This is a hard situation to be in.

I do know a handful of parents who are still overprotective with their children even when they're adults. Your mom doesn't know her place. It's really hard for adult parents to adjust their role in your life, especially moms.

I think the best advice I can give you is to sit down and talk to her. Tell her that you are an adult attending college. You have friends, you want to hang out with them.

You can't really "make" her stop. You can't really make anyone stop doing anything unless it was illegal or something. So the most you can do is reason with her.
