how to write first class essays || write an essay with me 

Hi 💫I'm so glad so many of you have found this video helpful 😊I just wanted to pop on here to answer a few questions people have been asking about Studiosity: Q: Why is it free? A: Students get it free because their university has a partnership with Studiosity. Basically the uni pays for this extra support so that students get 24/7 help & feedback as part of their enrolment cost. Q: Why doesn't my uni have it? A: There are a growing number of UK universities that have partnered with Studiosity. If yours hasn't, you could reach out to your student services team to let them know that this kind of 24/7 support is something you'd really like and benefit from. They might have other services that you could use too. Q: Isn't this considered 'cheating'? A: Nope! :) Universities pay for students to use this service; they wouldn't provide it if they didn't think it was a trustworthy way for students to get support 🙈 The Specialists don't provide answers or edit/proofread students' work, ever. They just provide guiding feedback to help students edit and improve their own work.

As a maths person, I can't think of anything worse than having to write an essay. But the way you approached it and your use of Notion toggles makes it looks... almost...fun???

Fun fact Ruby: if you want a toggle on notion, you can enter the greater than sign (>) then a space, and it automatically turns into a toggle!

i’m literally planning an essay rn... i needed this!!!

Goals, I struggle to get assignments done and she has time to do practice essays .....

I don't even have to write essays for my degree. Will i still watch this 15 minute guide on how to do it anyways? Of course. Ruby could legit upload anything and I'd watch it.

Ruby disliking documents that aren’t aligned is a MOOD. 😂😂

I am currently cramming an essay for an English class tomorrow, HOW did you know?!

So fun to see how someone in a different field approaches their work. I am a botany student, currently competing a masters in research. I got a 1.1 in my degree and actually graduated top of my class but my lifestyle definitely differed from yours. I worked as a bartender in my final year (around 20 hours a week, I know, probably too much). The whole late night lifestyle turned me fairly nocturnal and I studied from 6pm until 6am towards my final exams. It was so hectic but all the hard work paid off. I just want people to know you can achieve good grades in all sorts of lifestyles. Find what works for you. You can achieve great things once you're willing to put the time in.

Ruby , the truth is I get motivated to study whenever I watch your videos Keep going... Waiting for next video

I have no idea why but nowadays there's something about your videos. It's lovely to see how comfortable you've got over the past 5 years. The topics have gotten more personal and relatable. Thanks 😊

Me: getting ready to play games and diss studies RU-vid: Rubygranger has posted a new video Me: Cancels the game with friends and sits down to watch to get motivation A moment later.... Me: Study Study Study 📒📃📜📖📗📚📝🗒

I've been struggling with an article for almost 2 years! And this video allow me to write it in like two days. Thank you so much for this Ruby!

I always watch your videos, whenever if I'm getting unmotivated or feeling unproductive... You are productive and stick to a task until it get its perfection.

This is a home run Ruby - better than any advice I ever received from a teacher or professor. Thank you for taking the time to share your process.

Omggg I love how smiley ruby always is in her videos!!

Hi Ruby! Your essay writing process is brilliant. as a post-grad student in theology, writing longs essays can be soo daunting. Bullet points is such a great way to make tiny progress and actually make sure your writing in a logical manner. I'VE BENEFITED A LOT FROM THIS

Regarding searching on google scholar: Instead of just typing in the relevant words, use smart searches and Boolean methods. If you use quotation markers it will search exactly for that phrase. For example, if you type: 19th century American literature, without quotation marks, it can pull up results for “American” and “literature” but if you use “19th century American literature” it will ONLY show up results with that entire phrase. Equally use AND and OR. For example, I do medieval PhD so if I wanted to look for sources on late medieval art and Eucharistic theology, I could write in google scholar: “Late medieval” OR Renaissance OR “fifteenth century”AND “Eucharistic theology” All in one search, and relevant searches would then appear exactly to match my topic.

