I think you're making too big a deal out of this, and perhaps you've lost sight of what you want.
its also possible your mother is a woman with the best intentions for her son, however short-sighted and frustrating they may be. Just the voice of a devils advocate there.
the only way to resist this, from my perspective, is not to resist. perfect yourself to her standard, but never lose sight of your intentions or priorities. as its said in a zen koan, The pine that bends in winter never splinters under heavy snow.
allot for her to realize your capacity as an adult to manage your own residence and finance. You'll in all likelyhood get what you want, but instant gratification may not be for any of us.
"a lot of shit."
its very easy to call the things you dont like "a lot of shit," and so we often do. its harder to realize and contemplate what it actually means for us, and how we can overcome it if we need to. it is what you make of it, and if you see opportunity in all this shit, then it becomes a lot of potential.

what is it that i've lost sight of? i know exactly what i want. i want to be happy. just like everyone. being in a place with friends that are always there and will help and... be a friend. where everyone can pitch in together to create something that's ours. knowing that anything that we don't want around us, doesn't have to be. that's what i want
( ... )
why dont you just leave it wont hurt your credit that bad. Or you could get enough noise complaints that they kick you out and it wont show up on your credit at all.
hmmmm...... that sucks i've been evicted from two places and they didnt get shit from me and it never showed up on my credit report but i guess it is a risk though.
