I can't ever do anything good enough for my mom.

Everyone else thanks me but she just criticizes me. She is all wrapped up and bound in her good sounding words that everyone has the pass her high standards that she doesn't even pass. Plus, she criticizes young adults for not having a job, but doing odd jobs(who live alone) but two of her friends went to the disability place and pretended they were 2 and she didn't say one word.

Renew your focus to study and become independent in the future. When you move out, your mom will have to phone you to criticize you. Then you can slam the phone down on her, if you feel like it. I have a horrible mother and that is what I do.

You cannot live for someone else. You will never please her. This is something within her that you cannot touch or change. You have to be satisfied with the work that you do and the way that you live and that must be enough. You are already able to criticize her for her hypocrisy and favoritism so you know her judgment is flawed. She is not your barometer for what is "good enough". Only you can measure that for yourself. You need to stop concerning yourself with what your mother thinks and trust your own mind. Let her shout into the wind and turn a blind eye to friends, this has nothing to do with you. Ignore her and achieve what you want to achieve.
