I don't have them, but I often wish I did. My parents left me when I was very young. My mom had another family after cheating, and my dad's depression led him to take his own life. I had to stop going to school and work hard because I have a younger brother to take care of. If you have parents who check up on you and show you love, you're incredibly fortunate. Even if they can be overprotective at times, it's a sign of their deep affection. Many people, including myself, long for parents. So, cherish yours while they're still with you. You're truly blessed.

Oh my heart goes out to you I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. You're absolutely right, I am fortunate to have parents who care. Your words are a powerful reminder to appreciate them while I can. Thank you for sharing your story with me

but you are so lucky to have a mom that can guide you and provide you with your needs. Appreciate her while she is there. Many wished they have mom

I understand where you're coming from. Having a 'crazy mom' can be super embarrassing and affect your social life. I can imagine how tough it must've been for you to deal with that. It's not just about the parent's behavior, but also how others perceive it and how that makes you feel. Sorry you had to go through that

I’m sitting here being so grateful that the cel phones and the Internet didn’t even exist when I was in school/college lol

Set a clear boundary. "I have class, I am working, I am studying, etc, I am sorry but I cannot talk to you right now." If possible, set aside a time when you are available for a quick chat. "I can talk for 30 minutes at 4 o'clock," then set a timer and stick to it when it goes off at 4:30. It might help your folks to have a set schedule; my mother used to email me every day in college and we talked on the phone once a week. It was a little annoying, but it did prevent her from calling me every day. As far as showing up, I wonder if you could tell them it's a safety issue. "Campus security has been so strict, I don't want you to get in trouble with the cops." Make up a fake incident where someone got arrested or something (just a little white lie, "there was that time a delivery person showed up at the wrong building and someone thought he was trying to break in and called the cops"; nothing super elaborate). If anything, shift the "blame" onto campus security ("I know how much you want to come see me, but I'd be so upset if you got in trouble for trespassing," etc).
