The Buried Life

What Do You Want To Do Before You Die?

Recently a new show on MTV has started to air, and I've seen every episode since. It's called 'The Buried Life.' It really inspired me to think about 100 things I'd like to do before I die. I used to be one of those people who thought "Why would it matter once I'm dead what I did when I was alive?" but now I realize that it's not about having a list you've completed, but a way to live your life as an adventure and not rush through life with nothing to show for it.

About The TV Show

"Relying on goodwill, guts and gumption Duncan, Ben, Dave and Jonnie travel the globe in a purple transit bus to complete a list of ‘100 things to do before you die’ and to help and encourage others to go after their own lists. For every item they complete on their list, they help a stranger achieve one of their dreams. Everywhere they go they ask the question: What do you want to do before you die?"
