I'm not excusing some of her behaviours, but I think the sheltered and meticulously planned environments she grew up in is partly to blame for the way she is.

wow it looks fancy as hell
Did Martha definitely go there too? I always got the impression they went to different schools, for some reason, but maybe I just can't imagine Martha in that setting!
They both went to the same school. I struggle to imagine her there too
This prep school costs more than my entire uni educationI won't say the name but I think it begins with a P

I can now kind of imagine how devasted she was when she didn't get into Oxford. I would feel extremely guilty towards my parents if they had paid this amount of money for my education.She left for college in 6th form I think
I know Ruby’s school very well and it all makes sense now
all explains why she is the way she is
I can see her staying at uni for the longest time possible and then either staying at uni for a job or becoming a writer.
yes, i'd say either staying in academia or being overly-productive trying to have different sources of income like ali abdaal does (investing in real estate, remember she bought a cottage being only 18, and pushing her own brand, pumpking productivity, just like holly gabrielle does with narna and her tutoring business)
i don't see her in a corporate job, in an office and having a boss
What’s funny is that Ruby can’t even pronounce academia correctly, whenever she embarrassingly bangs on about “dark academic” she pronounces akadaymear. For someone who loves English lit, her writing and pronunciation is atrocious. Don’t get me wrong, mine isn’t great but I don’t bang on about books like she does
Honestly my pronunciation of stuff is tit too. I found out at the ripe old age of 24 that epitome isn't pronounced epi-tome but epitomiseWhat’s funny is that Ruby can’t even pronounce academia correctly, whenever she embarrassingly bangs on about “dark academic” she pronounces akadaymear.

My problem is that I read widely as a kid but never heard the words out loud so pronounce them incorrectly because they're stuck in my brain with the wrong pronunciation lol.
