I really don't know what I'm doing wrong????

Add labels for the two checkboxes that say "Fast Shipping" and "Subscribe to Newsletter". Then add lines after the labels.

I see 2 major issue in your code.

  1. Place the submit button before closing </form> tag.
  2. <label> tag is not closed in 'Fast Shipping'. Should be <label for="shipping" class="light">Fast Shipping</label><br>
