Crosswind corrections: "wing for wind, step on the stripes"
Crosswinds in GA airplanes can be tricky because they force you to un-coordinate the airplane. I like wing-low approaches in Cessnas for a number of reasons, mostly because it's easier to deal with puffy breeze. When you're crabbed, you need to re-crab in every puff and lull, which increases workload. An easy way to remember what to do in a wing-low crosswind is as follows:
Wing for wind: roll toward the wind to point some lateral lift against it.
Step on the stripes: to prevent yawing off centerline, step on the rudder to keep on centerline. If the centerline stripes drift left, step on your left rudder. Stripes right, step right.
I recommend practicing this in a swivel chair to get the hang of it on the ground. That will cheaply build muscle memory so you don't need to think as hard in the airplane. When you get into bigger airplanes like the E175, you will need to hold the crab and kick it out in the flare.
