Be bold enough to use your voice, brave enough to listen to your heart, and strong enough to live the life you have always imagined...... We all support yur decision ruby! Best of luck for your future endeavors ✌❤
You are a person that gives out so much positive vibes, you really cheer me up when i'm having a bad day, i'm happy for you that your course change was successful.
You're really brave Ruby!! It's always important to chase your dreams and this is what you did! I have a feeling that this decision will benefit you a lot throughout your life. Love from Germany 😊
At University of Toronto you don't declare your major until the end of 1st year for reasons just like this! How are you supposed to know what you love studying until you've tried it? Great choice in switching Ruby! I'm surprised how difficult it was to switch. At UofT, so long as you take the required pre req courses in first year (much like your A levels), you're welcome to apply to a variety of majors going into second year and then make your decision. Don't feel guilty or as though there's a stigma around switching! In North America it's definitely the norm to change your mind and try different courses until you find what's best for you. It's a bit different since we have 4 year degrees instead of 3 year, but even then it's normal to take 4+ years due to switching majors and trying new subjects.
In Britain you study 10 subjects until you're 16, then you narrow it to 3, so by the time you're at university at the age of 18 you kind of have a clear idea! I agree that you do change your mind though :)
@@emmaohdeary I see! In Canada you study 8 subjects all the way to grade 12 (when you are 18) each year, so we don't have that kind of 'narrowing' with only taking 3 subjects. For example, at 17/18 I studied chemistry, biology, calculus, functions, accounting, music, history and english. Taking so many things means people have trouble choosing for university though, it's a bit of a double edged sword
@@caitlyngb I understand why you need a year to decide when you get to university! I was doing maths, physics, biology, chemistry, literature, English language, art, history, French and religious studies up until i was 16, and now I've narrowed it down to art, literature and history. It does help to decide!
this choice must have taken so much courage!! I know how stressful uni processes can be - I wanted to change from English lit to English language in first year but just couldn’t work up the bravery to actually sort it (mainly because I found uni so stressful to begin with) and have regretted it ever since!! now doing my masters in business so a massive turn around. you are doing an amazing thing and I’m sure it will pay off x
lol I'm the complete opposite of you, switched from psych to english lit and also couldn't be happier! Changing is deff worth it, always easier to change during college than it is 20 years down the road too!
Also, I'd love if you could make a video about your mental health after the Oxford rejection and everything that led you to choosing philosophy and then realising what you longed for was English.
Sara are you really that unempathetic? Rejection takes a huge mental toll on a person, and if she’s comfortable talking about it a video on the subject would likely help a lot of people going through the same thing.
I only mentioned because she talked about it on her last video and said she might share it... I only meant to say that it's an important subject to talk about and I "would love IF YOU COULD" talk about it... apparently you only took the time to read this comment and misinterpret it and not the other one where i gushed about how she is an incredible woman whose growth inspires me and many others to be true to ourselves...
I just felt it already, before even watching it that it must be English literature 😍 So happy for you, English literature student myself. Loads of love to youu ❤
Gosh, sounds like you had a really stressful time with this whole dropping out/switching courses thing! I hope things will be calmer for you from now on and that you will enjoy studying English.
If you read audiobooks- that would be a dream come true! I am obsessed with your voice, the calming nature of it helps me focus. I can imagine you reading the Diary of Anne Frank, or the Handmaid's tale or every other book there is. Please consider recording audiobooks!
I'm so proud of you Ruby, and so happy for you also! :D I also changed courses during my Bachelor's Degree (twice, and also changed University the second time). It was for the best! I don't regret it at all, even though I know my first or second choices would have been better in terms of 'career'. I'm now in my first year of Master's Degree (were I live it's 2 years, unlike in the UK were M.As are 1 year) and I'm again starting to think about changing program. It's so stressful and takes a lot of space in your head, I totally understand what you must have gone through. I hope everything will be great for you in English :)
it's not a bad thing to drop something because of struggling with grades - I understand that ruby didn't do this (i swapped courses too to focus on one i had more interests in) but i think it should be made clear that dropping if you're struggling is totally fine too! The stigma is stupid.
Switching my degree to English was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. ♥️ and now I’m gearing up to start my PhD in it. Never tire of studying it!
@@literarymary4933 hey what kinda jobs can u get with bachelors in eng lit? And is political science,economics,business or any other social science better job prospect wise?
