Narrative:

On the first leg of my long cross country flight, after touchdown a very strong crosswind (right) pushed me off to the side of the runway forcing me to the grass edge (left side). Winds at the time were variable, and prior to touchdown the wind was right on the nose (headwind). The local emergency crew was notified and after a complete inspection by the auths, it was determined that no damage had occurred on the airport, nor the aircraft involved. I will say that due to the shifting wind conditions and also a slow reaction time against these factors, the aircraft was placed in this position.
