As the thread title says, you have superpowers! However, instead of using them to rob banks or fight crime, you use them for completely mundane shit like school or work. I would want the ability to soak up and retain knowledge from contact with books. I would never have to read a textbook again.

I'm a pizza slinger. Teleportation to deliver pizzas as soon as they come out of the oven would be goddamn amazing.
Ability to freeze time and continue to manipulate objects while time is frozen.
I'll never miss a class assignment again. Oh, if only.

Blocking out sound.
I'm somewhat sensitive to loud noise, and apparently I angered some kind of baby deity in a past life, because there are screaming, crying babies pretty much everywhere I go. Noise cancellation around me would be great, since I wouldn't have to pull up my iPod every time I encounter a screaming child.
(Disclaimer: I don't hate babies. I feel a little bit ashamed of my strong negative feelings when I hear their cries and screams because, really, they can't help it. I just hate noise)
Oh, and the power of flight. I would never have to take my stupid driver's license; I could just fly to places where I need to go. My parents wouldn't have to drive me around. Everyone wins!

I'm just gonna go with shape shifting because... reasons...
Anyway I don't know I used to be a thief and it sounds really useful for stealing, right now I'm just not comfortable looking like I do all the time, don't get me wrong I like it and would still look like this most of the time but you know it'd be nice to go for a walk every now and again without everyone looking at me like I'm a freak, I'd say it's my fault for dressing like I do but even before I started wearing my long coat with my red scarf that makes me look like a super hero everyone looked at me like I was a freak, I remember this time I went to an arcade because I felt like playing games and everyone was watching like they were scared, it was really uncomfortable and I had to leave without playing anything because I was clearly bothering everyone with my presence and everyone was bugging me with their judgmental stare.
I mean it'd just be nice, because I legitimately like the way I am but it'd be nice to not stand out for once, besides I could go into places without looking suspicious, into any place, I love exploring and that would be super cool.

Telekinesis, the ability to control the inanimate (size and shape), and godly multitasking abilities. Why, you ask?
Also Shapeshifting. I'd start my own youtube channel and people would be like "who the hell is doing those special effects? Who's that guy you're talking to?" And I'd be like "Oh this is all me" and they'd be like "BUNK! You've got a good three feet and 40 pounds on that other guy!" And then I could simply respond with a video where I do a killer impression of the Cheshire cat....good times, good times...

One of these-
Ice breath- Fuck you hot food, I'm not wasting time waiting for you to cool down!
Teleportation- Sure I will gain more weight and loose my streetpass but teleportation is awesome.
Telekinesis- It will make my work so my easier (I worked in retail so it involved alot of lifting and moving stocks around).
Stoping time- nuff said.

Pyromancy, because i like fire and fully controlling fire would be awesome
telekinesis, it would be like having multiple arms with unlimited range

Super speed in travelling.
Oh no I am supposed to be somewhere 20 minutes away in 5 minutes? Well that's ok, I've got 5 minutes to spare, cause it only take me a second to get there!

Mass mind control or the ability to copy learned skills to another would make teaching a lot easier. Parenting too. 
If I could have a modified version of the Super Speed Reading thing to allow me to grade a 1000 word essay in 10 seconds, that would be awesome.

The ability to communicate and control computers with my mind. I'm and IT assitant and it would be great if I could force a computer that's not doing what it's supposed to do or what I want it to do to do what I want just by thinking about it.
Well I have two depending on if the first one doesn't count...
First request: Super healing (see Wolverine). This has been a terrible year for me injury-wise (curse this aging body!!!...and I'm only 28 for God's sake!). In April, I had a severe sprain in my ankle playing soccer (crutches for 4 days and hobbled for about two months). In May, I sprained my wrist (pain and hand brace for two more months). About a month ago, I hurt my knee playing ultimate Frisbee (sum'***** still hurts; currently icing, rehab, and knee compressor).
Being able to to heal from these and other issues would be epic.
If that doesn't count since it's not really "mundane"...
Second request: Whatever gets me out of F'ing traffic. Super speed? Flying? Teleportation? Whatever. I just don't want to be in traffic anymore.