I always knew from the moment you announced you were changing courses you'd LOVE English Literature. It's the course that one day I aspire to take on! I can't wait for your future uploads and hearing your opinions and experiences! Keep up the productive and amazing work, Ruby !
You are definitely SO brave for making this decision and following your heart (as sad as it is, we live in a society where being indecisive or changing your mind is considered a bad thing). You are such an inspiration for me and many others who also have been questioning their decisions and/or took paths that weren't exactly what their heart wanted. As someone who's finished uni, started work and now isn't sure of the path I've been taking, seeing your journey inspires me to do some soul searching, connect with myself, understand my thought processes to try and figure out what's best for me. Sending you much love and light! 💗
Ruby I´m so happy for you now that you realized english is what you were longing after. Will you resume your daily vlogs? I need some motivation as I'm writing my diss in psych because statistics and apa formats are killing me
Hey Ruby! I wonder if you’ll do any videos based on your study of English Lit at uni. I’m sure many of your viewers love English based on your past content, and it’d be so interesting to see your take on your reading etc!
Might be a random comment, but the bee pencil holder you have in the background at 6:33 is absolutely gorgeous! Where did you get it - and are they still available to buy??
Heya I’m going though a similar thing at my uni ! I’m in first year and not enjoying my course atm. I’m seeing how this year goes in my current course (they won’t let me change) but might change next year . Did you change courses in your second year of philosophy to English ???
Hi Ruby, Congratulations on being a student of English now. I studied English and Philosophy and think I would have liked to just concentrate on English. Have you checked whether you can carry any course credit from what you have done so far? I don't know if this is possible. What made me think of it was that I took an Open University degree as a mature student years after completing my first degree and I was allowed to use some course credits from my original course towards the second degree.
You sort of look like Emma Watson on your thumbnail! 🧐 Anyway, will be supporting you whatever decision you feel that suits you! More power to you, Ruby ✨
Hi Ruby, I saw your video, and I found your decision very brave. I will also transfer course. I currently do library science, but I will switch to advertising (yes, very different from each other lol).
you can always go back and do a Masters in philosophy etc. if you wanted to pick up study again in these topics. Also you will get cross-pollination between disciplines anyway, they are not hermetically sealed. What you have read for your other degree has value elsewhere.
can I apply for two different degrees at the same uni? I wanna apply for law but also sociology. I heard that this makes you look indecisive. Apparently, you have to send your personal statement via email if you do decide to apply for the other.
I decided to finish my certification in music then will change course that is something new to me and will be my long time opportunity that I would like to have in the future. My soft spot is on International Relations and Diplomatic Affairs and also in Education (Special Education).
i swapped courses after finishing first year geology to do natural sciences instead, and i never thought of it as dropping geology. It was just transferring to a subject I had more interest in.
That sounds so complicated. I live in the US and when I switched majors, all I had to do was fill out a quick form and get it signed by the head of the department I was switching into. And then I had to switch my classes but they could be dropped and added online with the click of a button for the first few days of the semester. It was super easy.
@@emmatorode6704 Wow, I'm glad I'm in the US then. I have too many interests to stick to one subject. I switched my major from art to engineering, and I also started minors in other subjects as well like psychology, web programming, and creative writing(never finished any of the minors though because I switched too much). I've loved being able to take a wide variety of classes. And also I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to do as a career, it took me a while to figure it out, lol.
In the US when you applied how specific was it to your major? My interviews where with people from the course and was all about how I would do with the course
@@emmatorode6704 I kind of had to do two applications. One do get into the school as a whole, and then one, which was a portfolio (of my art) to apply to get into the art major. But when I switched to engineering I didn't have to apply to get into it. I don't think all majors required that more specific application. I never had to do any interviews, just fill out the applications, write essays for both, and put together my portfolio.
I wanted to know more about the English literature courses.. My country usually pushes the youth into sciences (in majority) but I'm more of an English person. I'll have to choose in a little while too and part of me is inclined towards English which leaves me a little confused..
Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what I should next. I have accepted a conditional offer to study psychology at Cardiff; however I’m pretty sure I want to study English literature there instead. Does anyone know if I would be able to do this before starting university, or would I have to wait until I start uni (first week etc). Thank you!
