This is a tough one really.
You've been on campus for 4 years (or for at least part of your college career) away from home and on your own. You could come and go whenever you wanted, maybe just letting your roomate know what was up and where you'd be.
Now you're going back home. For some people this isn't a problem. Their parents don't bother enforcing any former rules and let those lucky ones do what they want.
Then there's the others. It's like you're in high school again. There's a curfew, you have to practically print out an itinerary, and you get the 3rd degree if you're late.
Moving back home can be tough especially if you end up there for a long period of time.
The best thing to do is 1.) respect your parents rules 2.) talk to them and tell them that they're ridiculous...just kidding.
Seriously, Talk to your parents and try and get them to understand how things are different know that you're an adult. You were able to make your own decisions when you were at school and you can still make the decisions. You're smart and obviously capable since you made it through school without any serious scarring.
It may be a struggle, but both of you will need to give a little and compromise on the rules.
The longer you're at home, depending on the situation, things may get easier. There will be the occasional blow up, but don't let it get to you too much.
