The Buried Life

Last week, a new series on MTV called The Buried Life, had its finale. It's a show about 4 young adult males who go on an adventure trying to cross things off their list of 100 thing they want to do before they die. Every time they cross something off their list, they help a stranger cross something off theirs. It's actually kind of touching.

It reminded me of the green light in The Great Gatsby. No, technically the list is not only one thing they desire most in life, but it does connect in a way. I think the show sends out a great message, if you put your mind to it, you can do anything you want. Their list is composed of small things, not anything like 'find a cure for cancer' or 'change the world'.  Most of the things they do are not hard to accomplish, showing that you can be a better person with taking small risks everyday. It makes me want to make my own list of thing to do before I die. Do you have one?

What do you want to do before you die?