I enjoy when you make videos more in depth videos about your work fo university. Literature was one of my options, but I opted for another major, so I like living vicariously through you

I love watching these videos because as a first year English major, I'm trying to find new methods for essay planning.

I totally relate to the proof reading! What we typically do in our friend group is exchange papers and provide each other with feedback. Also super useful! Especially because other people will have a different view/knowledge and this always helps to improve it. Would definitely recommend! Plus it gives you ideas and inspiration for your own paper, even though we typically have different subjects.

Super useful to see how someone else goes through the process of essay writing! Lately I've been focusing on how I can improve my essay writing skills instead of necessarily spending more time on the writing itself. I really like focusing on improving my general skills as I feel this will continuously benefit my future self. Anyways, thanks for sharing your process! Love your content

Honestly, Ruby really helps me coping up with my school probs. Ya know i ain't a good student lol. But she motivates me to keep on moving which is why i adore her

I truly cannot put into words how much you inspire me Ruby. Thank you so much for your amazing content and vibes!

Girl you are spoiling us with those great videos thank you Ruby ✨❣️

Right before I sit down to write my dreadful Music essay, Ruby posts this. You`re a lifesaver, Ruby Granger!

I love the positive energy she motivates me so much

This is one if the most helpful videos I've watched! I'm doing tons of essay writing this year and really needed it. Thank you so much!!

I have never been able to study like this, I tend to mull it over in my head, get the out line in the head and then just write the essay, leave it a few days re read it and see what needs altering, but I have autistic spectrum disorder so may be it's a quirk of that.

As a maths and science enthusiast this seriously gives me motivation to do essays for English, thank you Ruby ☺️

I would love to see more videos like this, it was super helpful!

I started again to study and you are very inspiring. You are an angel of kindness. 💐

Watching Ruby work is like watching a painter work in his painting Full of passion! Just love u so much U have acted as my motivation source though your video this whole year and I regret not finding your channel much before but better late than never... Love you sooo much :)

It's so strange that is been only 7 seconds after the video has uploaded, but even now it has 3 views???

thank you so much, this is perfect for english literature!

Watching this as I pack for school. The vibes are immaculate.

Hi Ruby, your recent uploads and consistency has been so amazing and your videos really motivate me! Thank you so much for your content

thank you so much Ruby! this was so so helpful!!!

Thank you for this, really needed this! ✨

I just had to write my first essay in years, for the first exam of my college degree that I started on this fall. And I just gotta say, your method here of creating an outline with toggles and bullet points in notion, completely saved my ass. I was really stressed because I wasn't able to start writing when I was supposed to, but with this method I knew I wouldn't get stuck and everything would be fine, so I was able to just focus well and write the whole thing in just a day. And in addition I'm actually super happy with how it turned out! So thank you!!!

You are a very strong and exemplary woman, please continue this.💪🏾👊🏻✊🏿

You are so productive ❤️❤️❤️❤️

i got assigned 3 analytical essays, the first essay assignment I had ever gotten, I've been freaking on how to do the outline and everything. I'll definitely keep this in mind

hey ruby! one useful notion tip i've picked up is to type the > symbol to trigger the "toggle" function instead of typing out /toggle like you did in 6:21, which will save you loads of time in the long run!! loved the video 💕 stay safe xx

History essay due in this week, you've saved my life, thank you! ❤️

I have to write my first seminar paper and we are starting the planning phase. This is perfect i just downloanded notability for planning it and i have your planner so ill be using that for making list of what i need to do. Your planner has saved my grades this term

Ruby it's very very very helpful! Thank you so much!

Thanks Ruby, this gave me the motivation to write my essay! Perfect timing! And yay I'm somewhat early :)

I've graduated from Uni now but still love watching your videos for a productivity boost in general ❤️

You're so pretty wearing the black turtleneck in the end of the video! Thanks for the video, it was very helpful!!!

A video I was longing to watch 💯❤️❤️❤️finally !!!

