What to bring (and NOT to bring) to university || + reacting to first year haul!! 

Also, is it just me, or is Ruby just GLOWING recently??

Everyone listen to your professor Ruby Granger

Advice from someone who has done 2 uni degrees: Do bring more glasses, crockery and cutlery, but dont put them all out in the kitchen. Keep some in your room because your stuff WILL go missing/get broken/get used by housemates and not washed. So it's good to have spares. Uni lecturers talk way too fast to take hand notes... use a laptop and remind them to upload their ppts on to the system so you have access to the information after the fact. Ear plugs are essential.

If you’re in a bigger flat with a shared kitchen I would actually recommend more cutlery than what Ruby said!! Things seem to go “missing”

Ohh my god Ruby has transformed so much in just 2 years!! Her whole personallity...but still she is our teacher

It’s so interesting to see how much you’ve changed and grown as well!

As a recent graduate here’s what I needed to finish my studies Cum Laude: - my laptop - some paper - one pen

if you don't bring anything else...bring slippers. slides, flip-flops, fuzzy house slippers idc. you will not vacuum every day. you will not want to put on shoes to wander around the dorm building. ESPECIALLY if you have roommates, triple especially if even one of you has long hair. just. slippers.

me: I think I need a couple more glasses for uni this year ruby: *literally step one* me: I think I need a couple less glasses for uni this year

I haven't used a shower cap in my whole life.

Also, it’s really nice to see how much confidence you’ve gained since 2 years ago. 💙💙

I've never been this early .... Today it's Teachers' day in India . I feel that you're one of biggest inspiration who taught me that Studies can be enjoyable

Friendly reminder: If you are a lazy person, bring the least amount of dishes ,forks and cups (etc) as possible in your dorm.Or else they are going to end up like a huge pile in your sink.And noone likes that.

Ruby is such an organised person!! It's because of her that I'm starting to organise my stuff... Thanks a lot Ruby!!! ❤❤❤ xxx

The fairy lights, yes! Without them, I would never mentaly survive my year of study in university abroad. The first night in different country, without friends, family... all alone... the fairy lights felt like being home and it was really comforting.

Definitely the amount of stationery you need depends on your course. I did maths and I used loads of paper, because I had to take hand-written notes. Doing digital notes is not possible for maths!

I found that getting a lot of my homeware things secondhand was really helpful since you can find some of those long-lasting items pretty inexpensively if you aren't able to buy them new! Like most of my cooking stuff was honestly from a thrift store (I made sure to disinfect all of them SUPER thoroughly first of course!) and it saved me tons of money

Ruby, your buying advice is just like my mom's...She always tells me to buy something little pricier when buying multiple use items like winter coat towels bedsheets crockeries etc and my stuffs always last sooooo longer..not having to constantly buy same thing over and over again is such a relief..

I've started my first year this year, but online ! Thank you Ruby for your videos, you remind me why I love learning whenever it's most needed :) ❤️

I honestly have been loving your videos so much! 💛 You're like a bright ray of sunshine on a gloomy day! 🌺✨

Don’t stress if you over buy, when you live by yourself you’ll appreciate the extra aesthetic stuff you bought.

Ruby makes autumn my fav season with all her hygge and uni videos. Love you Ruby thank you for changing my life! xxxx

I’ve just had a little watch marathon of your uni videos to get me motivated for going back to uni🤣 you’re honestly saving me Ruby! So thank u👏🏼💗

I was just in the shower, wondering when a new Ruby vid would be up, and I came out to this... perfect timing!

I've recently found your RU-vid account and I love it! I guess many people have already told you this, but you have such a soothing voice!!

I really enjoyed this! I’m also in my 3rd year at uni now so watching this made me think back to how I also way overpacked for first year, an amusing trip down memory lane for sure :’) I love your content Ruby! ✨

RUBYYY THIS OUTFIT IS SOOOOO CUTE I LOVE IT

Ruby i want to tell you something... I used to be very unproductive earlier but after watching your channel i have really improved. You are like an inspiration

I feel like i've grown up alongside you, thank you for being such a fantastic influence on me. You're brilliant!

Omg I always buy so much stationary and unnecessary extras which I NEVER END UP USING. Every year always think I am going to be so organised and motivated but it never lasts.

Ruby you've grown so much in these few years, you genuinely seem like such a lovely and bubbly person to be around!

This made me realise just how much you have grown (and me with you) in these past years. I ve loved you then and i love you now 💕

I'm beyond uni but still watch Ruby's videos because the aesthetic is just everything!

Ahhh, 12 more days!!! I am very excited for uni vlogs!!! x

My top kitchen tip - buy a roll of coloured electrical tape and tape the ends of your cutlery, your mugs, base of your plates etc. Then at the end of the year you know what’s yours to take home! Even better- assign a different colour to each flat mate especially if you all bought the same set of cutlery

Many thanks for getting me actually excited to start uni every time I have doubts😊💙

Ruby s dedication to her intro for years Is so cute

Ruby it is so lovely to see you. Looking back, it is hard to believe you are now in your third year of university (even though second year of your course)! Where has the time gone??? You are still just as sweet and lovely as pre-uni but you have also grown so much as a person as well! We sincerely hope your English Lit. excursions continue to fuel the fire within you and, even with corona still happening, you have a wonderful and ever expanding in knowledge, growth, experience and understanding academic year. Massive hugs! 🌹 and the gang

When are the planners going to be shipped? I ordered mine on the 17th August and I don’t have it yet. I hope it comes before school starts!

