Im 19 and i had to move back home for Christmas break (i live in the dorms at school) and my dad insists that "its the principle" that i still have an 11:00 curfew. He is the most stuborn person; how can i get him to trust me and let me stay out later? Im desperate to live my own life and have him stop controlling it.

Do you think he is trying to control you or is he just worried about your safety? You are probably the most valuable thing in his life and he doesn't want harm to come to you. Also, are you in consideration he probably still has to get up and go to work each morning and he might not sleep well if he is worried about your safety? Try to sit down and in an unconfrontational way talk to him and see if there is some way to give you a little more leeway and still let him have peace of mind.

The only thing you can do is move into your own house. When you're under your parents roof you have to follow their rules. So u have to deal with it for now, but just keep in mind what u have to do.

just accept your dad's rules for the short amount of time you will be spending there, you are only 19 in a few years you will be laughing about his "rules" on holidays with your kids and then you will be worried about making your own rules...

Your in his house it's his rules. I know that's tough but it's only for Christmas break right. Parents never think their kids are grown enough, smart enough, and that they know what's best.
You know and I know thats bunk but I'll say it again it's his house, his rules.
Merry Christmas

Respect your dad's rules when you are in his house. That should be a no-brainer if you are a decent person.
