Working on how I can control my acceleration so that I can enjoy sex that doesn't make a woman explode from vibrating too much.
And yes, that's actually a serious answer, though I'd probably find time to do a bit of heroing and practising with my other powers. Wouldn't want to rule the world; not with that powerset.
Might become an athlete or something...

I would practice until I can run through time. Then win every Lottery and sports bet until I become Biff from Back to the Future II.
Once I have a nice legal nest egg. I will play the hero/villain game for a while. Become worshiped like a god. Sleep with who I need to.
When I become a grumpy old man I'll amp punch the Earth and take all my subjects down with me.
I'd probably go insane or die of boredom before I learned to control the powers. Perceiving the world around you at the speed of light? It would for all purposes be like time stopped for everything except you. You couldn't even get any reading down, the friction would cause the books to burst into flames.

But anyways I'd probably learn everything I could and begin running calculations on what I could come up with that I could relatively safely give the rest of mankind without having them use it to blow themselves to kingdom come. After that I figure I'd open a power company and spend 15 minutes a day to power the world and rake in enough cash to eventually dominate mankind. I assume that we have full control. If not try and obtain full control of all of Flash's abilities. i.e. speed force abilities, speed steal the ability to generate a costume which implies at least a minor matter manip capability, vibrating myself through things etc etc.
I'd try and keep a low profile, and try not to go so fast the world slows down around me, because that would shorten my life span considerably..But I'd definitely use it to travel the world. The worlds your oyster, when you can be on the other side of the planet in less than a second.
Lend speed to the world's most brilliant minds so they can get their shit done quicker.
Dispose of every nuclear/highly destructive weapon on the face of the earth.
Throw all rubbish/pollution I can into space.
Hunt down and destroy every terrorist cell I can find.
I then let everyone enjoy this utopia for 2 weeks, before stealing the energy that allows the earth to rotate, carve a troll face large enough to be seen from space into America and run back in time to the 1950's, living out my days as a superfast Don Draper.
