So I am new to this whole holiday thing and I did a big oopsie. My friends and I were planning to go to Spain during spring break, but I booked the hotel for winter break instead. Now I can't refund it... well, that sucks. Any advice, though?

Oh, I totally feel the pain, same thing happened to me but with flight tickets once. I did manage to get a partial refund though after a lot of negotiating. Reach out to the hotel and plead your case. You never know, they might understand. Good luck!

Your predicament is a common one, many adventurers like you have misconstrued their travel arrangements. Here are a few steps you could consider. First, reach out to your hotel and explain clearly what has happened. Although it's not guaranteed, many hotels are understanding and they can work towards a resolution. Remember never to lose your cool during the conversation, it will get you nowhere.
If the hotel refuses to help, you could look into travel insurance (if you have it) as they often cover errors like this. If you're out of luck on both counts, try selling your reservations on third-party platforms like Roomer or Cancelon. Remember, it might be a setback, but it's all part of the journey. You'll do better next time!
