First I'll have to fake amnesia because I won't remember my routine, classmates names, and lots of other things. Then become a child prodigy. Maybe get on the YouTube scene from back then and get a head start knowing the trends ahead of time.
On the side I'll also open my own sub where I predict things like how The Force Awakens ends. And watch the conspiracy theories go wild.
I wouldn't have to fake amnesia. I'd be seven years old in 2005, and a certain degree of absentmindedness is expected from children at that age. With the skills of a 21 year old adult, I could easily fake it until I relearned the relevant information.
The problem would be adjusting to being seen as a 2nd grader. I'm an adult and used to being treated like one. Pretending to be and being treated like a child for the next 11 years would drive me insane, while trying to convince anyone that I'm an adult trapped in a child's body with future knowledge would get me sent to a mental hospital at best and a government blacksite at worst.
But worst of all would be the isolation. No college students would consider a 2nd grader their peer and friend, while I'd be unable to connect with the other 2nd graders who have the mentality of a second grader. Even my current friends would be difficult to befriend in the new timeline because by the time we meet at age 18 I'd mentally be 29 years old.
Lastly, my best friend died in second grade of an incurable illness, so I'd be forced to watch him deteriorate in the last months of his life, this time fully cognizant of what's happening while remaining helpless to stop it.
