I am trying to make my h1 text not squished to the left. I am also using bootstrap so I’m not sure if that effects anything:
h1 {
margin: 5px 40px 10px 70px;
}<html>
<head>
<script src="https://use.fontawesome.com/d712ea1844.js"></script>
<title>About Mike</title>

<link type="text/css" href="css/a1.css" rel="stylesheet">

<p id="p1"> Reflection: Writing this essay was easily one of my hardest assignments I have ever done. It involved levels of research that I hadn’t done before. I learned how to form an argument while drawing evidence from multiple sources. This has helped me in my research and writing skills. My favorite part of writing this paper was doing the research. On this assignment we were allowed to pull sources from almost anywhere as long as they were credible, I enjoyed being able to go as far as my mind could take me. The one risk I believe I took with this project was the structure and flow. The entire assignment was 9 pages long. This made my biggest problem getting it all to flow together and getting my ideas in the right order. If I could re-do this assignment I wish I would write a better conclusion to the paper. </p>

Your margin is working. You want your h1 not squished to the left? How about horizontally centered? (I usually put margin bottom on headers though)
Make sure you are saving the file, refreshing your browser, maybe clearing your cache, close your browser and re-open, do the same for your text editor, etc. Your code does work.
Make sure the local URL is correct in your browser, etc., or post your entire code. Try a different browser. There either has to be an element that doesn’t have a closed tag, another CSS file that is overriding your h1 elements, or something that you have not posted that is conflicting with your styles.
