Reacting to my First Year University Results 

For those confused of the UK system (All marks are percentages!) Under 40%- Fail 40-49%- 3rd 50%-59%- 2:2 60-69%- 2:1 70%+- 1st Humanities degrees are marked like academic papers and to get over 80 usually means your work is publishable as a stand alone academic work, so it very difficult to get in a BA subject. A 2:1/high 2:1 or 1st is expected for most jobs and post grad courses. Hope this helped all other nationality viewers :)

AHHHHH CONGRATS RUBY!!!!!! You’ve absolutely smashed your first year and inspire me so much every time I see you by how strong your work ethic is - you’re always 5 steps ahead!!! No one deserves this more than you!

71.25 isn’t “just” a first, it is very difficult to alter overall grades by a percent! Wait until your final year and you will realise that percentages take a lot to change, a 100% essay in your final year might only alter your final grade by 0.1%! Be super happy with 71.25% because you haven’t scraped it at all, 70.01 is “just” a first!

You can hear the Exeter twang on “percent” already

Well done Ruby! Great first year!❤️

Congratulations on getting 84% in one coursework piece - that usually means it's publishable!

The intro with the quill is my favorite..

Congratulations Ruby 😍 I have been following since wayy long back . Love to see you growing. All the best

You shouldn't doubt yourself so much! Your grades are really good!

Great job! You have worked so hard! You earned your amazing results! Keep up the good work! You have a brilliant future ahead of you!

Great job Ruby! You absolutely deserve it, you go girl

Congratulations Ruby, I'm very happy for you. Even if you didn't get a First, I would still be very proud of you. You are a humble, diligent and dedicated student and grades don't define you. All the best for the next year!!

Congratulations Ruby, it's well deserved. Keep up the good work. You're such an inspiration to us.

"Just a first".... Don't worry - you got a FIRST! that is absolutely amazing!

It feels so good to see you happy Ruby! Also, it must be really satisfying for you to watch your first reaction video at Exeter and see how much progress you have made!

We all feel so so proud of you Ruby! I hope I’ll do as good as you in my first semester of college, which will be starting this fall

This was so heartwarming! :) So happy for you

Ruby! That's so good, you worked so hard, proud of you ❤️ ❤️

Congrats Ruby! This result is totally deserved ❤️

Ruby, you are such an inspiration in a student's life(like, working hard and knowing your responsibilities) and just being yourself. Seeing you get such good grades motivate me to do my best as well. I do KINDA like studying, I mean they say studying done properly can be such a good experience for the brain?? I don't know for sure, but I do get unmotivated sometimes because I think "well there's better things for me to do that entertain me". Watching your videos always motivate me! Thank you for being you and congrats on the results!! ♡♥

Congratulations Ruby!!!

how is 84 even possible in first year?! That's insane

thanks for filming this precious moment,i’m glad that you shared it with us ❤️ keep up with the work and never be scared of getting help sometimes you’re so driven that yoh neglect your feelings.You don’t have to have severe mental health issues in order to reach for help (this is for everyone who’s reading this)You don’t even have to be diagnosed with something to go to therapy.If you don’t look after to the small problems,they can become enormous and affedt your daily functions.

Well done! All your hard work has paid off! Keep it up! Once again, well done!

Congratulations Ruby❤️ So proud of you!!

Congratulations!!!! Well done for the results and surviving the whole year! (I am done with my first year too in psychology, my channel is dedicated to that as well) lots of love 💖💖💖💖💖

Congratulations Ruby! You've worked so hard for this, you should be very proud. I just wanted to thank you for all the motivation and positive content you put out into the community. I've just got the results from my first semester studying Occupational Therapy and I finished with a perfect 7.0 GPA (aka the highest you can get here in Australia)! I wouldn't have been able to do it without your motivational content!

Congrats! You deserve it so much girl♥️

Well done, that's amazing Ruby! 👏☺️🎉

A first woo I knew you could do it Rubh ahh I’m so happy for you.Good luck with your second year💞

I'm happy for you Ruby ! Congratulations ! Jacob xx

Well done Ruby! You are my inspiration🥰❤️

Pls could u do a video on how to write your essays for uni? is there a different criteria and maybe share an example of one to see how it compares with A Level?

I also JUST got a first for my second year of Law. I got 70.5% 😂😂 but a first is a first. Well done 😊

Well done Ruby!! Can you make a video of being productive during the summer please ?

congratulations Ruby so happy to see your result. That a good video😁

so happy for you ruby!!!!!

I legit just got my first semester results back today. Good timing!

Congratulations Ruby !❤

Well done Ruby, that’s amazing!!!

Congrats Ruby!!!!! You are such a hard worker 😀

Ruby, to people outside the UK your grading system is really strange. I am from Germany but I studied in Scotland for a semester. In Germany you fail at 50, at 70 you get a C, 85 might be a B and you only get an A from 90 up. But then again sometimes our grading system can be like if someone did a lot of extra work and is really standing out they can get extra points like 100 + 5 out of 100. Also our grading system is very linear. At first I would never understand why everyone was happy about like 70 or so. And also I wondered why noone got 100 even it they studied really hard. You should explain your grading system in a video, because it is really really confusing for the rest of the world 😂 (or some of it at least)

This is not linked to this video but I was wondering if you could videos related to fountain pens and calligraphy etc. Congrats btw x

Yay well done Ruby ❣️

I am so proud of you! Love from a small youtuber! ❤️

So happy for this !!!!!! Love you Ruby

Congratulations on your first! Well-deserved.

Thanks very much Ruby . Your tips gives me really a excilent result.

Congrats! ❤️

Congratulations, Ruby!!!!

Congratulations!! Well done x

So happy about you💖

Congratulationss, you're amazing🎉

In Finnish universities the scaling goes from 1-5 where 5 is the best and 1 is the worst. For 1 you need 50% and for 5 you need 90%.

You did picture perfect well done young lady cause for celebration

Congrats, Ruby!!!

congratulations Ruby!

Who just love the voice of ruby 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍

Congratulations Ruby😍

It is far too easy to give in to the tendency to compare yourself with others and let the anxiety of results day pollute or tarnish how you view others. I was so close to avoiding this video for this reason, but I think it's important to show our gratitude and support to each-other as this is (most possibly) the most supportive community on the planet! I am unsure if other viewers ever exhibit the same comparative tendencies the closer results day is (idk). I am extremely proud you have come this far, as your videos provided an enhanced means of motivation in my final years of university - and better that you always seemed so humble and relentlessly unique during the process! Of course, you got a first in your first year; you are so utterly deserving of it! I have now graduated with a high 2:1 in Law (with 80 in Trust Law which is unheard of from my institution woah). I know you'll do great and can't wait to see your adventure unfold (you totally deserve it)! Much love, PoA.

Congratulations !❤️❤️❤️

Ayy, I'm so happy for you!

these are such goood marks !! so happy for you

Congratulations on your amazing mark!

Yay! Congratulations. Lovely to hear that accent coming through as well.
