No wonder you're depressed, you spent all that time making a new life for yourself and meeting new people. Now you're going back to the same old place, which you obviously left for a reason. I can't really emphasize with you not wanting to leave college (I despised it so much I dropped out so I could move on in life), but I know what it's like to get settled in to a place that you're happy with.
Why not stay in Macon? I'd hate to move back to my hometown, too. Hell, merely spending 3 days there for Thanksgiving made me depressed enough that I spent most of my time there drunk, asleep, or talking to friends/coworkers back home.
If you must move back, track down some high school friends who stayed in the area and catch up with them. If you went to college immediately after HS you have a 5-year reunion coming up soon. Seeing some familiar faces should make it more bearable. Good luck.