@@demelzakonoplyanka8550 Hi! Yes the change was fine! I just emailed the university telling them that I wanted to change and why and they changed it pretty quickly! This was a few weeks before results day :) surprisingly they just let me onto the course (perhaps it was because there were spaces available?) I’m now going into my second year :D I would recommend emailing the University and going from there. (Try to do this asap) if you have any questions just ask!!
@@cherri03 I'm expecting my A Level results on the 18th, but when I was looking at back up courses if I went through clearing, I ended up finding a course that seemed exciting and would challenge me. I've got my accommodation sorted already, and I've registered to clearing through my uni and am waiting to hear back. I'm wondering if you think there's anything else I need to do? Do I need to make another personal statement or be the first to call them?
What the most fault that I've been done was never switch my major I want to law but I accepted in accounting, and in my 2nd year I never switch to law And now I'm in last year, I feel my passion in other major not in accounting So this is make me depression after I graduate later
Hi Ruby. Just seen you video. Then i researched courses that will get high paying jobs. I can understand the conundrum. You have to have the best match for you. I wish i had internet access when i was growing up. My choices may have been better informed. I hope you are enjoying whatever you are doing. Your criteria is based on a kinesthetic and visual assessment perhaps. I get the feeling that you are still learning about yourself. That is good. Meanwhile even if you are financially secure with a good network of contacts, you need to use your time wisely else you will suffer low self esteem when companies reject you even if you have a first.
Ruby, changing courses is absolutely fine! The one thing that worried me, is that you got a loan to go to university! So weird you have to go in dept to go to university? Education should not be a privilige but a right!
Goossens Maud late reply but it’s pretty much what everyone in England does. It’s £9250 a year for tuition and then you get a “maintenance loan” which is based on how much your parents earn. Then when you get a job, once you’re earning a certain amount a percentage based on your income is taken out of your wage automatically to pay it back. When you hit a certain age if you haven’t paid it off, it gets wiped and you don’t have to pay any more back
I‘m not familiar with the British education system (so I‘m sorry for my question) But what kind of job can you do when having studied English Literature? I‘m very interested in that. (Sorry for any mistakes, I‘m still in the learning process and my English isn‘t perfect)
As with many subjects these generations are working on fields that has little or nothing to do with what they studied, unless they become teachers/tutors/professors.. One needs to study something very "exact" to work on the field, like medicine, nurse, engineering, IT etc.. habing said that, the uncertainty of what to do after Uni is what attracts them the most or even challenges them to peruse a career that involves lots of decision making , critical thinking, analysis.
She could do anything she wants pretty much, lots of careers such as medicine etc allow for people to take a test and get into uni to study them post-undergraduate level. Obviously other careers ask for specific degrees but there is very little limitation, she could go into HR, postgraduate studies, teaching, business, so many other things!
Moon Land thank you for your response- but being raised in a environment, where personal success is important I can’t understand how one can be happy if you have your dream job but that job doesn‘t bring you enough money to live a nice life. I absolutely don’t want to criticize Ruby (Go for it!) but I don’t believe that in times of technology English Literature will bring you money. Maybe it’s bc I am from Germany where we are getting taught that jobs like that don’t have a future- but except for a teacher or professor- what can you do with a degree like that)
I'm doing this whole process a week later at exeter. Tried taking the form to the student information desk and they said they don't deal with it lol, so frustrating as I can't get on the new ELE to catch up until someone takes this stupid form from me!
It's really annoying that it can be so longwinded but you can get most of it done in a day if you're really quick on things (I hope this video helps slightly?). It might be worth asking the desk for your new subject if you can have the timetable so you can start attending lectures xx GOOD LUCK!
Wow, how you explained it felt like it was a lot of paper work, when i switched courses it took just an hour with the coordinator of my program and that was it
It's a lot more difficult in the UK than in the US (if that's where you are I'm guessing?) just because of how the system works. In first year of US college you take a lot of different types of classes so it makes it easier to change your major whereas in the UK we specialise into our subject straight away, so it's more difficult to swap.
@@amytc7635 I'm from México, but i get what you mean! here it's not like US but majors that are alike (like business, finance and economics) share a lot of classes the first year so i guess it's easier to switch courses
I’m in Year 12 and I’m considering switching courses and colleges to do something completely different (L3 Construction and Built Environment instead of my three A Levels) and I’m terrified
This is why going to a liberal-arts college in America is really great. You're allowed to have any majors/minors you want that the school offers, and you don't have to worry about there being spots in a specific department for you. That's how I am majoring in French and Math with a minor in Classical Studies.
