Human Factors; Weather
On final coming into [Runway] XXL I began my touch down and made contact with the runway; a moment after; a gust of cross wind picked the aircraft up forcing me to bear left and causing me to veer off the side of the runway. Throughout; I maintained back pressure and ensured the wings would remain level and once I had the aircraft under control I taxied back to the runway while staying in communication with Tower; ATC gave me a phone number to call when I reached the ramp; they checked to ensure my safety as well as the condition of the aircraft. Once stopped; I did a post flight inspection and determined there was no damage to the aircraft or airport signage. Called the owner of the aircraft and his Mechanic will take a look at it in the morning.
