Narrative:

I was landing runway xx at ZZZ; and there was a gust of wind from the left just as I was touching down. I hit the left brake just slightly and began to swerve. I corrected and used aerodynamic braking. I was still veering off to the left so I aimed in between the lights as I braked; and elected to roll to a stop into the grass at the intersection of runway xx and taxiway xx at a 45-degree angle so that I would not cause any damage. Tower asked if I needed any assistance; and I requested assistance so that everything could be checked out properly. Arf came down and helped push my plane back into the runway. The examined the grass; runway; and plane and found no damage or leakage.
