About This Quiz

After a long winter of classes, homework and damp wool socks, spring break starts to look very, very appealing. Sick of studying late and wrapping yourself up in scarves, you long to party all night and spend the day in your swimsuit. Instead of being hunched over a desk with a cup of coffee, you want to be reclined in a deck chair, an icy glass of mint tea in your hand.

Here's the good news: Your dream is totally possible. The vast majority of colleges and high schools give their students a spring break vacation. So if you've got a few bucks to burn and the energy to travel, spring break relaxation lies within your reach! The only question is, where should you go? Are you in the mood for a tropical destination, or would you rather have a good old-fashioned California holiday?

If you're not sure whether you should go to Palm Springs or Puerto Vallarta, this is the quiz for you! We're going to ask you about all of your spring break fantasies, in order to diagnose which sunny vacation spot will truly scratch your spring break itch. Ready to party, quiz-style? Put on some sunscreen and let's dive in!
