Are you tired of wondering whether you're part of the upper or working class? Do you find yourself pondering what it means to be middle class? You're not alone. As someone who has recently transitioned from a comfortable upbringing in Denmark to life as an undergraduate student in the UK, I've found myself grappling with these very questions.

At first glance, the definition of 'middle class' seems straightforward. According to the dictionary, it's the social group between the upper and working classes, comprising professional and business people and their families. But is that really all there is to it? As I've discovered during my time in Britain, being middle class can be much more nuanced than just a few basic characteristics.

For me, it started with little things like the way I dressed or spoke. My boyfriend would lovingly tease me about my 'middle class' tendencies, pointing out everything from my taste in food to my preference for ironed shirts. And yet, when some of my friends made snide comments about how middle class I was, I didn't take it too seriously.

It wasn't until I began living on an undergraduate student income that the reality of being middle class really hit me. Gone were the days of shopping at Waitrose or indulging in luxurious breakfasts with Nescafé Gold. The harsh truth is that, despite my best budgeting efforts, some of these habits just aren't feasible on a student's salary.

As someone who grew up with dual Danish and British heritage, I never really thought much about social classes before moving to the UK. But since making the move, I've become acutely aware of the concept. So what does it mean to be middle class? Is it simply a matter of clothes, vocabulary, and demeanor?

I'm not sure I have the answer yet, but I'm determined to find out. As someone who's navigated the complexities of social class firsthand, I hope that my story might inspire others to take a closer look at their own place within this complex web.
