Even now, as a university student she's always nagging about how I 'need to make the right friends, dont waste time with stupid things, focus on school because if you screw up terrible things will happen blahblahblah'.
If you can build up the courage, ask her an honest question. Say to her, "hey mum, don't you think I can take care of myself?". Ask her very sincerely and see what she answers. In any case, don't worry too much about the nagging. That's just something all parents do. It's not like you have to take it seriously or anything. Just pretend to be listening and then move on like nothing happened.
