Frequently Asked Questions:
😇 How old are you? 23
📝 What are you studying? I am set to start my MA in English Literature at Oxford this autumn.
📚What are your favourite books? • 200 book recommendatio...
📚 Do you have a book club? Yes! You can join it here for free: fable.co/club/reading-with-th...
📝 Have you written a book? My life goal is to be a published author and make a living from writing and I am using this year to gain experience, build up a portfolio and work on a book with my agent. I have just finished the final draft of that book, as you can see in this video. I did self-publish a book about bullying when I was seventeen which is available on Amazon (amzn.to/3mdJKLm), but I'm slightly embarrassed by it now!
🎃 Do you have merch? I don't have merch in the traditional sense (I can't imagine selling something with my face or name on haha!), but I do have a stationery company where I sell planners for students. These are all designed with students in mind and follow models which I've used when planning my studying. Our products are printed in pastel colours on recycled paper: bit.ly/3wgsR85
🍵 What's your favourite tea? That's a REALLY hard one, but I think I'd have to say the B&B Chocolate Digestive Tea: bird-and-blend-tea-co.sjv.io/youwilllovethisone (affiliate link)

I've been deliberating for a few minutes whether or not to comment this, but I just wanted to say that it was so refreshing and validating to hear someone so openly and casually mention having a therapy appointment. I have been having sessions for a number of years and always feel a bit nervous to mention it. You have given me such a confidence boost. Thank you for being your wonderful, transparent self.

@@declancampbell1277 I was so nervous when I went to my first therapy session, hoping that no one would notice. Turns out therapy was really great for me and I spoke quite openly about it in my friend group, thus influencing a friend of mine to start going to therapy as well. I was so proud of him when he told me, I think most people would be better off seeing a therapist and you're definitely not "weak" and should not be ashamed :)

C.S. Lewis was a master of allegorical imagery, and I’m so glad you’re reading his works. There is a large collection of his essays available as a PDF file online titled God in the Dock-I highly recommend it. The talks he did on BBC radio during WWII must have surely bolstered those listening during those arduous days; those scripts eventually becoming the basis for Mere Christianity, one of the best Christian apologetics books ever written. I am very happy that you’re adjusting so well to your new and beautiful surroundings. Cheers!

Hi ruby!! I’m currently in year 11 and today I got called into a meeting from my maths teacher, he offered me a school trip to go and look around Oxford university and do a workshop about the application process and things because I am in the top 4 students in year 11 and they believe that I could potentially go on to apply to a place like that!! I am so unbelievably excited and you are such an inspiration to me!

Your story is so inspiring to me... I've been following your content for 6 or more years now, I remember you studying so hard in school, I rember the rejection from Oxford, the poem you read through tears and how proud of you and impressed it made me feel, you being devastated by your first mark in uni and the courage of being vulnerable online, you changing degrees in Exeter, the gap year. Now I can see how all these experiences probably shaped you into a person that can now fully thrive in Oxford. Because it will be more than just productive. I really wish you have amazing time studying there, meet new people, get inspired, be happy.🎉 Meanwhile I got my master degree in natural sciences, got into PhD programm and dropped out after a year, dropped out of NGO I had spent 6 years working in... And now I am depressed and looking for a job in completely different industry and getting rejected again and again. Maybe it is just redirection that will pay off eventually, I really hope so

The Oxford University experience looks nothing less than amazing, gruelling too with all the library visits, preliminary research and the pre-readings before class even begins! Think about that! Can't study at Oxford without a proper tea set-up. Thanks Ruby for highlighting that😅 And your visit to Blackwell's, consuming a well-curated museum of books at your feet. Better know some Latin while you're at it🎉❤😅

I’m still astonished by the prep ahead of time. When I did my master’s we had such an unbelievably different set up. I was working full time for the two years leading up to it to be able to afford to go. The reading list was four books! That was all we had to do. I realise that vlogging is one of Ruby’s jobs but she is fitting in a lot of actual study around talking to us.

