Inspired by this post.

In the interests of keeping things interesting, no unrestricted Reality Warping (magic is fine, being able to have the universe cater to your every whim is not), or usage of powers of similar calibre (no shapeshifting into god, etc).

I've always been partial to Shock and Awe. No reason why other than that I think lightning is cool.

Teleportation, because the ability to travel anywhere instantly would make pretty much everything so much easier.

Super-Strength would also be useful for moving furniture and other things around with little effort.

Tbh I never really hated his minigames in the original, but they did make them better in the remake.

Being able to freeze time while I'll still be able to move and interact with stuff. I would love to have infinite time for drawing, writing, gaming and other things I like to do while I won't have a deadline to do homework, chores, and other important but boring things.

Teleportation would be my superpower of choice. I could actually bring my best friend food instead of having to spend money on Doordash vouchers for her, I could go and check out any shops I wanted to go to for a new game or cute clothes without having to get my parents to drive me - or worse, take a long and physically painful walk to the bus stop and take a bus into the city... so much potential!

Also realised that I never put down my own choice.

Since some of my other choices have already been mentioned, probably telekinesis. It just seems useful for day-to-day life, like keeping the rain off you, or picking up something without getting burned (like a drink). It would also make it easier to pick something off the floor without having a *Crack!* "Oh, My Back!" moment.

I'd have gone with flying, since it seems so convenient to be able to just go places, but now I'm not so sure.

Not needing sleep. Pretty obvious why. Also, stopping time with Required Secondary Powers for the same reasons as Cutegirl920fire

Being able to teleport would solve several of my problems.

How has no one brought up the ability to warp reality? I'd be able to create and destroy whatever I want note  with no consequences!

Slow down time, so that I don't have to worry about deadlines.

I'm that case, I guess Shapeshifting would be a handy ability to have.

Time manipulation in general. Slow it down, speed it up, freeze it, reverse it, and even do time travel. I could more easily get my college shit in on time, travel forward to see how fucked up the future will be, go back to a less fucked up time, and try to prepare myself for what may happen. And yes, I am aware of all the paradoxes and how hard it is not to change anything even in the slightest.

My next choice would be telekinesis, which would be very useful when you need something in a hard-to-reach area.
