For example I stayed home all yesterday but the day before I went Skiing. You can also give her the flatout line "I'm 19, I can do what I want with my time. Or just explain your point of view on the matter, and if she is understanding, she will understand your concern.
If I tell her I'm 19 and can do whatever I want in my life she' going to be like "Oh really? Who's gonna make your lunch, who's gonna drive you to work, make you breakfast, supper, etc. And go off on me and start showing me how she needs to do it all for me". That wont work.

In her eyes, what you are doing currently and what you could be doing are two very different things. In fact, she envisions you to be a hard-working member of society and hopes that you would excel in whatever field you work in as do all parents.
If it really bothers you, then what you could try to do is go to your mother and tell her politely that you know you're wasting your time, but that you really need a break from all the hard work you're putting. You're not really used to it but you're learning and that very soon you'll be working even harder to earn money and make a living.
You could try that, or just keep playing Xbox all day. ;)
I really can't do that because I haven't but in any hard work to be tired from lol
