On February 6, 2018, ABC announced fairy tail drama "Once Upon a Time" will find its happily ever after with the finale of its seventh season, as it will be its last.

Over the course of seven seasons and 156 episodes, fans have experienced plenty of joy, pain, triumph, and loss as they have watched their favorite characters grow. There have been pairings we've loved, some we've hated, and some that we wished would happen (Sleeping Warrior! Red Beauty!). "Snowing" - the beloved pairing of Snow White and Prince Charming - had a beautiful love story, but the ultimate example of true love in Storybrooke has always been Captain Swan.

(I know, I never thought I'd ship Captain Hook with the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, either! But look at them!)

From the season two introduction of Killian Jones - aka, Captain Hook - to Emma's final appearance in season seven, fans have been obsessed with the beautiful love story these two characters share. As a celebration of the series and it's beautiful love stories, here's a look at fifteen of its best Captain Swan moments!

First, some music - any Captain Swan shipper knows that you can't go through a list like this without playing "The Words" by Christina Perri, a song that has been dedicated to the much-adored ship.(Bonus: Colin O'Donoghue (Killian/Captain Hook) stars in the video!)

Now, on to the list!

1. The first meeting

While not traditionally romantic - he is part of a plot to kill Emma, Snow, and the rest of their friends, after all - it's nice to look back and see how far these two have come. Who could've guessed that they would fall so in love with each other?!

Episode: "The Doctor," Season 2, Episode 5


2. When he bandaged her hand

Killian's motives for helping Emma here were selfish, but the chemistry between the two of them in this scene is undeniable!

Episode: "Tallahassee," Season 2, Episode 6


3. The True Love test

In an attempt to bring Killian back to life, Emma is required to test her love for him. It is revealed that their love IS true love when Emma chooses to save his life over her own. It's a beautiful moment that fans absolutely loved!

Episode: "Firebird," Season 5, Episode 20


4. Their first kiss

Afterwards, Emma says it's a "one-time thing," but she changes her mind by the end of the season

Episode: "Good Form," Season 3, Episode 5

5. When Killian vowed to win Emma over

Just two episodes after they shared their first kiss, Killian vowed to one day win Emma's heart. By the end of the season, he would succeed!

Episode: "Dark Hollow," Season 3, Episode 7


6. “Princess Leia” and “Prince Charles” dance at King Midas’s ball

The names they used to sneak into the ball might've been fake, but the love between these two was definitely real!

Episode: "Snow Drifts," Season 3, Episode 21


7. Emma is Killian’s happy ending

When Killian finds out that all villains and former-villains lose their happy endings, he worries that he'll lose Emma. It's such a beautiful and heartbreaking scene!

Episode: "Best Laid Plans," Season 4, Episode 16


8. Emma teaching Killian how to use a sword

While stuck in an alternate timeline where Killian is a cowardly pirate, Emma shows him how to use a sword. The results are an adorable scene with the traditional "man teaches helpless girl how to do things" trope reversed.

Episode: "Operation Mongoose (Part 2)," Season 4, Episode 22


9. Emma (finally!) tells Killian she loves him

She was about to sacrifice herself to save Regina from The Darkness, so it was definitely heartbreaking, but at least she finally said it!

Episode: "Operation Mongoose (Part 2)," Season 4, Episode 22


10. The second proposal

The first one was okay, but second one, the genuine one, was absolutely MAGICAL!

Episode: "Awake," Season 6, Episode 17


11. The Middlemist kiss

The ultimate fairytale kiss!

Episode: "The Broken Kingdom," Season 5, episode 4


12. Emma asking Killian to move in with her

There was no big romantic gesture, just a simple, "move in with me," but it's the most Emma-way to ask. It was sweet, simple, and perfect.

Episode: "The Other Shoe," Season 6, Episode 3


13. "You traded your ship for me?"

This scene was their first real time expressing their feelings about each other. It's such a beautiful scene!

Episode: "There's No Place Like Home," Season 3, Episode 22


14. Their first date

He goes to his enemy to get his hand back, because, "Should things go well and she wants me to hold her, I want to use both hands.”

Episode: "The Apprentice," Season 4, episode 4


15. When they (finally) got married

After FIVE YEARS of waiting, it FINALLY happened!!

Episode: "The Song In Your Heart," Season 6, Episode 20

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
