Narrative:
I was doing a solo cross country. Everything was perfect at the other airports. When I came back to the home airport which is ZZZ; I have landed at runway xxl two times. And when I was going to have a third landing; the tower switched to the runway xyr. So; I have tried to land at runway xyr but it was unstabilized so I had to go-around. For the next landing which was for a full stop; airspeed was appropriate and the flight path was correct. The tower was kept telling the wind direction and speed. So I have concentrated more because of the variable of the wind. But as soon as I have landed the plane started to heading left. I didn't press on a brake or rudder but it started to drift. So I have lost control and didn't press the rudder because the plane was too fast. I felt that if press the rudder; the plane could lose the traction more which would cause a more serious problem. So I have just left the plane to head left to the grass and pressed the brakes as hard as I could. After landing at the grass; I talked to the tower right away about the situation.for corrective actions; I'm going to talk with my instructor about the effective use of controls; doing more landing training with my instructor and have a review board with the managers.
