The project imports CSS into the HTML file from ‘styles.css’ using a link tag:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="./styles.css">

You wrote your CSS as if you were including it directly in the html file using style tags:

<style>
* {
 box-sizing: border-box;
}
</style>

Remove the style tags and your code will work (only write valid CSS in the ‘styles.css’ file).

I removed the style tags. I will only write valid CSS in the styles.css file moving forward. Thank you for the help.
