Hi my name is Jerry

Im a high school student living in California. I’ve always thought I was an above-average kid in one way or another. Lately, however, I’ve begun to question the world around me—specifically the gap between high school and the real world.

School teaches everyone the same subjects for success, like the Pythagorean theorem or the Magna Carta. But the truth is that after graduation, an estimated 67% to 70% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Most of these people went to school, yet they struggle later in life.

I created this blog because I was tired of being told what to do—whether by the school system or TikTok gurus. Here, I research topics for myself and for other students. Things like social media, AI, and school.

This blog is written from the perspective of someone who is still figuring things out—not an expert, but someone learning in real time and sharing what actually works. I update the site every week with one blog post about something I’ve researched or tested through a small experiment.

What You’ll Find Here

System Critiques
Breakdowns of why the current education system can feel outdated and disconnected from real life.

Real Study Strategies
Practical ways to learn and stay productive, including how to use tools like AI to actually understand material.

Personal Experiments
Exploring real-life skills—from jobs to money to the future of work—and sharing what I learn along the way.

When I’m not researching topics or writing blogs, I’m either kickboxing, learning how to code, or hanging out with friends.

I don’t have all the answers—but I’m someone you can relate to. If you’re in high school, you’re either going through, about to go through, or have already experienced the same things I talk about here.
