WE'RE BACK + The Common White Girl Tag!!!

Hi guys! 

So... it's definitely been a while and we are really, really, reallyreallyreally sorry about that. The last couple of months have just been craaaaazy for us; we've both started university, moved out for the first time, and had LOADS of work to do. But hopefully next term, we'll be uploading videos much more regularly. 

Anyway, on to the main thingymabobby, the Common White Girl Tag:

I (Charlotte) filmed this with a couple of my friends Alex and Izzy during term-time. It was actually just before Oxmas - Oxford's version of Christmas where everybody gives each other presents and stuff before we all go away for the holidays - which explains the strange, kinda dodgy-looking Christmas tree thing that Izzy made out of coat-hangers and tinsel that's hanging up in the background. If you're wondering about the gold... she ran out of green. *facepalm*

BUT YEAH, this was quite a funny video to film so I hope you guys enjoy watching it as much as we did making it. For now though, I just want to say Happy New Year (better late than never, ay?), and keeeeeep smiling! :)

Oxford Freshers!

Hey guys, it’s Charlotte and todayyy I’m gunna be talking to you about my first couple of weeks at university. 

Soooo for those of you who don’t know, I’m in my first year studying French and Beginner’s Russian... at a different uni to Ranveer. *sigh* ... She's in London, and I'm all the way in Oxford; but don't worry, cos we are gunna keep making videos on our channel! :))

For me, term started really late; the 6^th October. I’d been set soooo much work to do before that date, and in all honesty… I still haven’t finished it. Considering I have a tutorial on Monday based on the part I haven’t done yet, it’s a little worrying. But it’ll get done somehow. xD

Despite having loads of work before and during Freshers Week, I still had (and am continuing to have) an awesome time here. There were clubs, college bops and parties you could go to every night, or, if drinking and clubbing isn’t really your thing, there were a bunch of events like pizza parties, ice skating, trips to this UH-MAY-ZING ice cream place… basically, there was something for absolutely everyone, and you were bound to find other people like you. So if you’re reading this and worrying about when you first go away to uni… stop worrying. Kay? If I managed to find people as weird as me, you can find someone as odd as you. ;)

I really hope you enjoy the video; if you have any questions about university life, or you want me/Ranveer to film something about a certain aspect of it, please please pleaseeee make sure to leave a comment! We'll try our best to do them for you guys. :D

Until next time though, keep on smiling and I hope you have an amazing week.

VLOG: Freshers Week I London

Hey guys, Ranveer hereeeeee!! 

WASSSUUUUPPPP?

Ok, so I'm sure you all know that I'm at university now but what you probably didn't know was that the university I study at is located in LONDON. That's right. I joined the huge student community of one of the most exciting cities in the world. I thought I'd just throw together a few clips that I filmed from my first two weeks here. SO HERE IT IS:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNg_1iNL7so&feature=youtu.be

As a London fresher, there were so many different events that I could go to, but DON'T WORRY! It may seem like I went out to clubs/bars A LOT, but to be honest, I wasn't that bad. Also, I just want to mention the fact that I don't drink (and I never have). You might think that that's a bit weird, but I have SO MUCH FUN going out with my friends without drinking. So Yaaaaay:')

Also, you might have noticed that Charlotte appears in this video too and that's because her university term hadn't started at that time. So she came along to one of my freshers events :D

Now that I'm a few weeks into uni, I don't go out every night, or even every other night. I get quite a lot of work to do from my lecturers, which takes up a lot of my time during the day (after lectures have finished) and once I go back home, I'm too tired to do anything xD BUT, I think I'm starting to get better at balancing work and play so wooooo. 

I joined so many societies at the freshers fair, but now I've come to realise that I'll probably only have time to commit to 3 or 4 of the ones that I signed up to. If you want me and Charlotte to make any videos related to university then let us know in the comments section of our video or this blog post. Or you can tweet us @_ourhappyplace_  :) We could film a university room tour or talk about the subjects that we study; Anything!

Hope you liked the video! xxx

The Humming Challenge

Hey everyone! Charlotte and Ranveer here. =D

It feels like forever since we last uploaded a video, even though it’s only actually been a week; these last few days have been hectic for both of us. We are both finally at university now and have loadsss of work to do, so with Fresher’s Week and all the rest of it, our minds have been a bit occupied with other things. For that exact reason, we decided to upload something which we filmed just before I (Charlotte) went off to uni.

http://youtu.be/ngMin1Uv_yA

This challenge was actually soooo funny to film, probably because I was unbelievably terrible at it. I mean, who knew that Cee Lo Green’s number 1 hit was “It’s my birthday, it’s my birthday…”?!  Like… I literally have no idea where that thought came from. I no doubt amazed you as much as I amazed myself there lol. WHAT WAS I THINKING? xD

Even though I am definitely not very good at this kind of thing – as you can also see very, very clearly by watching our Theme Song Challenge  – Ranveer is actually prettyyyy good. Tbh... as much as it pains me to say it... she really did deserve to win. I’m just EXTREMELY happy that we decided not to do a punishment for once!!! Although, now the score on Charlotte vs. Ranveer is 3-2 to her. I can't let that lead last any longer lol

Still though, do you think you could do better than us, or would you be just as bad – or maybe even worse – than I was?  Leave a comment, and make sure to tell us if you enjoyed watching too.  :)

As always we hope you have an amazingggg week, and we shall see youuuu next time. Later!

When in Cyprus

Hey guys!

So it's just Charlotte here today and... here's the thing. Wayyy back at the start of summer, I went on holiday with some of my family to Cyprus. I filmed a load of stuff, edited it when I got back and then I waited for someone to send me the last bit of footage - video of me scuba diving on this amazing wreck site - and I waited... and I waited... and now Summer is basically over for me because I start at uni on Tuesday. *sigh*

In the end, I decided to just upload the vlog without that extra footage. Hopefully you guys will still enjoy itttt.

There were defo some other memorable moments that did get included in the video though. Eg:

- The number of times my sunglasses got caught in my fringe and hung over my face. 

- The insaaaane amount of table tennis that I played with my bro and my dad :')

- Driving the golf buggy down what was basically a cliff face even though I have ZERO driving experience. Eek!

- THE HUUUGE SPIDER THAT CAME TO THE VILLA akfkskfoneifnsodmsk

- Pretty, pretty scenery. So beautifullllll...

So yeah! It's late. Buttttt, it's finally out!!!

I hope all of you guys had an awesome summer and are having a really great week.

Keep smilingggg,

Charlotte xx

Best Friend Test

Why hello there! :)

Charlotte and Ranveer here.

Now for those of you who don't know... we're best friends. Surprisingly, we only have been for about 2 years - but if you ask me (Charlotte) it feels like it's been forever! I still remember going to Ranveer's house for the first time and just going absolutely crazy with the PhotoBooth on her laptop... There must've been about 100 pictures of us on there just messing around in her room. Although that is of course how all of the best friendships are formed; a hell of a lot of selfies! xD

Even so, we thought it was about time to put our friendship to the test; tag style. Here's part one!

http://youtu.be/HgLTnNYIiRo

The questions we answered in this half were:

- How and when did you meet?
- What's your favourite memory together?
- Describe each other in one word!
- What's your dream job?
- What's your favourite make-up brand?
- What annoys the other person most about you?
- If you could go anywhere in the world together, where would it be?

We hope you enjoy watching it, and learn a bit more about us - we certainly learnt some things about each other filming this lol.

OH, and keeeep smiling!

Charlotte and Ranveer xx

P.S: Part 2 will be up tomorrow! Also, how would you have done with your best friend? Better, worse? Leave a comment :)
