Don't do more than the challenge asks. Let's look at what you have:

 <input type="checkbox" id="shipping" value="fast_shipping"
      name="user_shirt size"><label class="light" for="fast_shipping">Fast Shipping</label>
   <input type= "checkbox"id="newsletter" value="subscribe" name="user_shirt size">
      <label class="light" for= "subscribe">Subcribe</label>
      <input type = "checkbox" id="newsletter" value="subscribe" name= "user_shirt size">
   <label>name="user_shirt size"><label class="light" for="subscribe">Subscribe to Newsletter</label><br>

First off there are only two checkboxes so delete one of your newsletter checkboxes. I'll also delete the additional label, name and class attributes to clear things up some more. 

<input type="checkbox" id="shipping" value="fast_shipping"><label for="fast_shipping">Fast Shipping</label>
 <input type = "checkbox" id="newsletter" value="subscribe"><label for="subscribe">Subscribe to Newsletter</label><br>

From here the for attribute of the <label> tag should be equal to the id attribute of the related element to bind them together. So change "fast_shipping" to "shipping" for the first label. Change "subscribe" to "newsletter" for the second label. 

<input type="checkbox" id="shipping" value="fast_shipping"><label for="shipping">Fast Shipping</label><br>
<input type = "checkbox" id="newsletter" value="subscribe"><label for="newsletter">Subscribe to Newsletter</label><br>

Then just add a line break to the first checkbox and you should be good.
