But my suggestion is save that list for later. For now, do what others have suggested and drop the subject. After you have been accepted to one or more colleges and have decided where to go, that's the time to have the discussion again.
But I wouldn't approach it as something you need to convince your mom about; my guess is that will just get more push back. In my experience, your best bet is simply to respond to her concerns about what happened to her friend with something along the lines of "Mom, you know that you and dad taught me how to make good decisions and how to do the right thing. Trust me to do what you've taught me to do."