I’m sooo with you on the lights and darks situation... I just shove all my washing in and hope for the best and nothing has gone wrong so far 😂 Honestly though Ruby this video is such a mood, I did one of these and the amount of RUBBISH I bought with me to uni was ridiculous 😭

It's so cute seeing how much you've grown up in the last two years! 😭❤️

I’m starting uni a week today and I love candles and I also bought a set of 3 led candles for my room. My room is a studio like yours in first year and I’m so excited 💕

Hey Ruby , I have been following u for years . I love your videos 💕 . You really inspire and motivate me to study and work hard . xoxo 😍

Being a senior is challenging but the pandemic makes everything so unpredictable. I swear Ruby's videos keep me sane. Thanks

I never realised I would need a video like this! But here it is, so thank you Ruby!

Hi Ruby, Always keep waiting for your video release. Such an inspiration you are.😘

I have that same measuring glass! I used it more as a shot glass on college than for baking but now I live in my own house I find it useful for liquid measurements as well

It was so helpful And your content is so unique

Ahaa ruby is excited for her university :)

This was so useful I’ve just got some things for my 2nd year but after watching this I’m getting the ikea jar for my oats, exercise mat, shower cap, coasters and some door hooks as my hanger too didn’t fit through my door. 😁✌🏼

Ruby I so glad you again uploded a video for motivating me. Thankyou so much. I would like to wish you a very happy teacher's day.

Ruby. You are really a study queen 👑

omg this is a much needed video!!! I'll be going to uni this october~

I feel like your the most productive person in tge WORLD

also, how do you know the size of your bed when you buy beddings and stuff? any recs on bedding?

As a nervous and excited first year, I've never clicked so fast on your video 😄✨

Ruby you’re amazingggg 🤩🤩

The drying rack you put on your radiator was extremely usefel when I was renting, with roommates, so I didn’t have to hang my socks and underwear with everyone else’s (they also tend to fall over when people are walking past)

I graduated this summer but still find these videos interesting and weirdly relaxing to watch! :)

Well done Ruby, very well made. Love you! X

Hey Ruby I‘m really excited to watch your vlog where you read 😊👍🏼in this month

Me encantaron las partes donde Ruby decía “bueno, realmente esto no fue necesario”. ❤️❤️

I am nervous for school but something about Ruby’s videos make me excited and less nervous for school.

Are there any battery candles that you would recommend?

I LOVE THIS SOOOO MUCH!!!!

Omg Ruby you are such an inspiration and I love your vids am going into year 9 but still love your vids

Oh my god Ruby's book 📚 shelf is over flowing 😉😁😁

truly enjoy your videos!

Hey Ruby :) I was wondering if you could talk about growing out your fringe. I have had one for years and everytime I try to grow it out, it starts bothering me and I end up cutting it again.

Ruby! This is your best video yet - I'm studying a graduate degree so don't really know why I watched this but I LOVE how you come across in this video!!

You are such a organised and productive person..always a source of motivation..🤗 (Btw, studytuber here ..🌟)

that digestive cookie plushie behind her is EVERYTHING💜

I actually bought an ironing board + iron during my second semester because I like to iron certain pieces of clothing and hate it when they're all wrinkly. But if you don't feel that way I'd agree with Ruby - especially when your room is rather small.

Well I m a graduate but still love to see your videos about back to school and back to university

Such a useful video! :) Strong minimalism vibes

Ruby! I love your videos! ♥️♥️

Love your outfit Ruby!

The slow-mo for the tea drinking 😂 "and that's the tea!"

Tip - perhaps bring a distinctive plate (other than a white Ikea one) as people may get confused :)

Very nice and helpful video Ruby thank you so much!

crazy to see how much you have grown in 2 years!

i completely agree with getting slightly more expensive stuff that you know will last if you can. You will probably save money in the long run when you look at how long they last. When it came to going to university I bought more expensive pots and pans which I hope to use well after uni too and I definitely do not regret it

love ruby so much 💛💛😻

Hi Ruby, I was wondering when your academic planner will be back in stock? Thank you!!

❣️ you inspire me alot thank you Ruby

Her vedios motivate me so much !

Hey, ruby ILY but I have A question that have you ever read the book DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL.......PLEASE TELL....also what was your expierence....

Does anyone know when the next batch of academic planners are being sent out?? Ruby said it was sometime in September I think right?

You are Soo inspiring , I really love your videos .... ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Never been earlier like this

I also love your new video intros!

To add to the tupperware, I really recommend oven safe glass tupperware. You can get it quite cheap in TK Maxx, and it means you can make like lasagnas and things in the oven, and use them as food storage in the fridge, AND use them in the microwave! It's also really hard wearing, and I use it to help transport little bits and pieces to university. ETA: Also Towels! I bought a really cheap set of 4 towels in the factory shop before 1st year, and they work fine but they're pretty thin and I think they're going to get holes in them fairly quickly. I'm going to use them as kitchen rags once that happens because they're not awful. However during the summer before 2nd year I bought some really nice flannels and 2 lovely plush towels from Dunnes while visiting my grandmother, and they're so plush, so absorbent, and so high quality, even though I didn't even spend that much more on them. The best thing someone can do for themselves if they can afford it is buy really nice towels, because they'll last ages and just add a nice bit of luxury to your day.

I’m not going into uni yet! but i still love your videos ruby! 💖🌻

Love Ruby's 2020 vision at 13:06

Where you got your mug? So cute

ahhh can’t believe your going into second year already!

Really needed 🤩

On the note of being more sustainable - getting spare kitchen utensils from family & friends or/and buying things from charity shops helps! :-)

What app are you using at 0:14 ? Thank you for this amazing video!

OMG, what a great video! You inspire me so much! :) :)))

I also took a mini iron and iron board when I moved to London and its completely true! I've never used it, if I need it to iron my shirt or uniform for work I was using the one that was in the hotel changing room😅