@@7joursdamour236 I studied the normal subjects that people study like math, science, history, literature, and foreign languages. In high school in America, students don't specialise in things. Maybe some schools do that, but it's not the norm.
@@elizabethbuerke7854 Yes, we are required to study all subjects in high school, but we take electives alongside our core courses. High school is four years from ninth grade to twelfth grade. In most American high schools, we are required to take three years of history, math, and science, which means that they must be studied until eleventh grade. English is the only core course that needs to be studied for four years all throughout high school. Students can take electives in humanities, visual arts, music, science, math, computer science, business, or career training.
@@Honey-vw4hc yeah I thought that too but then also philosophy and theology could have been a 3 year course and English could have been a 4 year course. But I think she probably is just starting "first year"
I am very confused on you and your sisters age difference. Could you explain it to me? By the way I love your videos and have been watching for three years now!
Wow, so brave dropping your degree after a year. Just have a go at English this year and you can always transfer course next year if you don't like it either.
*i can hear jack edwards fangirling in the background*
Yesss
It takes courage to take decisions like this .. we had no doubt you were on the brave side Ruby 💙

it's cause you only switched your major within a program whereas the UK has individual programs for each 'major'
InuKagKik3 in the uk its different. Instead of your major you just have one subject that you take and within that you might have to choose modules

@@demelzakonoplyanka8550 Hi! Yes the change was fine! I just emailed the university telling them that I wanted to change and why and they changed it pretty quickly! This was a few weeks before results day :) surprisingly they just let me onto the course (perhaps it was because there were spaces available?) I’m now going into my second year :D I would recommend emailing the University and going from there. (Try to do this asap) if you have any questions just ask!!
@@cherri03 I'm expecting my A Level results on the 18th, but when I was looking at back up courses if I went through clearing, I ended up finding a course that seemed exciting and would challenge me.
I've got my accommodation sorted already, and I've registered to clearing through my uni and am waiting to hear back.
I'm wondering if you think there's anything else I need to do? Do I need to make another personal statement or be the first to call them?
What the most fault that I've been done was never switch my major
I want to law but I accepted in accounting, and in my 2nd year I never switch to law
And now I'm in last year, I feel my passion in other major not in accounting
So this is make me depression after I graduate later
You're going to soar. I know it.
Are you on your 1st english year or your 2nd, like in p&t?
Hi Ruby. Just seen you video. Then i researched courses that will get high paying jobs. I can understand the conundrum. You have to have the best match for you. I wish i had internet access when i was growing up. My choices may have been better informed. I hope you are enjoying whatever you are doing. Your criteria is based on a kinesthetic and visual assessment perhaps. I get the feeling that you are still learning about yourself. That is good. Meanwhile even if you are financially secure with a good network of contacts, you need to use your time wisely else you will suffer low self esteem when companies reject you even if you have a first.
What will you go and study in university?
I want to change my course but I got rejected before by my uni, and now I'm thinking to quit my degree :') I really don't know what to do
I've just switched from English language alevel to art!! I love both but I think it's so important to just go with your heart :))
Does every uni have a sid? I did not know this :0
Live you so much
Is this about uk universities?
❤️❤️
Ruby, changing courses is absolutely fine! The one thing that worried me, is that you got a loan to go to university! So weird you have to go in dept to go to university? Education should not be a privilige but a right!
Goossens Maud late reply but it’s pretty much what everyone in England does. It’s £9250 a year for tuition and then you get a “maintenance loan” which is based on how much your parents earn. Then when you get a job, once you’re earning a certain amount a percentage based on your income is taken out of your wage automatically to pay it back. When you hit a certain age if you haven’t paid it off, it gets wiped and you don’t have to pay any more back
I‘m not familiar with the British education system (so I‘m sorry for my question)
But what kind of job can you do when having studied English Literature?
I‘m very interested in that.
