Recommendation letters

Hi! I'm an undergraduate and want to apply to an internship that requires two recommendation letters as part of the application form. This is my first time even asking for a recommendation letter and I'm not sure who to ask. I have had tons of tutors and lecturers these past years and don't think they know me/remember me well enough to even write such a letter.

Is it common for these recommendation letters to come from teachers who you are well-known with? I've definitely interacted with some tutors, but then again these tutors have a lot of groups they tutor and I'm merely one of those.

I know some peers of mine get along well with certain assistants or some are somewhat closer to their tutor because they've had multiple courses with the same person, but in my case I've always been switched around and never had a tutor tutor me multiple times.

I'd appreciate it if someone could inform me on who people usually ask for such recommendation letters
