How should I help my puppy overcome her separation anxiety?

Firstly, she follows me everywhere! lol I think it’s cute, but my mom says it’s sad and she’s too spoiled. If I go to the bathroom, she’ll sit outside the door. And if I’m in there for more than a couple of minutes, like to take a shower, she’s having a fit whining and barking. When I leave the house and someone else is there, she’ll walk around the whole time looking for me in all the places that I usually stay until she gives up and falls asleep (and wakes up the second I get back home). If I walk out of the room while she’s sleeping, she’ll automatically wake up just to follow me. She’s always right at my heels. I don’t mind it so much, but I would like some tips on making her more independent because I’ll be off to college soon and I can’t take her with me until after the first year. Any ideas on what I could do?

I could go on for ages - but take a look at the source below as it will give you all the advice you need.