(Sorry for any mistakes, I‘m still in the learning process and my English isn‘t perfect)
As with many subjects these generations are working on fields that has little or nothing to do with what they studied, unless they become teachers/tutors/professors.. One needs to study something very "exact" to work on the field, like medicine, nurse, engineering, IT etc.. habing said that, the uncertainty of what to do after Uni is what attracts them the most or even challenges them to peruse a career that involves lots of decision making , critical thinking, analysis.
She could do anything she wants pretty much, lots of careers such as medicine etc allow for people to take a test and get into uni to study them post-undergraduate level. Obviously other careers ask for specific degrees but there is very little limitation, she could go into HR, postgraduate studies, teaching, business, so many other things!
Moon Land thank you for your response- but being raised in a environment, where personal success is important I can’t understand how one can be happy if you have your dream job but that job doesn‘t bring you enough money to live a nice life.
I absolutely don’t want to criticize Ruby (Go for it!) but I don’t believe that in times of technology English Literature will bring you money.
Maybe it’s bc I am from Germany where we are getting taught that jobs like that don’t have a future- but except for a teacher or professor- what can you do with a degree like that)
Moon Land wtf what do you want to say with that?
I'm doing this whole process a week later at exeter. Tried taking the form to the student information desk and they said they don't deal with it lol, so frustrating as I can't get on the new ELE to catch up until someone takes this stupid form from me!
It's really annoying that it can be so longwinded but you can get most of it done in a day if you're really quick on things (I hope this video helps slightly?).
It might be worth asking the desk for your new subject if you can have the timetable so you can start attending lectures xx
GOOD LUCK!
Do you think you'll do a masters or phd after your bachelor?
Wow, how you explained it felt like it was a lot of paper work, when i switched courses it took just an hour with the coordinator of my program and that was it
Maybe in the UK is different? In the US it's a really easy process if you're changing to a non-impacted major.
It's a lot more difficult in the UK than in the US (if that's where you are I'm guessing?) just because of how the system works. In first year of US college you take a lot of different types of classes so it makes it easier to change your major whereas in the UK we specialise into our subject straight away, so it's more difficult to swap.
@@amytc7635 I'm from México, but i get what you mean! here it's not like US but majors that are alike (like business, finance and economics) share a lot of classes the first year so i guess it's easier to switch courses
what collage did you go to
I really related to that book sniff
💓💓💓💓💓
Ruby out here with freshers week round 2
Good luck
I’m in Year 12 and I’m considering switching courses and colleges to do something completely different (L3 Construction and Built Environment instead of my three A Levels) and I’m terrified
does that mean youre first year again ??
This is why going to a liberal-arts college in America is really great. You're allowed to have any majors/minors you want that the school offers, and you don't have to worry about there being spots in a specific department for you. That's how I am majoring in French and Math with a minor in Classical Studies.
May I ask, what you studied when you was in high school?
@@7joursdamour236 I studied the normal subjects that people study like math, science, history, literature, and foreign languages. In high school in America, students don't specialise in things. Maybe some schools do that, but it's not the norm.
@@elizabethbuerke7854
Yes, we are required to study all subjects in high school, but we take electives alongside our core courses. High school is four years from ninth grade to twelfth grade. In most American high schools, we are required to take three years of history, math, and science, which means that they must be studied until eleventh grade. English is the only core course that needs to be studied for four years all throughout high school. Students can take electives in humanities, visual arts, music, science, math, computer science, business, or career training.
What course were you taking before english?
Theology and Philosophy
I want to see how you plan your day or how you use to-do list
Ruby Granger hi
Posterposterous sends his love from California. You have the most loyal following. --Postposterous
Are you doing first year English?
I think that she is because she had her loan extended
@@Honey-vw4hc yeah I thought that too but then also philosophy and theology could have been a 3 year course and English could have been a 4 year course. But I think she probably is just starting "first year"
@@chloeleadbetter6770 oh ok
I am very confused on you and your sisters age difference. Could you explain it to me? By the way I love your videos and have been watching for three years now!
Ruby is around 19
Martha is around 17
(May be a year off)
But Ruby’s in uni and Martha’s in sixth form/college
@@TheHollyChronicle THANK YOU!!! I WAS SERIOUSLY CONVINCED FOR A LITTLE WHILE THAT THEY WERE FERTURNAL TWINS BECAUSE THEY SEEMED SO CLOSE IN AGE
Wow, so brave dropping your degree after a year. Just have a go at English this year and you can always transfer course next year if you don't like it either.