@@bethmcmullan7686 not even going to dignify that statement. Sure, Oxford churns out a lot of Tory knuckleheads in the halls of power particularly policy-wise (Sunak Truss, Boris Johnson etc), but that doesn't mean Oxford is devoid of very high educational standards. Just take a look @ calibre of books Ruby is reading before classes officially start. That should tell you all there needs to know

As a homeschooling family in the US, our kids each learned a different foreign language in high school after learning some German in elementary and middle school and studying Latin and Greek root words with flashcards for several years. My eldest learned Latin in high school, my second learned German, my third learned Russian in a community college course, and my fourth learned American Sign Language online via ASL University. I am currently reviewing and furthering my studies in German via DuoLingo, and I've made a start in learning Latin via DuoLingo, too. I am soooo enjoying seeing all of the libraries and Blackwell's!! And I loooove the Sherlocked poster!! Thanks so much for sharing your week with us!! Warmly, Susanne in San Diego :D

Your lovely appreciation of Ruby echoes my own but it worries me a little that you do yourself down by saying you did not do well at school - sure, it may mean not going to an Oxbrige-style university but one’s school record is quite often not a good barometer for how intelligent one is, how hard one may work one day for one’s goals and how successful one may become in life - it’s just about finding the thing that excites you and then pursuing it with everything you’ve got.

I liked the last library you went to the Taylorean Library (hopefully I got that right) that is my most favourite. I would totally study there all the time. Awesome video. Watching the other students studying at the same time was so satisfying. I loved seeing the art and sculptures around you. Thank you so much.

Thank you for another lovely video! They are so bittersweet - I enjoy them Immensely, at the same time they make me long for those wonderful studydays at Uni.. when you start at the library, grab a coffee before seminars, have lunch with your mates and then go out.. and then watch the sunrise together in the park..

Hey Ruby, I just recently fell in love with your videos and the comfort they bring me. As I am quite a new viewer, I have no idea if you already have something similar to this, but I would just love to hear you talking more about things that interest you! Whenever you bring up an essay that you’re reading and briefly talk about it, I find it incredibly interesting! I love hearing curious minds talk about interests them. This could be a nice little podcast format, wouldn’t have to be big or overwhelming! Anyway, I wish you a cozy and atumny evening 🍂🥮🧡

Congratulations on getting to Oxford. My cats were fascinated with this video. My tortie actually jumped off the couch to sit directly in front of the television. Everything looks so nice and I hope everything goes wonderfully for you.

Thanks for the lovely video as always, Ruby!!!!! It has always been a dream of mine to at least visit Oxford (if not do a guest lecture one day). It's better than I have ever dreamed. You seem to be having a blast. I look forward to all of your future videos from there.

I love how "at home" you seem to feel, Ruby. You've really found your rhythm already and that's so great! I hope you can give us advice about how to mix studying and reading for pleasure: I'm starting a Master next year, and I would like to be able to read a bit for myself besides all the compulsory books that I'll have to read for my dissertation.

Hi Ruby! Good luck with your studies! Other than stressing out, don't forget to enjoy it! I was crying and stressed out when I was in Uni, but after a few years of being in the workforce - aka real adult life stuff- I miss undergrad.

What a delightful atmosphere it must be to study in the walls of Oxford where countless generations of students did the same, the vibe sure is phenomenal.

Hi Ruby I'm so pleased that things are going this well for you at Oxford and that you are making friends there. Apart from the academics I always just hope you won't be lonely wherever you are (because I usually am!). Also the weekly video seems perfect so that you can spend as much time as possible focused on the studying for this out-of-this-world course.

I'm so glad you're getting to experience Oxford Ruby ! My sister moved there from Canada 28 years ago and I've been a number of times . One of my sisters and myself are coming in May for 3 weeks . C.S. Lewis is my favorite author and I can highly recommend Mere Christianity . There's so much I love about Oxford . The Botanical Gardens , Addisons Walk by Magdalen College , Evensong at Magdalen ( so peaceful and beautiful ) , and all the gorgeous Colleges and grounds . I'm not sure if they're still doing it but Tuesday nights The C.S. Lewis Society meets with speakers from all over . And M&S has a wonderful Food Hall in the basement . I'm looking forward to going along with you on your Oxford journey . 💕💕🇨🇦