Yesss. I always wanted to know how you do it! Thanks you!

Never was this early on Ruby's video . Yayyy!!!❤️🎉🎉

I am writing an essay (trying, actually) right now. This video really helped me, thank you so much!😍

This is so helpful!! Thank you so much, great timing👑💕

Would love to see how you organise your notion!

Great video ruby! I just opened up my study tube because of you xx writing this sat on the seafront in autumn reading Harry Potter living my. Best life

I am writing an essay for high school. Thank you. Keep up with your good work.

i needed this, ty ruby !!

Thanks Ruby this will be helpful!! Hope you're well! :)

Today is my 25th birthday Ruby! I am finished with my academic studies, having achieved an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a Masters in Forensic Psychology. I only discovered you after all this but if I had known you then you really would have helped my procrastination! Thank you for all you do and keep up the good work :D

This video came at a perfect time for me! Thank you for the video 😊

Finally she did it!!! I hope now she do how she plans on Notion !!

Thanks ruby. Just finished my essay ❤

Idk if it was watching you do it, the method or the motivation I’m feeling today but I just planned a good bit of my work report! Thank you!

As someone who never had to write an essay (we have a different schooling pedagogy I guess in my country) I've always been curious about the details. Thank you for this ruby.❤️

Thanks! This really help me a lot. I always feel anxious and keep worrying the essay in progress, which makes me easy to lose sleep...

This was very much needed!! I have my first essay that counts for uni due in soon!!

Funnily enough, I've been encouraged by a lot of my tutors to use "I" in an essay and not to shy away from it. For example saying "I argue that" rather than something like "It can be argued that" clearly demonstrates that you're discussing your viewpoint rather than the viewpoint of other critics and literature, which can make the structure clearer and the argument more compelling. It might be different for other courses though; I study Sociology at Bristol. Also, I relate so much to the document alignment thing and am very glad I'm not the only one 😂

This motivates me to get up and write my essay ^^ Thank you

Actually i live down the road from Mark Twain’s Summer home where he would write!!! Love your videos ruby!!

This was so helpful. Thank you so much!

I needed this. ❤️

This is soo helpful!! I love your videos! They give me the motivation I need in this hard times! (Also,at the end of the year i have an exam wich will preety much decide my future,so..wish me luck in this journey😂😅)♥️♥️♥️✨

Thank you for this video! This was very helpful.

This was so so helpful!!!❤❤❤

Hey ruby! I really appreciate the type of content you upload, it is really inspiring and motivates me to do my best everyday. I was wondering if you could make a video to show us how does notion works, because I really want to use it properly and organize my daily routines ☺️ thank you!! Sending all the love and greetings from Peru ❤️

Great video thanks ruby!

I find it always very interesting to see the difference between humanities and STEM studies.

THANK YOU RUBY 💕😄

Love your sweater

This is actually pretty close to how I write essays but it was interesting to see anyway xx

I think I plan my essays in a similar way... how reassuring! :)

Ruby granger videos: something that I never procrastinate to watch😀

Thank you so much for this video, Ruby! I have a Shakespeare revision due next week that I need to do some major work on and this came at the perfect moment. Cheers!

I just did my first uni mock exams after 5 weeks of teaching and got two 2.1’s and a 2.2 I’m really happy with it!

I‘m kind of mad you didn’t make this video earlier 😂. This is so helpful. I’ll definitely rewatch it to take notes. Thank you Ruby! ☺️

I really wanted to watch ur video and here I found a new one❤️🎉

Thank You Ruby❤

planning my dissertation so this is v helpful

Thank you for giving me an idea.

I need this for when I retake my English class to be placed in the right English class

You could do a video, where you show how you organise your Notion :) it would be really cool !

I always aspire to be like Ruby when studying. Instead I am now watching this instead of writing an 8 page essay that is due in a week, and I've already procrastinated for a week

I loved this ❤
