More about teenage mom with controlling mom
Before I could ever even think of what I wanted my mom already planned to have my baby in a room next to mine and we just painted it. Now I'm feeling like I want my baby to be in my room actually and her crib be in my room does that sound stupid? Idk what I should say should I just say that?

It's fine to feel like you want the baby in your room, but feelings aren't plans. So think about this as a plan, and ask yourself, and then your Mom, some questions.
How long do you want to baby to sleep in the same room with you? When do you go back to school? Do you want to wake and sleep at the same time as the baby? Do you have another space to study in while the baby in sleeping? Do you want your mom walking in and out of your room to care for the baby? 'Cause if the baby is in your room, then YOUR room is Baby's room and privacy will be a very different thing.
It doesn't sound stupid to want the baby that near - at least for a for a while - but it's certainly good that the baby has a room to itself as well.
Have a longer think about what is actually going to happen, and then talk to your mom.
It's not wrong or evil for your parents to be making these choices for you - it's natural that they want to take care of you and it's part of how they are being supportive. So don't flip out just cause they went ahead and painted the room. For all you know, your mother might think it's perfectly obvious that the baby will sleep in your room at first. You don't know until you talk about it.
