"I think they all look pretty yummy," Murphy said. "Part of being healthy is eating healthy and these foods definitely boost your immune system."
Murphy has already been sick twice this year and expects to catch a cold at some point this winter.
"I don't get the flu or anything, just a cough and sniffles," Murphy said. "College life makes it easy to catch things. I will probably get sick this winter though."
Murphy said it is easy to eat however you want at school because of the options, but students have to make the decision which foods to choose.
"It's easy to eat junk food but it's also just as easy to grab healthy foods instead," Murphy said. "I still eat brownies when I want one, but I also grab fruit."
"Mel," as Melcombe is commonly referred to, said she thinks it's easier to talk to someone who's around the same age rather than an expert.
"People don't always want an expert opinion," she said. "They're more likely to go to a friend first. That's where I want to come in."
