As Sunday approaches, Americans across the country are stocking up on finger foods and preparing for the most important game of the football season. But if you're anything like me...you couldn't care less. You mostly attend the championship game parties for the food and put on a front to please your father/brother/boyfriend etc. It's easy to feel out of place when you don't speak fluent NFL or communicate through grunts and high-fives. No worries, though, here is a guide for surviving any Super Bowl party you may attend this weekend!

1. Know what teams are playing

You don't want to be that person who shows up to the party without knowing what teams are playing. Even worse, you don't want to be that person who refers to those teams by their colors. Bonus points if you know which quarterback belongs to which team.

2. Dress accordingly

Once you know what teams are playing, decide who you'll be cheering for and dress accordingly. Ask a friend to borrow a team shirt/jersey or simply wear the team's colors. If you're unsure of which team you want to support, dress neutral.

3. Know the correct terminology

Avoid the embarrassment of being the girl who refers to a touchdown as a homerun by learning the basics. If you don't know the correct terminology, it will be even more difficult to follow what's going on.

4. Don't walk in front of the TV

Whether you want more food, another drink, or you're going to the restroom NEVER take a path in front of someone's view. Blocking the TV even for half a second might cause a complete meltdown. Just don't do it.

5. Be present during the commercials

Let's be honest, the commercials are all you really care about anyways. It's what everyone will be talking about for the next couple of weeks so don't miss them.

6. Leave the wine at home, today is a beer day

Football = Beer. From sponsorships to commercials, everyone enjoys beer with their football. You won't find a tailgate anywhere without an iced down cooler of beer. It goes best with the finger foods. Speaking of....

7. Bring food

If you want to be the MVP of the party, bring finger foods. No one has time to sit down and enjoy a meal, so browse Pinterest and pick a dish that can easily be eaten as the intensity of the game rises.
